As someone who does work with making clothes, let me guess:
So many people demanded so many different things, on such short notice and to such varying shapes and sizes that the seamstress, who had magic, just got pissed off. Lol
No, an exceptionally narrow distribution in human size is not “luck”. Something is indeed amiss, and I’m looking forward to finding out what it is.
I’d be interested in knowing just how much variation, proportionally speaking, there is in wild animals. I bet not much, because wild animals are culled, ruthlessly, by the environment, including predators. Only individuals of optimum proportions survive.
So what is culling humans in this case?
Wild animals do tend to look very similar to other individuals of their species.
I remember watching a documentary about an experiment done in eastern Europe where they bred generations of wild mink and over time they bred tamer mink with tamer mink and hostile mink with hostile mink, and while the hostiles remained pretty much the same, the tamer ones began to produce wide variations of patterns in their fur.
It was very interesting as it supported theories that domestication can result in a wide distribution, where there otherwise wouldn’t be. Examples include domestic cats varying in size and shape, while their wild ancestral type (e.g. a wildcat) is much more like a grey tabby.
RBZ:
I have also read that breeding wild animals, selecting only for friendliness to humans, consistently results in the appearance of a blaze, a white stripe down the forehead between the eyes. The domesticated are automatically marked.
And yet we humans ourselves are not so marked. Weird.

Does “the North all the way to the Firelands” represent a broad geographic range? When I first read the phrase, I interpreted “the Firelands” to be part of “the North”, but on re-reading, I’m not so sure.)
Even if she used animals as a source, I still think like she’s jumping to conclusions. It’s not like humans have as many hair colors as cats do. Heck, only white people have a significant variance beyond shades of black and brown. Yet I’ve never stopped to ask why there aren’t any blue-haired humans out there.
I’m thinking it’s more likely she’s heard a bit of lore, and subsequently looked for reasons to justify it. I mean, if you don’t have our world as a reference, her claims become odd.
They’re leaning pretty hard on that fourth wall…*taps on the glass* Hullo fishies!!!
This is going to be a Squirrel plot, isn’t it?
Actually even within the context of this story world and only humans this gender-specific sizing is quite weird, and perhaps related to why mens clothing would weirdly shapeshift when put on Tiff?
Why do men in this world have more than one body type and size but woman are limited in form?
