Curvaceous: ten women with a classic line, grouped by how each opens an evening
Curvaceous is our word for a classic, generous silhouette, the kind that makes a wrap dress or a well cut jacket look as though it were made to measure. Ten women in the edit carry it. The shortest stands 160 cm and the tallest 175, and the set takes in all four colourings on offer here: blonde, brunette, raven and auburn.
Measurements predict almost nothing about an evening, though. So rather than describe the ten by figures, we have grouped them by the way each tends to spend the first hour, which is usually the hour that tells you most.

A glass first
Bianka is 165 cm and hazel eyed, her light brown hair turned paler at the ends by summer; she tastes wine seriously and dresses in vintage, so her first hour is a considered glass somewhere with a proper list. Luna, dark auburn and 171 cm, shares the love of wine and adds a portrait photographer's eye for faces. Michelle, 173 cm and dark haired, mixes cocktails for pleasure and will review the bar's with generous honesty, while Molly, 164 cm with loose dark waves, finds the one cocktail on the menu nobody else has noticed.
Open air first
Nancy, golden blonde and blue eyed, swims in open water and would gladly begin with a walk beside the Serpentine before the light goes. Thea, caramel blonde with green eyes, cycles and hikes, and arrives with the colour of a day outdoors still on her. Roxi, 168 cm with long black hair, boxes and surfs, and tends to fill the first hour with laughter and a stroll along the river near her home in Pimlico.
A story first
Danielle, 170 cm with straight black hair, opens with a film she cannot stop thinking about, or a line of verse she has had by heart since Tuesday. Rosa, chestnut curled and 160 cm, starts with a record and the tale of the tiny gallery where she found her latest favourite painter. Milena, at 175 cm the tallest here, begins with a strong espresso and a direct question, because she would much rather hear about you than about the weather. Any of the three will have you talking about something other than work within ten minutes.
Evenings that suit the set
Whichever first hour appeals, most evenings with these ten find their way to a table. The corner table commission gives four hours for £1,300, time for a first glass or a walk, a long dinner in one of the quieter rooms around Motcomb Street and the stroll home. Two hours at £750 is enough for a first hour and a proper conversation.
If you already have a room in mind, the Chinoiserie lounge at the Carlton Tower, say, or the Blue Bar at The Berkeley, mention it in your message. Several of the ten have a favourite, and Rosie will tell you whose it is.
Crossing into other sets
Nancy and Thea also appear with the blondes, Luna with auburn and red, the three dark heads, Roxi, Danielle and Milena, among the raven haired, and Michelle and Milena among the statuesque. Rosa is one of the petite seven.
Writing to Rosie
Every plate begins at £400 for the hour, with the complete ladder on the rates page. Tell Rosie which first hour appeals, or simply name a woman through booking, and she will come back with who is free and when.
