Curvy girls who lost weight

I know exactly what you mean!
I've been curvy all my life, from 107 to 167.
I have a shapely butt, big boobs, and a thin waist.
Nothing ever looks right on me especially all the trends now which are loose shirts and oversized sweaters.
So I decided to go with what works for me.
Luckily skinny jeans make me look great, but everything else thats popular and trendy looks wrong.
Thats why I found it very refreshing to go for 50's and 40's inspired clothes. Everything fits like a dream!
A pin-up style looks great on an hourglass shape and looks so cute and put together.

I was hoping the same thing. I was like Yay clothes will look better on me... but honestly I still can't wear a loose fitting flowy shirt and make it look nice without a belt, I still have to accentuate my waist if I'm not wearing something form fitting, and I still can't find jeans that fit thighs, hips AND waist. I fit into a smaller size, but I'm essentially the same shape.

Like I always tell my little sister, You gotta dress for your shape not for your size, and you'll always look nice.

Curious if after your loss, if clothing trends worked better on you or if they were still awkward. I know fashion seems to favor the less curvey, but honestly I want to able to sport some of the trends ... but not all look good on my current curves.

So, speaking in terms of measurement and structure curves, not fat, when you lost weight did that help any? Or am I wishful hoping?

i'm still only half way to my goal but now i'm a more "normal" size 12. before i was a 20/22 and i had a hard time finding stuff that fit well.

my current avatar is me in skinny jeans. they didnt look right on me at size 22, but at a size 12 they look great. my overall body shape hasnt changed, so the difference must be in the cut of the pants.

in general you should always find stuff that works for your body regardless if it's a trend. you can always trendy up a more classic piece via accessories. what i'm finding is that as i lose weight i look more and more like an hourglass (waist is getting smaller, boobs are staying the same size and squats and deadlifts are giving me a round and high booty).

i love wearing dresses, but a lot of the modern dresses seem to be geared for ruler or apple shapes, but i'm finding that vintage style dresses are working best. pin up style stuff i look fantastic in as well. a lot of current dresses are boxy shaped or empire waists. i look bad in those type dresses so i usually go for wrap, sheath or a line.

another issue i have is that i have a short waist, so there's 3" of space between the bottom of my ribcage and the start of my hip bone. combine that with having large breasts, i can very easily look much larger than i actually am if i'm wearing the wrong thing.

I'm 36-27-36, 30G and wear a UK12. I find most clothes are designed for straight-up-and-down bodies and don't suit me. Losing weight hasn't made any difference.

I may be a guy, but I know one of my athletic, curvy female friends buys a lot of her jeans from Dorinha, a Canadian company founded by a Brazilian woman. She basically has the same shapely body as Jaime Koeppe, the model on the right. If their jeans can fit her curves, it may be worth checking into for yourself.

Curvy girl here!! Since losing weight I find that everything fits like it is supposed to from bras and panties to jeans and shoes!!! Shopping is so fun these days!! I used to always want to wear the latest trends and never could. There is hope!! Shopping becomes an all new activity!!

My fave jeans are Amethyst Jeans. They are damn cute and are very inexpensive!!

exactly those measurments with a huge 40 *kitten*, which has been always there unfortunately, so I think I would fit into this category? I just solve the problem by wearing what looks good, and staying well away from fashion.... Most of it is terrible anyway :P
