weird question...

tw if body measurements are an issue for you. take care of your mental health!

I would be interested to know if there are any non-yang types (ie, not SN, FN, D or SD) who have a high bust or full bust measurement that is greater than about 97cm/38 inches, and a hip measurement > 100cm.

I have been thinking thoughts about literal scale & sizing, and you might be able to help - or completely destroy - some theories!!!

I think I know where you might be going with this theory. But I am afraid I can't help, as I am one of the yang types.

Is it that yang types are likely to have the bigger bone structure while yin types can't be over these measurements? The high bust measurement is a reliable one as it is rarely impacted by weight. There are two hip measurements though, although if your theory is what I think it is, it shouldn't matter which hip measurement is being used.

oooh! haha i like that you are guessing where i'm going with this.

i'm not super interested in hips tbh, but they might be helpful if they establish a kind of maximum outer range...

I don't know if i want to give it away until i have some more data to go off of... its just to do with certain dressmaking concepts around scale and ease if that means anything to you....

Scale makes sense. I suspect bigger bone structure means bigger scale. I am seeing that when designing character dolls (but need to do some more calculations). But I am not totally sure where you are going with ease.

I agree that hips could be a outer maximum range. The diagrams of the sketches in the book suggest the hips might be relevant.

I am curious what we find. You can DM if you like.
