    Whether thick or thin, women have curves.

    Nothing wrong with that, but I have never seen anyone say "eewwwww" t a curvy woman so I guess I'm missing the point of the thread.


    Do you hang out in all the forums or see the posts on FB? There was a post saying curvy women need love too or something like that and there were over 200 comments about how only women like Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian are curvy and everyone else is just overweight and lying to themselves.

    I think weight loss can change some curves. I use to be considered curvy, but after losing about 8'' off my butt. Not much of a curve there anymore.

    This was me about 35 lbs ago.

    I consider myself "reverse curvy". My waist curves OUT instead of curving IN.

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

    You can be plus-sized and curvy and you can be underweight and curvy.

    The problem is when "curvy" becomes a euphamism for "overweight." They're two separate things.
    If you think that's actually a "problem" then I'd say you might want to consider the meaning of the word a bit more closely.
    Who cares what a person looks like or weighs, if they feel better calling themselves curvy, what does it matter?
    Well, it makes it very difficult to describe one's body shape when one is an hourglass or pear and not overweight without anyone who can't see you thinking you are saying you are overweight.

    Body shape and body size are not the same thing.

    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.

    Oh hey I just read that... 288lbs?? I'm very surprised, you look great. I've always said weight is just a number... a fine woman is a fine woman.

    Thanks! I always say my height saves me. Being 5'11, the fat has a lot of places to go. lolol

    Lol, if you were shorter you would probably weigh less too. Seriously though at the end of the day, neither I nor any of my friends or any man I've even just spoken to has ever said "damn she looks good but... what do you think the scale says?"

    I am 5'11 too and in the same range you are in and feel sexy and consider myself "curvy" too-Plus size doesn't mean the same shape on all women. I have an hour glass, big boobs, big hips and a smaller waist! Great post! :)

    I'll never be a real woman!



    The truth is, real women come in a variety of shapes!! How is this kind of comment any less of body shaming (in this case, against thin women or those who have a much straighter figure) than the OPs original complaint, the comment that "Plus size girls don't have curves" ...

    Well I would say that it is a problem, because it makes the woman calling herself "curvy" look kinda dumb. I'm a short man who recently started working out... I might have some musculature so far, but you don't see me walking around referring to myself as "corn-fed". That is reserved for men who have a much better build, and probably more height!

    If I did that, it would make me look kinda pathetic, right? If an overweight girl without curves did the same, it would make her look sad. And all of this is important, because I don't think that's what she's going for...

    None of this is to pass judgement about curves vs. no curves however, and like that one poster said, the vast majority of women DO have curves, though their bodyfat % may not support it at the moment.

    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).

    There isn't anything wrong with not being curvy. It's beautiful to be healthy and fit whether that means you're curvy, straight, thick, thin, bottom heavy, top heavy, or hourglass shaped.

    *Fit does not equal thin.

    You look incredible! Celebrate your curves! Psh. Those people that said that are jerks.

    I'm 46 bust/40 waist/47 hips -- Almost a perfect hourglass. And I'm 5'6" and 249 pounds (as of my last measurements). I've always liked the fact that I'm curvy. I have a waist that goes in -- a la curve.

    Mean people need to get lives though. For seriously.
