Under bust smaller than waist, anyone?

Even when I was super skinny 20 year old, my rib cage and under bust measurement was smaller than my waist. I guess I'm a ruler/column shape? Anybody else with underbust smaller than waist?

This may be stupid, but wouldn't that be a pear shape? Waist bigger than chest?

I thought ruler shape would require you to have equal measurements at the hips, waist, and bust---straight up and down like a ruler.

Oh I thought pear shaped ladies have a small waist and smaller bust. My bust and hips are the same and my shoulders are lil bigger. It's sooo much "fun" to shop for dresses

That would be an apple shape if a waist is wider than hips and ribcage

I am pear shaped and had to buy new shirts today. The store mostly carried low V-neck, lace-up in front, very low cut collar designs (current fashion trend?). This is not flattering on a non-busty woman such as myself. Plus the shoulders were tight or the fabric cut into my armpits. Took my an hour to find two tops that fit. Shopping is a nightmare.
