shapely
Pleasing in form
Shapely describes a body or figure with attractive, well-proportioned curves—typically applied to women: a shapely leg, a shapely figure.
The word carries an appreciative, slightly old-fashioned tone, suggesting pleasing contours rather than thinness.
Less commonly, shapely applies to any object with an aesthetically pleasing form: a shapely vase.
