Here's the deal ...
Only more recently -- i.e., media -- usage associated it with the bust of a woman. True, "voluptuous" often included ample breast (C cup or more typically), but it does not on its own at all.
I often use the clarification of "voluptuous hourglass" on thin, full figured (FFW) and even big beautiful (BBW) women. I really don't care what "size" she is, if she's got that hourglass and it comes out very nicely.
As many have heard me say, I don't go for many BBWs, because most tend to be straight (with a large gut), or spoon/pear (with a huge age, too much "cottage cheeze" on their thighs -- I don't mind some, especially on a hourglass). It's very rare that I find a hourglass BBW, but when I do, I go nuts -- Maria Moore, Laura Orsolya, Samantha Anderson, and others. For more apple women, they tend to be stocky'n short when approaching BBW, but even then, they are an unique FFW that puts more into their chest.
In fact, many times I've wanted to start a thread on "hourglass BBWs" but I'm sure that would just get filled with different views, let alone people cannot seem to understand "hourglass" -- even if I define it as the 100% to <75% to ~100% ratio of bust, waist, hips.
- thin v. wide: How much their dimensions are, especially when viewed from the front
- slender v. fat: How much their stomach/gut sticks out (also a valid indicator of health)
- soft v. skinny/boney: I prefer a woman to be softer than more skinny/boney
Under those definitions, I love wide, slender women. Let me say that again, I love wide, but slender women. But that means I'll definitely go for a "more hardbody" woman, as long as she has the hourglass.
I'm completely in love with Shay Laren for this reason, no more and no less than, say, Maria Moore. How can I compare the two? Again, they are what I love, hourglasses. Maria is in excess but oh so shapely and curvy, Shay is minimized just right while being shapely and curvy.
That's what I use to "define" a BBW:
How much does her stomach/gut overhang?
I'm not into most BBWs because of this. But man, when they sport the hourglass dimensions, and just come off with a nice, full set of hips and thighs with the, required, huge chest and bust, I'm so there! And I find women like Maria Moore to be pure beauty atop, so I'm beyond sold. I don't even see her stomach.
However, these shapes have nothing to do with BBW in my book.
Doctors say a woman is "healthy enough" until she has more than 1" of stomach/gut overhang. So to me, a FFW women is over that (unless just very wide), and a BBW is well beyond that (we're talking 2-3").
E.g., Victoria Lane may be a border-line FFW, because she's just so fucking wide, but has a really small mid-section and great, fanging hourglass, but she's large enough some might call her a BBW.
I just don't like seeing women with a minimal stomach/gut called a BBW. In fact, when I see some women with such, while several "petite" sized women down my own street have more overhang, it makes me wonder why people define what they do?
Millions of American women are curvy, but NOT fat, and yet they are considered "fatter" than "petite" sized women who have more stomach/gut overhang. That's what I really try to avoid, because too many women out there are starving themselves to break a size 10, and they physically cannot.
While I agree that "big" and "chubby" are less than exact, "voluptuous" was actually a term that, for many centuries, meant a woman of curvature and breeding. A woman with ample bust as well as wide hips, able to feed a child as well as cause man to lust to spear her womanhood.

I use multiple terms ...
- thin v. wide: How much their dimensions are, especially when viewed from the front
- slender v. fat: How much their stomach/gut sticks out (also a valid indicator of health)
- soft v. skinny/boney: I prefer a woman to be softer than more skinny/boney

Correct, because BMI sucks as an universal measure, it's only good for media. It's really about how much a woman's stomach/gut sticks out.

Actually, the dimensions of women are well defined into apple, hourglass, spoon (pear/bell) and straight.
However, these shapes have nothing to do with BBW in my book.
A woman merely having breasts or not having an absolute flat stomach hardly qualifies her as a BBW.
Doctors say a woman is "healthy enough" until she has more than 1" of stomach/gut overhang. So to me, a FFW women is over that (unless just very wide), and a BBW is well beyond that (we're talking 2-3").
I really define a BBW as "not slender."
E.g., Victoria Lane may be a border-line FFW, because she's just so fucking wide, but has a really small mid-section and great, fanging hourglass, but she's large enough some might call her a BBW.
