Have you ever considered a proper chestplate like 1st Ascension Barghest has? Or hell, if not prowed, at least one with an upper and lower glacis that's not got a huge shot trap in the middle?

Kind of hard to make mistakes with that sort of simple armor design.

Or at least wrap your chest with bandages so they become more compact. Btw I wonder if irl female archers have this problem and how they solve it

Using compound bows and adjusting the limb length, changing posture, using a sports bra, etc...

They also sell chest guards for women, though I read that the average ones aren't necessarily comfortable or that good. Likely many are just modified male chest guards, but there are some makers that are supposedly good from small businesses specialized for female archers.

Does the breast expansion tag apply if characters are only discussing the growth? I don't think there's actual BE happening on-screen here - the wardrobe malfunction is just from the bowstring tearing the fabric.

Well, the Amazonians sliced off one of their breast. But IRL, I've heard that there are many stances to accommodate many body shapes. So... ig women just use one of those.

This is absolutely something women who practice archery have to deal with. Almost all of them wore turtle bras, basically a plastic armored shell for their chest, and I only ever saw one do this once. No one ever needed to be reminded of it again. lol.

Far more often though you hit your own wrist when you're new, and that fucking sucks.
