I think the armor was probably made for her by someone else, maybe commissioned as a reward for outstanding service or something. An online theory I have seen is that she's actually a captain of their navy/fleet and not their army which grants a lot more rank. Going on this same speculative theory if you examine her cape it has these weird pockets and an overall weird layout for a cape which could suggest that it's actually her jacket uniform (like General Hux's) which she's fitted into a cape to wear over her armor. Whatever the deal is I hope she's better used in episode 8 because they way over-marketed her in 7 for how little she was there.
