14/39 Ask Sara What Makes a Woman

Ask Sara with Sara Troy Aired September 30th 2014

What makes a woman and who decides?

When you look through the ages at style, today’s style can be very depressing. Where did the entire feminine voluptuous woman go?

Reclaiming Our Femininity: Embrace Your Curves

I’m growing increasingly tired of the trend in fashion that seems to strip away our femininity, leaving us to look like boys in girls’ clothes. It’s as if the industry has forgotten what makes us uniquely, beautifully women.

Remember when we were young, eagerly awaiting the day when our bodies would blossom into the curves that signify womanhood? We celebrated the changes that marked our journey into womanhood—whether it was the soft curve of a hip or the fullness of a bust. But now, everywhere I look, the standard seems to be flat chests, boyish waists, no hips, and gawky legs—a far cry from the vibrant diversity of shapes and sizes that truly represent us.

We see a glimmer of hope in cultural icons who embrace their curves with confidence. Shows like Mad Men take us back to an era where women like Christina Hendricks proudly flaunted their hourglass figures, reminding us that curves have always been a symbol of femininity and strength. Icons like Tyra Banks have built successful careers on their shapely figures, proving that beauty isn’t confined to one narrow standard. So why, in 2024, are we still seeing clothes designed for a narrow, boyish frame rather than for the beautifully diverse shapes that represent real women?

Loving and embracing our bodies starts with self-respect and self-love. We must reject the one-size-fits-all approach to beauty and reclaim the narrative around our bodies. Your beauty is defined by you, not by anyone else’s standards. It’s time to step into your power, wear your body with pride, and dress in a way that honors the unique beauty you possess.

Whether you’re celebrating your curves, loving your flat chest, or embracing your full bosom, remember that every body is a work of art. Don’t let fashion dictate how you should look—let your style reflect the love you have for yourself, and never shy away from your full womanhood.

Fashion should be about expression, not oppression. It’s time to demand more from designers and the industry as a whole. We deserve clothes that celebrate our bodies, not hide them. We deserve to see our diversity reflected on runways and in stores.

So, dress for your body, reflect the love from within, and walk confidently in your womanhood. Love every inch of who you are, and let that love shine through in every outfit you wear.
