Preggo Breast Plate shields?


Did they exist or is the movie poster just taking liberties and creative license?

It didn't. It's made up.

That doesn't mean that shaped armors didn't exist. They existed as a whim for wealthy aristocrats. There's quite a few instances of penis armors, for example.

Wealthy females, however, they were not interested in shaped armors. They'd rather buy expensive clothes with bright colors (color pigments were highly demanded and extremely expensive in middle ages). Preggo Breast armors didn't exist for a simple reason: there was no demand.

True, I have never heard of pregnant female soldiers, although they might have existed.
