I was originally hesitant to download this mostly because we've been seeing SO MANY Anniversary remakes lately, but what the heck, I download everything. XD Besides, your enticing description of a smoother Lara had me wanting to take a peek.
Originality:
I must say that, the originality will be a tad lower in score since it is a remake and all. But still, because these textures are new from what I've seen here on TRSearch, I'll mark it as a nine.
Quality:
I will be honest with you and say, that the quality of the meshes could be better in my honest opinion. The increased points are fantastic, no complaints about making her smoother. But, her boobs ('scuse me for saying lol) look a bit... I dunno, "squished" I suppose. From a side view point I mean. As if she were wearing like a, corset or something of the sort. She could be wearing some crazy bra I suppose... but anyway. xD I think they could be a bit fuller. Straight on they look fine though. She also seems a bit too thin, like her ribcage isn't as proportionate with the rest of her, but that could just be me, I dunno. So I wouldn't take any points off for that. The textures, while lovely and cut very well, did seem a bit too harsh on the fronts of her upper legs. they didn't quite blend to the back of the legs as well as they could, but still it looks really nice! Good to see a Lara with more muscle definition. She should have crazy strong muscles you know? Overall I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I think this outfit is very well done! Just a few things I think could be improved. Other than that it looks superb. I'd say the best Anniversary remake here.
Usability:
This could be used virtually anywhere aside from winter levels I guess, but heck even the original TR had her running around in this in the winter so I would say it could be used anywhere. It's her official garb afterall.
Custom Textures:
Since they're from Anniversary I'd have to give a nine, but other than that they're very well cut for the most part and they look fantastic! I especially like that you captured the ribbing in her top, too. I was afraid the restraints of TRLE would cause too much detail to be lost since textures have to be so much smaller.
Meshes:
As said earlier, the chest is really the only thing I'd suggest improving. Other than that the rest looks very very well done! I especially loved the head meshes. They looked so much smoother and younger, too. And I loved the "SCREAM" headmesh too. the teeth detail was awesome. It totally looked like her from Anniversary.
Animations?
I didn't see any new animations.
Overall, fantastic job! I'm glad to see someone devote so much time and energy into making such a beautiful Anniversary remake. I think you should definitely be proud of what you've accomplished! Definitely surpasses most if not all outfits here. You definitely have your own style. :)
PS: sorry for rambling so much D:
