curvaceous

Having alluring curves

Curvaceous describes a woman's body with pronounced, attractive curves—full hips, bust, and a defined waist.

The word carries appreciative connotations, suggesting sensual appeal rather than clinical measurement: a curvaceous blonde, her curvaceous figure.

Occasionally applied to winding roads or sinuous designs, but the human female form remains the primary reference.
