Very well drawn.

But you'd want to wear padding underneath armor.

Also, you really wouldn't want to put a metal wedge on top of your sternum (which is what the form-fitting breastplate amounts to). Any significant hit on it would run the risk of shattering her sternum, resulting in her death.
And you want a steel breastplate to have a globose shape. It makes it better at deflecting hits, but the main pupose of the globose shape is to ensure that your belly still has enough empty space to breathe even if the plate is caved in by a heavy hit.
(This was a bit less of an issue with ancient bronze armor, since bronze is a bit more flexible than steel, but the main reason why they could make do with flatter breastplates is because the high-status people wearing them weren't the ones actually doing much fighting; their armor was mostly there to protect against projectiles, like arrows, javelins, etc.)

Still, plate armor has to be designed and engineered in such a way that it actually protects you instead of harming you, otherwise you're better off with mail and/or a gambeson.
