I will say that fit is not exclusive to gender. People of every gender have to be mindful of body shape. I've seen people of all genders wear things that may not be as suited to their body shape, especially if they are pear-shaped, have a very long torso, very short legs, etc.
Jack is long and lean, but I don't consider (and neither does she) her shape to be "typically male". She's a woman and her body is just long and lean.
We've had very good luck with certain brands fitting her body shape better than others. One of the coolest things is that we found that the "George" brand from Wal-Mart actually makes a nice suit pant that fits her almost perfectly. Other brands that we've found that fit her well are Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss. I think these brands have a lot of options with very slim cuts and these seem to suit her shape very well!
WEE!

Great!!! I did buy Bully a Calvin Klein polo shirt a few months back that fit perfectly. I'll have to check out the other ones you listed.
I agree of course that everyone has "fit" issues. No matter the gender, that's a given. Since i'm new to buying men's clothes for Bully, there are certainly different challenges than what i have been used to. They are made to fit men. Someone should come out with a butch line of clothes, if they haven't already. Lengths, including arm length, shoulder width, tightness around the chest, etc has been a real learning experience for me.
I will definitely check out those brands you listed. As a matter of fact today is a shopping day!! Hooray!!!
Thanks for the tip!!!
