Warnings - Half naked bodies. I've been asked to add this warning when it applies
A/n - Ah! Posted before I remembered to add this. I have received so many requests for this headcanon. I hope I did it justice.

Throughout history, plus size women have been signs of wealth, fertility, beauty, and good health. Even in modern-day times, the plus-size figure is the norm and desirable in many cultures.
When we look into history at statues meant to bring blessings of fertility, you notice a female statue with large breasts, large stomachs, and typically a bit of a booty or fuller hips. Fertility statues are considered sacred, beautiful, and worshipped in religions all around the world. They are representations in many places of the ideal female body, not just pregnancy.
We see this similar theme in the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and fertility across religion. From the birth of Venus to the modern-day art of Oshun, to carvings of Lakshmi, it is still very popular to see these Goddesses depicted with a fuller figure, softer stomach, and hips.
During the dark ages, the plus-size figure was the standard of beauty for other reasons. It meant you were wealthy and could afford to eat. Daughters and wives of wealthy men were lusted after for the symbolism of money and power their fuller figures created. That brings me to Elain.
I firmly believe Elain at her happiest is plus size. Soft curves, a belly, and ass for days, Elain isn't ashamed or embarrassed by her full figure. Not when she knows what we all should: Curves, no matter how big or small, are sexy, and not when she knows it is a symbol of her papa's wealth and later Rhysand's, then Lucien or Azriel's, whichever you prefer.
I do firmly believe Elain would have a gentle hourglass figure as a plus-size woman. She would be a proportional plus-size woman, mainly because SJM would write her that way to match the image of perfection.
I also firmly believe Elain is rocking a booty. Big booties have always been sexy. Sir Mix a Lot made a whole song out of it and people will pay for BBLs to achieve the big booty look Elain naturally gets to have.
When addressing the booty situation, think of all the squatting she is doing in the garden. Mama has thick thighs and perfect ass. That's why she can't wear pants. She put too many fae in the hospital by breaking their necks to look back at it.
Cellulite and stretchmarks are also a thing on plus-size Elain's body. And if it's Lucien or Azriel, those dimples and scars are loved and cherished. They're signs of her happiness and security in herself. Signs that starvation didn't win. I imagine both of them as the types of males to trace them, whispering how beautiful she is and how sexy they find her.
I very much picture plus-size Elain as an Ashley Graham like figure. Ashley Graham, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her long hair, her face card, her curves. But most importantly, her confidence. Elain would be so confident in her plus-size body that you can not help but see her as this ethereal creature.
