Uhm, no, it wasn't. Supermodel in the 60s

Late 60s.

Early 60s was girls who looked like Gidget and Cissy from Family Affair. Short and curvy was the style of the 50s to 60s era. Sofia Loren was curvy and not a stick.

Twiggy skinny wasn't popular until the late 60s.

This is Gidget. Not exactly curvy. Which was never a euphemism for fat or chubby until recently.

Here's another of your "curvy" girls. Not fat or short. 5'7" and 125lbs

Sophia Lauren was 5'9", very tall for her time. No, short and curvy has never been in style or elegant.

First -- hairy and side burns?! Are you a troll? Get rid of them for god-sakes.

I'm in the U.K. right now and there are plenty of women of all shapes and sizes, but their clothes are nicer, more structured, better material and simply more stylish! They dress up regardless of their size. On warmer days lots of women wear skirts and dresses. They're not ashamed of pale legs or imperfect calves.

Basically, they all have more confidence regardless of shape/beauty.

Always go for the V neck. Makes your neck look longer. Stay away from boat necks or crew necks. Look for sheath dresses or do monocrhomatic two pieces; makes you look longer.

Posture is important. Yoga can help you stand very straight.
