German to English word translation? 'Runde' in "Runde Frauen will da niemand sehen"?

"Runde Frauen will da niemand sehen"



Fluent German speakers, what would you say is the best English word for 'Runde' in that context? I understand the sentence's meaning but I'm not sure about how the connotations associated with the useage of 'Runde' would translate best in English. Round? Chubby? Big? Full-figured? Is he using the word like one would use 'Volschlank'?



I'm writing a paper on Lagerfeld and his views on fatness and getting the best translation of that specific word is important to me for it so your input would be much appreciated!German to English word translation? 'Runde' in "Runde Frauen will da niemand sehen"?
yes, "rund" here is the same as vollschlank. Depending on the tone of the paper I would go for "full-figured" (rather formal) or for "chubby" (more colloquial)German to English word translation? 'Runde' in "Runde Frauen will da niemand sehen"?
