  Comments:
I think "perhaps not much, but some" is an awkward-sounding gloss.
"in any way" was for contexts like "If I could help in any way ..." but I'm fine with dropping it. It's potentially misleading.

「目の前にいるのは、男装の麗人。男とみまがうにはあまりに麗しすぎる。さらに、多少なりともある胸のふくらみ、触りがいありそうなヒップラインが、彼女が女であることを示している。」

"in any way" seems wrong or too context dependent?
