It was once very fashionable for a woman to be plump and very curvy. It was referred to as being womanly. Then if you were slender, you were referred to as being masculine and gangly.
Later, it became fashionable for women to be gangly. The fashion society called it the right shape for a woman. The ‘right shaped’ woman was straight with nothing sticking out-no hips, breasts, tummy or backside. In short, the bonier the better.
Most recently the shapely, curvy woman has come back into vogue. A heavy bust is very good, slightly rounded tummy, more than average sized hips and backside are in line.
But how long will this last? who determines the right body shape? Is it God or a particular set of persons? What are the factors, other than for health reasons, guiding having the right body shape? And through all these changes, men could just be whatever they wanted.
