Title of the section I'm working on now

The title of the section I'm working on now in an article in Swedish about changing body ideals in the end of the Middle ages/beginning of the early modern period: "Bigger breasts, broader hips and prominent penises".

A forties summer dress

It's not the most flattering dress I've made (too boxy), but at least it's typical of the simple summer dresses people made - I must have at least fifty images of sewing patterns from the 40s showing varieties of this kind of dress, with cap sleeves, or rather no sleeves, and stripes. I guess it wasn't that flattering back then either, though undoubtedly it helped if you had a narrower waist than I have.
I will wear it in any case, since the colours suit me and it's comfortable. And because it has been fighting me all the way through the construction and I won't let it win.
