I don't know. In fantasy settings, women warriors are often portrayed as badasses. Sometimes, for example Red Sonja, this type of armor works with her image and also sells the product. Her "armor" is so skimpy as to be basically worthless, but that's ok because she's an insanely amazing fighter and the world she inhabits is cartoonish. In a more realistic fantasy setting, this might work against the character, particularly if the character is otherwise practically minded.
