"well-endowed"

How about just "stroinaia" as a culturally appropriate and unforced-sounding
term. I rather like it because it picks up on English "built" - to my ear. 

A Russian colleague of mine suggests "khoroshaia figura" as non-offensive and
colloquial. 

The rest,as my old conversation teacher - Anatolii Sapronov - used to say is
pure "anglosaksonstvo."
