    Yeah, it's the same problem as Quaintrelle's Ruffled Skirt, it doesn't display the skirt with 99% of body gear. I assume body gear is only ever flagged as "long" or "short" and if it's long then we get the reduced version of the leg gear instead of the normal one. And for whatever reason things like the Hannish Wool Autumn Shirt and Scorpion Harness are "long". It would probably make more sense to have "tucked in" versions of the body gear for those shorter pieces, but that would probably be a lot of work to go through all the gear and re-flag everything as tuckable or not. The Survival Shirt and Extreme Survival Shirt make me wonder if they had planned for some sort of shirt-shrinking instead of pants-destroying method at some point but scrapped it and just made two different pieces of gear.

    The male version of the Hannish shirt is longer than the female one - it's a pretty disappointing piece really. It looks like a formal shirt that should be tucked in, maybe with a vest over it to match the corset section of the female version, but the modeller was give a picture of the shirt on its own and didn't understand how it should be worn.
