What's a non pejorative way of saying that a woman is bigger? [duplicate]

I'd probably opt for one of the following (and definitely not use the word large - I don't know any women who'd take that as an unambiguous compliment):

She was cuter when she was curvier (or I liked her better when she had curves)

She was cuter when she had a fuller figure

She was cuter when she had a little meat on her bones (a bit old-fashioned)

Edit: Since people seem to be having difficulty imagining a fuller figure without conjuring up images of Godzilla, here's a comparative photo of the actual person OP is referencing, before and after she lost weight. I don't think anyone in their right mind would call the curvier Lohan fat.

Large is possibily a word that (might) not cause too much offence. Filled out or fuller figured are perhaps good alternatives, too. I like the term "voluptuous", which is often used to refer to an attractive, larger woman. With all of these options, the person to whom you are referring may take offence anyway - use with caution!

There is no safe way to phrase this, but you might have more luck by turning it around:

Lindsay Lohan was cuter when she was less skinny.
