Not ALL women are CURVY. There are many women who are built straight with small waist and small hips who wear SMALL sizes.

Curves do not mean fat, it means a female form

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Some pieces are this way because it's easier to make and sell, especially on a shopping channel. I rarely buy online clothes anymore. I prefer trying things on to see how they fit my curves. I have noticed more tops being rather straight, boxy, and looser fitting lately. I think part of it it is the whole comfort wear trend that is so huge right now.

There are women who are "built" like Elly May Clampett.....and some like Jane Hathaway.     Different, that's all.    Nothing wrong with either one of them.    (I'm more like Granny........)

Exactly.  I avoid anything that says curvy.  I have no curves to speak of.  Small breasts, small waist, small hips.

Not anymore.  Like a lot of word meanings to fit political correctness.  Obese women have claimed the word curvy.
