There’s nothing wrong with curvy women who have a bust to show off, but lately trends have shifted to accent other sensual parts of the female figure. The shift was inspired by the fact that some women won’t acknowledge that there is such a thing as too much cleavage, making you look cheap and eager, not sexy and attractive.
