Ah, yes, the "Barbie proportion" problem. I think it worth noting that most "well endowed" women display said asset in the dorsal/ventral line; men tend to be "large up top" in the lateral dimension with shoulders that are noticeably wider than those of the typical female form for any given height, and there's also the (typically desireable) male feature of a "barrel chest" that the ladies just don't usually have.JohnH wrote:There are any number of well endowed women that Carl might say look unbalanced with a short skirt and heels.
I suspect we're comparing apples to oranges here. Quite honestly, I feel that I would make for one appalling "woman"; I am simply built wrong for the task, and to try to shoehorn myself into that mould for the sake of looking better in a skirt or dress would do nothing but make me look absurd. It is for this reason that I strive to detach the notion of "femininity" from the garment in question and try to make it "work" on my particular frame. Everybody else's mileage will, of necessity, vary. This does not mean that one should not experiment to find what looks good on one's self.
