womanly
Like a lady
Womanly describes qualities traditionally associated with mature women—grace, nurturing warmth, emotional depth, or physical curves.
The word carries old-fashioned overtones and implies approval: her womanly composure, a womanly figure.
Unlike feminine, which can describe objects or styles, womanly applies specifically to women themselves.
