    Real women have curves. Or they don't.

    Haters, Ms. Tattoo. The flat butt, flat chested girls are just jealous, LOL. Nobody want a bone, but a dog. Keep your head up, and thanks for the shout out to us Curvy Girls :).

    Hey Marylin Monroe was a large size 16 (US 14) and her curves were awesome!

    &^%$%^&

    NO! NO! NO!

    http://www.vintageswank.com/sizing.html


    This is a size chart from a vintage retailer. In clothing made pre-1970s a size 12 had a 25 inch waist. If Marylin was a 14 then her measurements were somewhere in the ballpark of 32-26-35. Very small. This is not to say anything about anyone's size, as REAL WOMEN come in all sizes.(as others have said) However, it is not accurate to compare vintage sizes to current day sizes.


    This ^^ "Vanity sizing" started at least 25 years ago.


    Funny anecdote … Growing up, almost all of my dresses were sewn for me by my grandmother (she was an expert seamstress, these were better than most store-bought stuff). Pattern printers still use the old, "vintage" sizing for their clothes, so at 13 years old or so I was about size 12 or 14 in patterns.

    I signed up to do a church activity where the teens were helping model wedding dresses that had been worn by older congregation members ("older" to a teen … so probably in their 30's; those who still could wear their dresses did). I can just imagine the youth leaders looking at my sign up and wondering how on earth I was listing my size at 14 (since, yes, by modern standards I would have been about a 6).

    I had a couple of "prairie skirts" that I wore back in the late 70s. I believe they were size 9 or 11. Possibly a 13. I was about 135 lbs back then. I gave them to my daughter, who at 5' 1/2" tall and 105 pounds wearing about a size 1 petite, is a far cry from what I was then, and they fit her nearly perfectly (except length since I'm 7" taller than she is).

    Sigh... wish I could call myself "curvy" - I'm pretty much straight up and down. But I'm working on it. :)

    REAL women do not all come in the same shape. And any shape can be attractive. I see petite women here with gentle curves that are sexy (Adini, supah, stacy, etc), curvier women that are sexy (CatrinaH, rachelj, glutesandabs, etc) and more. Different body shapes are a good thing.

    Is 288 a typo? From that shot I would guess you are much closer to 200. Super cute picture!


    I couldn't agree more! You look way less! ;)

    Although I disagree. Because transsexuals can have surgeries to have the right exterior parts, but they never have the hip sway we women have. Curvy or not.

    why do you hate transsexuals?

    Though its nice to see us big girls with confidence don't kid yourself by putting down someone else. It's freaking obvious that men love thin women. You are being ridiculous.

    I realise that you are trying to support the OP, but what you said is horrible. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    I love a confident woman. Heck, I encourage women to be confident, but not by way of putting down other women.

    i see how you didn't mention me, timbo. once again, you've given me the shaft (see what i did there?)

    OP: you are beautiful. all women on MFP, big/small/tall/short/wide/narrow/fit/shmooshy, are beautiful! no body shaming! blech!

    eta: my curves:

    Actually men are not Dogs therefore you cannot compair them as such. REAL Women and men respect one another.

    When I was heavier I didn't think I had any curves. That was around 236. I am now 188 and I think I have curves and I am liking them. :) I do think everyone is sexy. No matter what body type they have :D
