The following list contains all tags related to body sizing. Each tag has an X, Y, and Z component which controls the size of its designated body part. The default, unaltered size is 1.0. Use of these tags requires some experimentation, but there are some more detailed directions in the "
How to make bigger boobs" thread.

<jewelry> : This controls the currently available (as of August 2010) set of character jewelry. More refined jewelry controls are on the way but this set was designed for the release of Kendra. It can also be used with any of the other female characters. Put each jewelry item you wish to use in a comma separated list inside this tag. Options are:
ball_bridge, ball_ear_L, ball_ear_R, ball_lowerlip_L, ball_lowerlip_R, ball_nose_L, ball_nose_R, ball_nose_septum, black_bracelets_L, black_bracelets_R, clitring_1, earring_L, earring_R, nippleball_L, nippleball_R, nosering_L, nosering_R, nosering_septum.* for flat chested body types, it looks best if you make a "body" skin texture
without the underboob shading. Using an existing texture is ok but not ideal for this body type.
