What curvy means in modelling
Curvy describes body shape rather than size. A curvy model usually has an hourglass or pear shape — a noticeably defined waist and fuller hips and bust. Curvy models work in straight and plus sizes, which is why brands for denim, ethnic wear, bodycon dresses, shapewear and swimwear often search for them.
If you need a clothing size of XL and above, see Plus Size Models.
