The worst example of body distortion that I've seen on a shop model was similar to this. Huge shoulders and head, small waist, but also these really really short legs. The result was a Quasimodo wannabe displaying what might have been decent clothes, but I wasn't about to spend L$ to confirm that there was a fit. And to cap it all, the shape itself was for sale!
Women's shapes tend to be of better quality, but the faces may be problematic. With clothes, that's not so much an issue, but selling skins with an ugly face has got to be a losing proposition. One skin shop in particular (haven't been back, so I don't know if it's even still in business) used a model who had next to no chin, and what there was of it was severely receding. wtf? If this was the base shape for the designer's shading, I can't imagine how it would look on anyone with a chin.
I'll never know because I took one look at that face and fled. That choice made me distrust the designer's aesthetic sense and I didn't even bother getting a demo.
