"Shields should be like skirts: Long enough to cover everything, but
short enough to keep it interesting."- Unknown knight at Pennsic 37.

heavy enough to have inertia
( as in absorbing the blow )
light enough to move quickly
and not tire your arm out

By that logic:
Buckler = Micro-mini-skirt
single-sword = ?

So would a coffin shield be a Sunday Church Dress?

Nah those 36" rounds with old-fashion 'celtic' knotwork are a good comparison for big round sunday church dresses with old-fashion lace at the sleaves.
A good kite shield is form-fitting and sleak, maybe showing a little bit of leg. Think slinky black ball-room gown with a slice that comes up high enough to tease but you just can't quite see enough... And if you chop off the upper corners itbecomes a strapless because it teases you with the bare shoulder.
Now a heater shield.. that's more for a girl who wears a puffy sweater with shorts. All that bulk up top and a lot exposed below but damn things drop fast when she gets busy.

D Sebation fights with a kite. Now I will forever picture him in a little black strapless dress when I am fighting him.

Better then him fighting with a domed round. A lot of plesantly mounding shape, look great from the front, but no substance on the inside... the push-up bra of the shield world.

My mind has gone to an
odd place today.

I actually do picture him in hot pink underwear when I fight him.
