sweater girl
Knitwear-filling figure
A sweater girl is a woman with a notably curvaceous figure, especially an ample bust, shown off by a tight-fitting sweater.
The term emerged in 1940s Hollywood when form-fitting knitwear became fashionable, and actresses like Lana Turner were photographed in snug pullovers.
The usage is dated but occasionally revived nostalgically or ironically.
