Chest plates aren’t meant to be flat. They’re meant to be round. The reason is that rounded armor is structurally more stable and it’s easier to get a weapon to deflect off rounded armor than a flat armor. There should be plenty of space for breasts in regular medieval armor without needing any sort of modification.
Having the chest plate fit the breasts actually introduces a point of weakness, since glancing blows will be deflected toward the heart.
I watched a video where someone tried out boob shaped armour- the problem wasn’t the deflecting IIRC, it was that the armour itself came to something like a point against the chest so any impact HURT.
