If one is not slim, petite and boyish one should simply NOT CHOOSE GAMINE as their style! There is no need to try to change the gamine look in order to fit a different body type. And there is nothing particularly mischievous and boyish about a trench coat. PS--not all Americans are big--have you been to New York? There are many slim women there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-23997343952721407642012-01-07T00:05:55.745-05:002012-01-07T00:05:55.745-05:00Britta,

It's the look that by all accounts appeals most to men, or at least to the most men, and that's best for buying clothes in this era of mass-production.

I'm not complaining, but more wondering about terminology. If someone is too curvy to be gamine, too slim to be "curvy" or "athletic," too short to be "statuesque" and too tall to be "petite," is there a term for that?Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224221011978374915noreply@blogger.com
