On measurements, probably.  I don't know about hips - they're usually measured in circumference rather than width.

I'm 5'9", 150 pounds.  I have fairly large hands but smaller than a woman I know who is 5 inches shorter than me.  I also have a GG friend who is at least 6'1", has a body blockier than mine, wears a buzz cut, and is generally recognized as female (which she is). 

I don't think measurements have much to do with it.  It's your presentation - atttiude and total look.

(And that's my thinking on this.  I'm sure there are many on this site who will disagree. ::))

I think its all about how you look and your attitude. If you are comfortable with yourself then the clothes and makeup will maketh the woman.

Feet seems a tiny bit on the big side. Height looks good, not too tall not too short.
