That's fine with me. Even 2/3 size can be quite overwhelming to the victim.
Well, I like size difference in general, and at some point in fact I had envisioned making a "normal" series in a world where women would be significantly smaller and weaker than in our world (but not to the point of shrunken women). I had done this. The first panel shows normal size differences. In the second, women are 10% smaller than normal, in the third 20% smaller. Each panel shows normal size variations within this range. The woman on the right is at the limit of the 10% tallest (based on actual real world variations), the woman in the middle is average, the woman on the left at the limit of the 10% shortest. So, I envisioned making women the size of the second (probably) or third (possibly) panel.

Two things stopped me.
First, I think that the wide majority of people not into size difference would seriously dislike women so small. Especially since in fantasy, comics, games, etc...Women are at the contrary most often depicted taller than normal, more or less the same size as men. But, well, if I liked it, too bad if many others didn't.
The second issue was more of a problem and in fact prevented me from going along with the idea. In the current climate, with this size ranges, a lot of people unaware of the concept (and probably even if aware of the concept) would immediately assume that it depicts young teens or even children (once, again especially since people aren't even accustomed to see normally sized female characters, shorter than the male characters, like in my first panel above), unless I'd make abundantly clear in the depiction that they aren't : mandatory big tits and big hips, makeup, no freckles, no cute faces, no expression or pose that could look childish, etc... That would have been too restrictive for my taste, and so I renounced.
