For some reason -- can't quite put my finger on it -- the Lords of Fashion decided a long time ago that a "beautiful woman" is a woman who looks a lot of a "fourteen year old boy".

Part of it may be because they like adolescent boys, but probably more because it's just easier to create a dress to fit on a straight cylindrical figure. Curves are complicated to cut a dress for.

On the other side, the women who complain the most about the fashion industry not designing for "women with curves" are not what I would consider curvy. Sophia Loren in her prime was curvy. Raquel Welch was curvy. Most of the complaining women are just fat.
