A word properly used to describe women with a waist to hip ratio of about 70%. That is to say, their waist should be about 70% as wide as their hips. This word has been misappropriated as a euphemism for fat women. Their fat covers the difference between their waist and their hips so they have a ratio of 100%. Since women generally have wide hips it's the relative narrowness of the waist that produces the appearance of curves. Therefore, fat women are actually less curvy than skinny women.
Alice: "Don't you want a curvy woman?"
Bob: "Actually your prodigious girth renders your curves invisible. I'm into curvy women like Carol"
Alice: "Carol isn't curvy, she's skinny"
Bob: "Alice, you've created a false dichotomy, Carol is curvy AND skinny".

A woman that is curvy has an hourglass figure, small waist, shapely booty, and big boobs. She is not fat. Fat/ Overweight women should not use the word "curvy" because they aren't. There is a difference.

The word "curvy" should be used to describe a woman with large breasts, a small waist, and a full bottom. REAL curvy women are Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, and Marilyn Monroe.
HOWEVER, in teen magazines like Seventeen and Cosmo Girl, "curvy" is used as a synonym for fat, so that fat girls feel better about their figures.

Typically, to describe a woman with a small waist, large boobs and butt.
Media confuses this with obesity. Obesity is NOT curvy. Magazines try to confirm that obesity is okay and you're "curvy", so you may continue to sit on your ass. Which is not the case.
Curvy women are usually classified as "real women" since they possess the assets that puberty textbooks say a girl should get. However, media also may confuse curvy with over weight.
The overall message is, it doesn't matter what size you wear, if you simply have a small waist and stomach, wide hips and large boobs, you need to take yourself to a coca-cola factory.

The technically definition is a woman with an hour glass figure. However overweight women have taken the term as their own, so nowadays if someone uses the term curvy, its people trying to politely say their fat. On dating profiles fat women will often use the term curvy to describe themselves as its hard to tell if their actually curvy or overweight.
Original Definition: Woah Marilyn Monroe sure was hot and curvy.
New Definition:
Example 1- As a curvy woman I have to shop in plus size shops like Evans.
Example 2- Have you met Alex's new girl? She's a bit on the curvy side.
Example 3- So I'm meeting this girl from Match, shes listed her body type as curvy but all her pictures of selphies that only show her face. Hmm.
