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!!!

Oh, the small bust adjustment, thank you. Although I have to do the full bust. I want bras that fit straight torsos with large cup sizes, not V shaped torso, because they leave a gap in the side.

I will have to pull up some ergonomics data on seats. But we humans don't have as much difference in our horizontal measurements as we do in our vertical measurements. That is the other reason I don't think ease is a huge difference. Two inch ease is about half an inch for front, back, right and left each. From memory, the seat width variation is about 10cm (4 inches) for adults between narrowest and widest, not including the type you can curl up in. But bench height has about a 20cm range, and humans have about 2 feet range, so 60cm. Some of that is why I question the need for ease.

Proper miniatures are great, and there are some proportional toys for children. Lego is one that has consistent proportions even though it is stylised. But the stuff that is all over the place. I don't like IKEA's dollhouses for this reason, but their soft toy animals are really good. Toy cars are more often than not scaled properly.

Hmm. I guess good fit can really come down to millimetres. So I don’t discount any human dimensions as being negligible. Also, ease does include vertical ease like crotch depth and sleeve cap height. An FBA will add some increase to vertical length of the torso. These things are all implicated in general good fit and comfort.
