Quote - There are indeed "statistical averages", otherwise we all would have to wear custom tailored clothes.

Not really, clothes do not conform to the body, or the material is designed to be loose fitting or stretches (or a combination of both)

Ask any woman about getting a bra to actually fit right even with all the adjustable bands, straps, cups, etc... and most will tell you that is like finding a perfect man... only in dreams and fairytales!

So the best way to achive a convincing result is to slavishly copy an actual human without "adding" or "sanitizing" things here and there.

Personally, I would like to see this, if only at as a test. This also would be the best way to determine the best way to design a mesh for rigging, best way to texture, etc... It could lead to improvement of all figure designing and development.
