![]() Social position and property, inheritance prospects and religion or politics had as much, if not more, to do with it. Marriage, especially among the knighted classes, in medieval times was not primarily about looks (and not even in the West now is it entirely about looks). I think you need to look at this differently. My character lives on a medieval world, and is a female knight, she is looking for marriage and is trying to look more attractive for potential candidates without losing too much protection. So while a female knight probably wouldn't have exposed cleavage or molded breasts, it is likely that the bustier of them would have armour that showed a distinct rise over the chest area. The armour in the picture above was designed to addresses some complaints of female UK Police Officers, as it apparently holds things in place without applying to much pressure. Some modern body armours are specifically designed for women and while they do not have great drops for cleavage or molded breasts, they do show an actual rise over the chest. In regards to armour that is specifically designed for women's chests, this is a more recent consideration. ![]() The gathering at the waist was very common for men's armour, but probably more exaggerated for Joan's. No known images exist from her lifetime, but one depiction (drawn from written accounts) shows the armour as very similar to armour worn by men, albeit slightly smaller and gathered at the waist. One exception is Joan of Arc who had a suit of plate armour specially built for her. Most known accounts of women in medieval era war have them wearing armour designed for men. My character lives in a medieval world, and is a female knight, she is looking for marriage and is trying to look more attractive for potential candidates without losing too much protection.ĮDIT:Thanks for all the answers, they helped a lot, first let me clarify some things, the objective of the question is not to create a sexist character to appeal for male fantasia, I am trying to avoid it, changing the character to meet the beauty criteria of the time is not a good idea, she is looking for in the world éléments to make herself more appealing, putting breast on armor might not be effective form of male attraction for the time(and probably will not) and will have in world consequences, physically and morally, with which some of the answers here have also helped a lot. ![]() Like materials(fictional or not), design(without changing the "breast room" completely). ![]() What can be changed to make "breast armor" more effective? It is known that armor with accentuated design for breast is a bad choice in an actual confrontation. ![]()
