No, I think it is the anatomy, not the clothing - possibly to do with how weight is distributed around the body rather than gender. There is a difference between men's dancing and boys' dancing, for example. And although I danced North West for years I never considered dancing Cotswold, because even in trousers it wouldn't have looked right for someone of my build....
