FREE: Proportionate Woman in Standard Sizes

As of December 2014, this item is now a Freebie both here and inworld.
Doing this to help promote more proportionate shapes. Especially for new users
*******

All 5 standard sizes included: Large, Medium, Small, Extra Small, Extra Extra Small.

This is meant to be a series of modifiable shapes to help with getting a naturally proportionate adult woman's avatar, which can be used with mesh clothing built for the popular 'standard sizes:

The shapes began by making a proportionate 5'5" tall woman using this guide:

The adjustments for standard sizes were then added in for:
Body Fat, Torso Muscle, Breast Size, Love Handles, Belly Size, Leg Muscle, Butt Size, and Saddle Bags.

Using this shape will allow your avatar to perform motion capture dances and animations much more smoothly, as the proportions fall within the realm of actual human possibility. You will be closer to the real world dancer used to create those motions, as well as closer to where the joints of the Second Life female mesh are intended to bend and morph with movement.

I do recommend that the first thing you do upon applying this shape is go into edit appearance and make some slight facial adjustments so you can be sure to be your own unique self. Save that new altered appearance under a different name so you can have a backup (and in case you alter it before reading this, the package comes with a backup copy).

If you're an advanced user, or already have a face on a shape you like, you can copy the settings for your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and chin into one of these shapes to keep a look that is you.

For head settings, you can copy in your settings on face shear, forehead angle, brow size, upper cheeks, lower cheeks, and cheek bones - and this will not alter your proportions.

I recommend not adjusting hand size. But foot size can be altered when wearing shoes.

Bear in mind that for many mesh items you will also have to regularly adjust bosom buoyancy and cleavage as well - which is fitting with reality after all. :) As a result the standard sizes of mesh items do not always take those two settings into account.
