So its 0-2 in the male female glamour department, yay?

Well, if it's so difficult to adjust a piece of gear from a female model to a male model, it sounds to me that the obvious solution would be to create the original models for everything, even frilly dresses, on a male model and then adjust it to fit females. If they're doing things female > male when male > female is supposedly much simpler, they're setting themselves up to fail, aren't they?

I'm really curious whether or not there are any females working with the costume design team, and whether anyone's ever thought to ask them or other ladies around the office what THEY'D find cute or sexy or attractive for males to wear. I doubt the answer to either of those questions is 'yes', though, because even the 'sexy' male gear we do have is often lacking in some way (Colosseum loincloth, I'm looking at you and your weirdly long shorts.), and there are countless little things that just prove they're not considering male characters at all when designing gear (like the way Male Miqo'te tails clip an inch to the left of the tail-hole in every single piece of gear they bothered to put a tail-hole in).
