    While I dont think that that would be the soultion to at least my "problem" with "to much leg" when putting my FemRoe in a (Serah-like) miniskirt, it doesnt matter much, because they infact didnt widened the hips of those races, thus leaving them with "odd" proportions - something that I personally actually think is kinda cool to some degree since it gives a bit more uniqueness to those races instead of just making them taller humans with different skin-options. Its a subtle difference, but its a difference.
    However, this difference means that certain clothes fit certain races better - just like irl: certain body-types are better suited for certain types of clothes.

    An outfit like Serahs here - or a lot of other cute outfits - are cut in a way that doesnt look very flattering on taller, slender or bulkies races - at least not to me. It has little to do with people playing FemRoes not wanting to make their characters look "pretty" and more to do with the clothes they can actually use to achieve that.
    My scholar is currently wearing the Socialite's Cheongsam and doesnt look just pretty but stunning - because its a type of outfit thats flattering her figure.
    Miniskirts... are not.

    That doesnt mean that I mind seeing outfits added that dont fit my character, thats totally fine and not my point! There are other outfits that look better on the tall races - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. My point here is that there is little use in pretending that this isnt the case. And thinking about how the races would need to be changed to fit certain outfits seems like the wrong approach to me, since its partially taking away what makes those races unique and gives them this slight vibe of something being just a little "off" aka not-human. (If I wanted to play a human with human proportions, I would have made a hyur, not a FemRoe - I accept that certain outfits wont fit my character aswell as they could because of those slightly weird proportions, so I'm not wearing them - even if I like making my character pretty)

    This. I started my Roegadyn alt with the intent of making her "pretty" - and promptly discovered that it was really hard to find nice dresses that don't look awkward on her. I've slowly found things over time, but it takes a lot more searching than it does for my Midlander. (Not that I like miniskirts on her, either.)

    I found that anything that has at least knee-length works very well on Roes (might just be personal taste, though) - so there are quite a few dresses aswell as several skirts that can be combined with tops to create some really pretty outfits. Knee length boots look particularly amazing on Roes aswell!
    I always felt like Roes look more "beautiful" (as in: elegant) than "pretty" (as in: cute) - but they are more tricky than other races, thats true. To me that only makes it feel more "rewarding" when putting together a really stunning outfit - my partners Mi'qo can basically just wear anything and it looks at least good. But at the same time it seems more difficult to put his cat in something that makes her look really special and highlights her unique features - while my Roe often doesnt look to great in certain outfits but in turn gets to look really amazing once I found something that really fits her.
