How to Describe This?

You've kinda already done it - e.g. 'she wasn't quite full-figured, but she was definitely fuller than the average cheerleader type.'

 

[StillStunned]

Normal.

Or, if you want to go with more detail, "just enough feminine softness over her athletic body" or something.

Thicc. Not fat, but not skinny.

Also: plump, zaftig, rubenesque.

My eighth-grade teacher told us, jokingly...BTW she was old and as skinny as a rail herself, to say "Pleasingly plump."

Well nourished

 

[yowser]

Zaftig.

EDIT. Capt. Aloha, should have read your post more carefully. You're first. But such a perfect description, Yiddish so elegantly simple.

If her form isn't at some extreme, then I wouldn't give her figure a word or phrase. I'd be more likely to pick out some element of her figure, like the curve of her hips, the shape of her butt, her neck, the depth of her cleavage. . .

It also works to use a sense other than vision to create an impression of what she's like.

She had a particularly pleasing cleavage. I was torn between wanting to preserve that perfect image of the crease between her two stunning breasts, and desperation to rip off all her clothing, to confirm her rounded breasts fit in my hands and the curves of her shapely ass really were just as amazing.

I was right. The undulating wave where her waist became hip was even more beautiful. It tasted great, too.

 

[onehitwanda]

She was delightfully curvy, and I found myself distracted for a moment thinking about what it would be like to feel her body give ever-so-slightly against mine - were I ever to have the chance to hold her.

Clover sat, looked in the mirror and wiped off her lipstick. "Hey, a customer tonight told me I was zaftig," she said.

"You know that's the German word for fat, right?" Roxanne said.

"It is not. It means volumptuous."

"No it doesn't. Volumptuous isn't even a real word."

"It's Yiddish." Misty said, "And it means more like plump, buxom."

"Fat," Roxanne muttered.

Misty nodded, "Yeah, pretty much."

Clover held up both of her middle fingers. "Well, here are three words in English. Fuck you bitches."

Just describe her as having he body of a sensuous and feminine woman and let the reader paint the picture according to what he considers feminine and sensuous.

"Curvy" is how I would describe this look.

 

[Bramblethorn]

Catherine Martin's "A woman and a half in every direction" and Mma Ramotswe's "A traditionally built woman" are two of my favourites, though both may be a bit more than you're aiming for.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

I think @Bramblethorn's reply above implies my reaction: it depends on who is describing the woman. In a WIP of mine, someone describes a minor character as "carrying a bit of weight." No other character would say it that exact way, but that's how Don talks.

"Her soft, round contours looked eminently huggable."
