full-figured
Having ample curves
Full-figured describes a person, usually a woman, with a larger body shape—curvy, heavy, or plump.
The term is a polite alternative to fat, common in fashion and retail contexts: full-figured models, clothing for the full-figured woman.
Like plus-size, it frames larger bodies positively while acknowledging they fall outside standard sizing.
