My shoulders are broad enough that I'd probably look like a peasant masquerading as a lady ;o) (Gotta love family genetics! <g>) In an Elizabethan or Tudor style, though, I get excellent contrast between bust and waist--might need a bumroll or padded cartridge pleats in the skirt, though, as I'm more tummy than behind. --Sue in Montana, where we got snow last night
I have the same problem--broad shoulders, big ribcage, big upper arms, and short, sturdy legs. Even at 102 pounds, my arms and legs were not delicate little things.
I just figure I came from peasant stock, and I'm built to get out in the fields and WORK!
