defining curvy......is like trying to nail jelly to a wall....

years ago in the age of the movie star, the embodiment of a curvy woman was the hourglass figure...

think of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Russell in their prime

Marilyn certainly had curves with her 36-23-35 measurements, and Jayne Russell was a 38-24-36 so no complaints there either...

I am a very odd shape ..not curvy at all apart from my bum and boobs obviously but because I am high waisted my tummy expands a bit more than I would like...I just think its a good job I'm tall

I know a lot of people say curves are fabulous but they have come a long way since the 50's ....I guess as with most things its all subjective..

I have hips that stick out a bit..that means I'm curvy

I love the hourglass 50's figures and style. I use undies to help accentuate what I have naturally.

That is still curvy today. Just because a term has been hijacked to describe folds of fat, doesn't mean it has become the definition.

They used to wear waist cinchers back then. Corselettes, girdles, that kind of thing. I remember as a teenager trying a corselettes on and being amazed at the shape it gave me. Wearing such things every day would change your shape, and it wasn't necessarily healthy.

Saying that, I am waiting for the day I finally reach my target weight so I can splurge on a complete What Katie Did lingerie set and a custom made steel boned corset.

But isn't someone with measurements of say 42-30-42 (for example) just as curvy as the 36-24-36 person?

Curvy is the ratio, in my mind.

I describe myself as curvy on here as i seem to fall into the fab definition of curvy wouldnt describe myself as curvy in the real world id describe myself as a bit chubby but thats not an option on here.

If i had to say one person who springs to mind when i think of the word curvy its kelly brook. I used to run a room on an international site for years for large ladies and admirers, ive been on many sites since 2000 and this is the first one ever ive come across this obsession with the word curvy

I'm an odd shape too.

I'm martini glass shaped.

Slim legs, narrow hips and small bum, jelly belly, huge boobs and broad shoulders.

My hips are 5 dress sizes smaller than my boobs and my waist 4 sizes smaller.

I have a waist, but a big belly, but proportionally, my hips are smaller than my waist.

Some people think my boobs make me curvy. I don't think so, personally.

I don't think that curvy has to be hour glass. Why can't other shapes be curvy? An hour glass figure is already enviable so why can't curvy describe other shapes? Just because most of my curves are lower down does that mean I'm not curvy? Ah Fuck it. I don't care. That's why I've stolen fabulous and that describes my body shape only

right your a perfect example of what i would describe as voluptious i think voluptious is a lovely word and conjours up in my mind a larger lady with curves and a softness of folds. If i saw someone calling themselves voluptious woman i wouldnt expect them to be of slight build. Same as i love the word rubinesque thats how i used to describe myself

I don't think it's that hard to define. I would look at a women's body,if her waist goes in creating a curve, then she's curvy. Likewise if she has a straight torso and curves out at the hips, curvy.

I think you know yourself if you are curvy or just over weight.

Same as a guy knows if he's toned and fit or over weight.

You don't need to ask others for what you already know yourself.

But if you're looking to others to hopefully boost your confidence then that another topic entirely.

Curviness hourglass what does it matter. I take a lot of pictures of women ,semi pro, and I am always amazed by the labels people put on them self and others. From a purely photographic point of _iew curves are very pleasing and create good shadowing and contrasts. But having worked with all sorts of shapes of ladies its the confidence and personality that shines through the picture and gives it that "sexy" look. Oh and the photographer adds a little bit too

I dont really care to be honest. I havent seen a woman who isnt curvy anyone would think some people are made from rectangles.

As far as clothes go and the 50s. I wear a lot of 50s style clothes and as _igeia said they wore things like girdles and corselletes. Its all knowing what to wear to create that look. 50s style is incredibly flattering.

Fuck definitions and fuck anyone trying to impose them on you

It's all about bust/waist/hip ratio, I'm a large lady but I wouldn't call myself curvy, I'm large simple as that. Slim ladies also go in and out, that also makes them curvy and has nothin to do with dress size in my opinion

Good question.

I'm def not slim

I'm def not athletic

I'm far from average

Curvy verses ample was one I had to think about..

I agree with the earlier poster, curvy reminds me of Kelly brook or Monroe so truthfully i can't sell myself as thst.

If a size 14 with softer curves and a wee bit of a belly makes me ample I'm content with that.

I don't think ample means fat it means a good handful

I don't know if she has stomach overhang and/or other excessively flabby bits, but if she does..... good on her, she is making the most of herself.

if she is overly sensitive to these parts, well she should do her best to reduce them.

