I am sure some women did.
It was too costly for a smith who works mainly on men to learn adn experiment making a female specific armor.
After all the battlefield where the men were needed the armor the most.
You don't actually know what you are talking about do you.
I find that insulting.
Let me help you then, plate armour was 'custom made', ie, made for the person who ordered it. And only the very rich could afford it.
It wasn't pulled 'off the shelf' down at the local smithy as a one size fits all.
So women wearing plate would have had it custom made for them. Because they were wealthy. Got it now...
Perhaps you also need to go look at some real medieval armour and imagine how it possibly could be modified to feature 'boobage'. Try the Milanese Harness for example.
So again, do you actually know what you are talking about ?
