It's really kind of frustrating going looking up armour and finding it's all for men.
I mean even the helmets were all modelled by men.
I'm reasonably sure women also have heads.

So now I know somewhere that will sell me a titanium plate brigandine
but
only designed for men.

There's a bazillion types. Armour from multiple cultures. Big blokes and small on every notable dimension, though obviously skinny in armour is not very skinny.

There's only a couple of gambesons for women.

and a whole fashion section of medieval clothes.

and some corsets.

I just want to armour plate my boobs
is that too much to ask?

I mean probably they'd end up flatter than binding
but then there should be a section explaining the sizing
for women.



... granted I only started looking because I was flicking through the Pathfinder rulebook and couldn't remember the word brigandine, but, the website doesnt know that
so why is it only trying to sell to half the world?

The trouble with armor cups as I found out is that if you put creases in it, it tends to crack your ribs and your sternum. It's not fun.
Go with the flat stuff. It works well and you just need little padding.
