One scarf or veil and helm and an arbitrary number of hoods per head.

One glove or mitten and one gauntlet per hand.

One robe or two tunics/dresses/coats/shirts/togas and one mail shirt and one breastplate and an arbitrary number of cloaks per upper body.

One pair of trousers or a few skirts/loincloths and one pair of greaves per lower body.

One sock or chausse and boot per foot.

An arbitrary number of weapons and shields per hand apparently.

I've always assigned specific armor pieces though, takes a bit longer but they wear exactly the right stuff, though I don't specify socks, I just put two socks and they wear them properly.

... To figure out a dwarf's gender, one must ask...

Not true! Female dwarves don't have beards. Unless you mod them to, which a lot of people do, but by default they do not.
And I'm pretty sure male dwarves have a full beard straight out of the womb, or at least at the age of 1. So you can't confuse female dwarves with large "children."

As far as clothes and armor. I set replace, they can be naked. Masterwork armor can't chafe. If they get any clothing, its a cloak and a hood, and that's only if I bother.

Dwarven clothing is weird. My Guard Captain is currently wearing 6 dresses at once. At least he's showing the other dwarves that they don't have to conform to stereotypes...

[CASTE:FEMALE]
      The gender tag lets it know how breeding works.
      [FEMALE]
      [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
      To add beards, put square brackets around the following:
      BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS
[CASTE:MALE]
      [MALE]
      [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS]
Your game isn't vanilla. This is taken from vanilla raws.

That's a long, persistent, and very unfortunate typo.

Yes, the typo includes the mysterious instruction text, and both missing brackets.

I think its safe to say, Toady doesn't fantasize about hairy dwarven women...
Or, this is exactly as you describe, and he does exactly that. Pick the world you want to live in.

I understand a bit too much about how a dorf is put together, and lemme say that anyone fantasizing about the absurdly prehensile mass of fingers and limbs which we know as a dwarf frightens me terribly, beard or not.

I was going for what the mass of body parts was supposed to represent. However, I believe your interpretation of the raws wins.

[Max™]

They can wrestle and grab hold of your back teeth with the toes on their right foot, your left arm with their right knee, your left toes with one set of teeth, and your front teeth with another.

When they have body parts severed those body parts "lose hold" of equipped items.

Only a single dorf can stand in a given spot, but an arbitrary number of them can lie there.

If you have an unconscious foe a dorf can grab their facial features or limbs and pinch them hard enough send them flying through the air.

Terrifying things really.

[Putnam]

hey now

limbs of most creatures can't be pinched off by dwarves or really any creature of reasonable relative size

[Max™]

When they're on the ground you would be surprised, yeah it's easier to pinch off fingers and such but I've delimbed elves and gobs by pinching, never did manage to shake a dragon by the guts and carry them in my teeth though.

[neblime]

to answer the chafing question I can only assume that they are covered in manly dwarf body hair all over?

[Max™]

...and just like that they became more unsettling than before.
