Could be a bit less boobplate-y, but pretty cool design nonetheless.
pfffft. there’s plenty of room under there for proper padding. look how much it slopes out right at the shoulder level
Yeah, it’s the rare instance of female armor being properly layered beneath the top surface of metal.
But what I meant is that it still has the boob bumps, which create a weak point right where the sternum is. I doubt that the golden ornamentation in that place actually helps the case.
Boobplate is not only superfluous design-wise (because for most armored women breast-flattening with a sports bra, corset or sarashi is obligatory part of padding anyway), it can also kill the wearer.
