Just so the frequency of me telling you make your characters weigh more, please reference the sites below (as I will be using it) to make sure your characters have believable dimensions.
On the chart it has three separate ranges per height (small frame, medium frame, large frame). The way I have interpreted it is:- Small = petite, skinny, minimal body fat
- Medium = average, healthy, some muscle toning
- Large = curvy, busty, 'big boned'
This is, of course, all relative to height and there is overlapping. If you are unsure about how to describe your character's height/weight/build, please pm me and I will gladly help you!
On a similar note, please take into consideration that anyone who is NOT POOR should have meat on their bones. At this time period, being skinny is considered an unattractive trait because skinny equals not enough food, which equals poor. I have been lenient in this manner because it is AU, but skinny equals beautiful is a RECENT western cultural standard.
