I'm not sure i understood what you are about to do with the pteryges.
I had though a lot about that curve in the belly and if it represented a real characteristic. After lookind at many vases and sculptures though i noticed that there is a flare depicted not only on frontal views but also side views. For example see Achilles' side. The pteryges form a curve, although Patroclus' pteryges also form a curve,even if it's in the belly area. I have come to believe that the only thing that actually existed was a space between the pteryges and the lower hem of the body. Like you have noticed too. But that part had to have the same lenght all around,and the flaring is just an artistic illusion.
Christian also tried to represent this,and i think he will now say that he's not happy with the result.
