There is no weight requirement to being a (big) beautiful curvy woman. You've been blessed with your gorgeous curves; that hourglass shape!!
Steps
-
1Highlight your waist.
- If you've got a waist, make the most of it: it gives hourglass figures balance and makes you the envy of all those women with no shape!
- If you are wider at waist, you can create an illusion of it by keeping things fitted in the middle and creating more volume on the top and bottom. For example, go for a large jacket with a belt - it's very flattering.
-
2Try out High Heels.
- "For every centimeter of heel you lose a kilo in weight," according to Marina Rinaldi. Heels make you taller, longer and leaner, but they can tire you out quickly, so go for boots during the day and save your stilettos for the evening if you struggle with foot ache. A good advice: High heels and a suit with a belted jacket can make anyone look instantly slimmer.

3Highlight your best assets.
- Follow your curves. Jennifer Lopez has a classic curvaceous figure and knows how to work it, but remember: no two curvy girls are the same.
- If you have a toned, peachy derriere like Jen, go for a dress that will cling in all the right places to show them off.
- If you have real authentic 1950s curves, nip your waist in to show them off.
- If you're tall, put your legs on display in shorts. The golden rule is never to hide your curves but to dress them up subtly.
-
4Flaunt them.
- All the stick insects within a 3-mile radius are jealous of your jugs and men just can't help but stare. So make the most of your assets without going weird - you wouldn't want to make anyone else feel inadequate, naturally... Go for dresses with plunging necklines, open blouses, trench-style coats and jackets to show off your decollete.

QuestionWhat do I have to do to make myself feel beautiful?
Community AnswerIntrospection. You have to learn to find and appreciate the beauty within yourself. Remember: nobody in the world will be attractive to everyone. There will always be someone out there who finds you unattractive, and that's okay. Focus on making yourself feel beautiful instead of worrying about what other people think about you. Look around you, take note of what you find beautiful in others, and then search for similar attributes in yourself. -
QuestionWhat if I don’t really have curves?
Community AnswerLook at yourself and embrace what you do have. Every single body type is beautiful, so don't feel bad if you don't have any curves.

Warnings
- Respect every body shape. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and if you feel like beauty is narrowed down to one shape or size, then you should expand your definition of beauty.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Celebrate all body types. There is beauty in everyone and everything!⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Only 8% of women are genetically endowed with an hourglass ("curvy") shape. Don't feel bad if you're not part of that 8%!⧼thumbs_response⧽