I know a lot of people say curves are fabulous but they have come a long way since the 50's ....I guess as with most things its all subjective.. "

"having never seen Nigella naked or what quality underwear she is wearing, but I classy her as curvy.

I don't know if she has stomach overhang and/or other excessively flabby bits, but if she does..... good on her, she is making the most of herself.

if she is overly sensitive to these parts, well she should do her best to reduce them.

sometimes the clutching at the 'curvy' straw speaks volumes.

Judging normal people by celebrities speaks volumes to me whether that be others or compating yourself"

It's not as if celebrities have unobtainable body types. Especially Nigella, she's fairly big. Plus a common reference is useful when discussing things like this.

Woah there i think it goes too far not that its not acceptable by any means. People also need a dose of realism. If we are talking about weight alone then i dont have as much of a problem.

I dont think only larger is only normal i think everyone being different is normal.

Have i said all slim women are unrealistic and unhealthy comparisons?? No your missing my point entirely. I definately dont think that.

I think obsession with being like a celebrity is something modern culture promotes. Fad diets etc.

Thinking i would like a figure ' more like' kelly brook and healthy eating and exercise are great. But of you become obessed and take to surgery its unhealthy. And i think thats whats promoted all too much.

That whole post is entirely different to your saying being slim is unrealistic or a result of thousands on surgery, and that Nigella is more realistic despite her being on the larger side (but she's still not okay as she's had Botox).

I'm a size 6-8 so I'm similar to some celebrities in sizing, and I'm not unhealthy nor do I have an unrealistic body type nor do I spend all my time in the gym or thousands on surgery nor do I subscribe to fad diets. It just seems like an excuse people say to continue at a higher weight than accept it's possible to be similar in body size.

No im not you are taking one meaning from what i said, your own.

So your a size 6 to 8 great and goody for you. But not everyone can be. If its natural lucky you. If you work for it great.

But not everyone has the time or puts looks and appearence at the top of their priority list and i dont think they should be shamed for that. Nor should ypu for being slim.

"I dont really care to be honest. I havent seen a woman who isnt curvy anyone would think some people are made from rectangles.

As far as clothes go and the 50s. I wear a lot of 50s style clothes and as _igeia said they wore things like girdles and corselletes. Its all knowing what to wear to create that look. 50s style is incredibly flattering.

Fuck definitions and fuck anyone trying to impose them on you "

Good girl. I wear corsets now as I've lost weight and have big boobs and a round peachy firm ass. Corsets pull in my waist so I always look hour glass. Love it and I feel amazing xx

There isn't one. Unless you mean your own personal definition.

"That is still curvy today. Just because a term has been hijacked to describe folds of fat, doesn't mean it has become the definition. "

Yeah I have to concur in some cases - though not all!

Curvy on fab means everything from slender with boobs and bum to someone who looks pretty much like a football (ie the curves go out rather than in)

As we've said many times before on the forums - best to take every (not just curvy) body description with a pinch of salt and hope there are clear, accurate pictures to see!

"But isn't someone with measurements of say 42-30-42 (for example) just as curvy as the 36-24-36 person?

Curvy is the ratio, in my mind. "

Yeah I'd say so!

To me curvy is more about boob/hip/waist ratio than a particular size!

And by that argument a lot of people who aren't curvy are calling themselves curvy - but I don't think it matters too much in the grand scheme of things! Xx

i think guys have a better understanding of the definition

more than anything its the bum/hips to waist ratio that makes you curvy

if you have the natural shape a corset provides you are bang on in my books

You mean with the corset on?

Because from what I've seen the purpose of a corset is to create curves where there might not necessarily be any - ie create a waist etc. xx

After reading all the replies, it looks like the title of the thread is correct.

There hasn't been an agreed definition yet,maybe after another 1000 Curvy threads it might happen.

A shape of varying size...."
Yes but according urban dictionary: Curvy, in the traditional sense, means having an ample bosom, trim waist, and round butt, although I have seen the timeline on google since 1850 to 2010 and the meaning have changed drastically from 1950 and really peaked at 2010. I guess the meaning changes through the centuries.

If that's the definition then I'm sticking with ample curves as a definition for myself. Oh wait. I can't. I can only tick one box. So I can either define my size or my shape on here. But not both. Therein lies the issue.

If someone describes themselves as curvy, I imagine them to have curves, i.e. bust, waist and hips however small or big , short or tall they maybe. One curve,i.e. no waist isn't curvy. Just my opinion.
