We had a similar thread a while ago about what larger ladies (and men) like to be called. I remember saying I found dear  Lennie Feinberg's phrase 'fuller figured gals' a good one. Personally I would not mind being called skinny but I can understand (and know from friends) that this and similar comments can be unwelcome for those who struggle to put weight on. Maybe it is about how it is said? Would 'a slender figure' be a good description?
