Bh I think your women are positively gorgeous!!!
being a mother of 3 small children
I myself am a bit curvy and toting about a few extra pounds i'd like to loose, and retain a size of 12 (my body structure and anything under that would look hideous)

I think its more of the body structure that ppl look at, like me im 5'8 and well weight isnt important but if i were to go below a size 12 ppl would think me sickly  as i am just not built to be a tiny little thing. its genetics. All the women in my family are healthily curvy. Some like it some dont.
