The difference between "curvy women" and "plus size" women

I think there's a lot of confusion about women's clothing sizes and how clothing brands label women of different sizes. I think the confusion comes from the fact that different clothing sizes can look very different between brands.<br><br>"Curve" as opposed to "plus size" are terms used to describe women with female proportions, but with a larger hip to waist ratio, usually with a size 12 or below. Fashion brands usually use the term "curve" to describe women with a larger cup size, but a more proportional body. <br><br>"Plus size," which can be used interchangeably with the term "extended size", refers to a wider range of sizes which can vary between brands. Extended sizes tend to be 14 and above, but can be 12 and above depending on the brand.<br><br>I think it's just clothing brands using different terms to sell clothes to women, to be honest, but I don't think it hurts to understand women's fashion as both terms are used by fashion brands.<br><br>"Petite" and "tall" sizes also matter, which can affect female proportions when choosing clothes.<br><br>I hope this clears up any confusion because it's not entirely the same.
