Eh. If you've got a lot up top, squashing down into something flat made for a guy *isn't* going to be comfortable. Or practical. Yes, I know from experience, and I'm not particularly... blessed, in that department.

But yeah, there's tailoring around existing curves, and then there's florid exaggeration...

Just having armor rounded out more on the top so you don't have to squish isn't bad. I can't tell for sure by the picture, but the yellow one at least seems to have armor that delineates each breast, and that is awful and completely defeats the purpose of armor. It is making a stress/hit point just above her heart which is pretty much the absolute worst spot to be hit with a blunt object. That armor is worse than useless, yet so many female characters get put in it.

Is it armor or flamboyant costuming for people who pilot giant robots? I think the latter might have a different styling needs from the former.

Not particularly busty here either and 100% this. I've cosplayed characters with armor before and the only way to make it not extremely uncomfortable is to bind, which is hardly a practical thing to be doing all the time.

I've worn armor that I borrowed from my boyfriend, and my great (42D) tracts of land weren't squished. Boob-wise, the it was actually more comfortable than an underwire, and I wear those for work every day.

Well, it might be uncomfortable but if we're talking classic plate armour, even the standard version breasts plate was always rounded, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem, I guess. And boob armour is not practical at all, it's actually a liability because the logic behind the rounded breasts plate was that it made weapons glance off better. You put visible boobs on that and this effect gets killed (along with the wearer, potentially).

Comfortable or not, physics wins on this. You will crush your chest if you fall forward while wearing hundreds of pounds worth of boob armor, because the force is applied only to two points. Distributing it across the entire chest actually makes it work like armor, instead of a disaster waiting to happen.
