by the same token, curves does not mean fat. when desi women say "i have curves" it inevitably means one thing...
trends come and go, but fit and atheletic is always hot. <3
I take curvy to mean the waist to hip ratio, I forget the #s and calculations, but if there's a considerable difference between ur waist measurment vs ur hip measurement..thats curvy.
And I've noticed, that no matter the culture or time, a decent Waist to hip ratio will always be considered desirable and appealing to the eye

Its simply pathetic. My teenaged sister, who is naturally tall, slim and slender (not anorexic for goodness sake) is one of the leading tennis players in her school, and she's literally the healthiest and fittest person in our family, yet she isn't considered 'healthy' in the eyes of nosy ignorant jahil aunties because she doesn't have a plumy, flabby all gol matol body. And I know how badly it hurts her esteem when desis call her unhealthy and underweight, when all her medical reports are perfectly normal and her PE teachers praise her athleticism. Now 'unhealthy' people don't make good athletes or do they?
^I don't think a young girl of 14 or 15 should be much concerned about her figure but yeah those desi aunties don't let you live no matter how chubby or slender you are.

Newsflash: "nosy ignorant jahil aunties" would be putting her down even if she did have the "plumy flabby gol matol body."
Aunties tend not to let girls be happy and satisfied with their figures/looks be they thin, tall, short, fat, dark skinned ro light skinned, it's not limited only to tall, skinny girls. There's no need to put down another body type.
I don't think there should be a 'standard dress size' for curvy girls. Curves are just that, curves...whether you're a size 8 or 20. I hate magazines that deplict size 12's as curvy, but size 8's non-curvy.
Anyways, Jolie my love unless you’re a buyer/shopper for a high-end boutique or a celebrity/fashion model/whatever you consider to be a rich person, you have WAY too much time on your hands to sit there and flip through Vogue and watch FTV. Go out and eat a cheeseburger.

Its really so ridiculous..curvy is a body type not a size!!!!!
I hate magazines taht tell you how to dress your body shape and include a size 20 as 'curvy' because its not!

I think mags are right to a certain extent when they advise on how to dress to your shape though. For example, apple-shaped girls are better suited to loose, flowy dresses etc.

Its simply disgusting when you see people preaching as if you can change your body type or structure by just eating or not eating. I went to all girls school and college, and I knew plenty of Caucasian girls who eat all normally and healthily yet they wouldn't develop big ass, wide waist, huge bust or thick thighs. Those slim and slender nymphs in the gym class were lot fitter and active than us curvy = 'healthy' desi girls.
The educated and younger generation should know how to respect and embrace all types of female images. Why one always have to be 'better' than the other?
Well, all I know is I'm a size 6-8 UK but every time I buy an ASOS own brand dress that is supposed to be figure hugging, I can't get the zip up because they are made for girls with no hips or boobs. Hmph.
This thread is fun.
