11 Black Women on Learning How to Dress Their Bodies, Without Covering Up Their Curves

"Since I was a child, I was always told to 'cover up.' I was always the curvy girl with thick thighs and large breasts, but publicly, I never showed off my body because it was instilled in me to never do so. I was never allowed to wear tight clothing, short skirts, or any revealing clothing growing up because of my curves. I became obsessed with fashion because of these restrictions, and I started to embody my creative side. As an adult, I stopped caring about what I would look like to society and I began embracing my curves and my feminine side. Still a tomboy at heart, I have fallen in love with myself and I dress how I want to with no second thoughts, fully embracing my body and creativity."
