Please don’t use the misleading term “petite and curvy” when refering to short plus-sized women. As a petite curvy size 2, this sort of misleading thing happens all the time and it’s very disappointing.
Curvy and fat are different things, which demand different care with clothing to look presentable at work, namely different cuts, colors and alteration tricks.

Curvy and fat can overlap, but not necessarily. As long as our society considered “fat” an insult rather than a neutral description, people will use euphemisms to be polite.
