Ashley's armor in ME3 looked retarded. Full of concavities pointing towards her ribcage that will break her bones the moment she takes a hit.
Best female chestplate in the game: Hahne-Kedar. Awesome looking and no deadly form fitting edges for the sake of boners.
Completely agree with this. Ash's armour is just for the LI curves.
A major reason why FemShep is popular is because the armour she wears is suitable compared to most other games out there. So yeah really awesome there is no skin.
As for N7 armour. I agree with Tirigon, that set is pretty sexy.

It retains a decent sense of protection while still being aesthetically flattering to her curves and female form. Yeah having a breast plate still isn't practical. But I can let it slide on the fact it still looks good and isn't totally ridiculous like Ash's variant is. The N7 armour is there to look good and still look baddass. It pulls it off really well in my opinion

As for the original question. I think this was inevitable. I mean MaleShep got a Leather Jacket and Femshep got a retexture of Diane Allers Dress. Armours are taylored for the male protagonist first. But hey, at least they went about some tweaking to make sure things dont look really silly.
