Does anyone know if there are tables that show for the average man and woman, ratios of lenght of body parts, relative to height? For example, average length heel to knee-xx%, % knee to groin, %torso, %hip to waist, %waist to shoulder, etc.

I would expect that medical examiners or forensic anthropoligists would have such info

Interesting,

I'd be into finding this out as well.

I will post it when and if I find it. I suspect it was a site that sold womens clothes designed and made for men. To fit properly they do have to be made differently.
Mens proportions are different ie hips to waist to bust to sholder.

So finding a store that makes womens clothes fitted for men is better.

We had an artist give some ratios in a thread about where the bottom of the breast forms should be on the torso to look natural (based on the height of a person's head).

I am not sure if the description went down the whole body.
