Unfortunately, that's not armor, and not practical armor either. It's a hollywood costume with no basis in historical or hypothetical medieval military technology.

As a general rule, if your mail is form-fitting, it means that it lacks the amount of padding necessary to absorb the force of strikes. You'll still get broken bones and shattered ribs, even though you won't get cut.
A good thick gambeson or aketon would be much better than this costume, and would be a lot cheaper to make.

Also, her sides and thighs are exposed while she has rather big and awkwardly-shaped pauldrons. Pauldrons are less important than protecting your sides and upper thighs correctly.
A cut to the femoral artery will kill you even quicker than a stab through the gut.

Here's a more in-depth critique of the armor itself :
