You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

Every RPG group I have ever been with has used either a magic item or spell to make change purely for cosmetic reasons. This is true regardless of gender and how power gaming the group is. The Cloak of Billowing is a 5e item favorite and is usually requested at item creation or in the first magic shop. I do want to get Mask of Many Faces just for fancy dress on my next character now.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the 'useless magic item' and try to get one to each of my players. Lots of them are cosmetic: helmets with glowing eyes, cloak of billowing, squeaky shoes. Sometimes they're just weird, like the wand of create wand which is a one-charge wand that crumbles to dust after being used to make a wand of create wand

That's the kind of thinking that DND is all about. Time to fake the entire party being disintegrated for some reason with these dust piles

Everyone loves them. They are fun to build and fun to use. I gave a ring of invisibility that can turn the ring invisible only. Great fun
