With the width of interior doorways shifting to  accommodate the hoop skirt 
era and back again, for example, I now find it hard  not to see the new fat 
Victoriana styles resembling the notoriously wide  people they are being built 
for.   Not a corset in  sight!



I will agree that window and door proportions lack the grace  and charm they 
used to, but am more inclined to think this is more a  function of the ADA and 
the need to deliver refrigerators, and  less  that people are blubberbutts.
