I heard an adjective on Russian TV but couldn't figure out what it was. Please help. Thanks.
The context is a description of a girl:
"... с длинными волосами,_____ фигурой ..."
What I missed sounded something like "соскОршой", "с соскОршной", "с оскОршной", or "со скОршиой".

I think the Russian word is "роскошный" (roskoshny), meaning literally "luxurious", but I think "voluptuous" would be a better word in this context.
