What body shape am I? APPLE OR BANANA? Cause I can't tell.

I know that I definitely don't classify into the Pear/Hourglass section. When I gain weight, it takes place in the upperbody. Now, before you jump to "Oh, you're an apple", there are still things that make me less of an apple and more of a banana, and there are some things that make me more like an apple and less like a banana.

Apples have a shoulder, bust, & waist measurement that are broader and wider than their hips. They tend to carry all/most of their weight in their stomach, not having much of a waist & very narrow hips to go along with it. They also carry weight in their arms, face, & chest size. Apple shaped women tend to have a larger bust. Apples also have more "skinny"/shapely legs.

Bananas have around the same measurement of their shoulders, waist, and hips, therefore making a "straight down" or "rectangle/ruler" shape. They tend to have smaller busts, unlike apples. I read somewhere that bananas also tend to gain in the buttocks, love handles, and in the mid-section mostly. Banana's legs are shapely.

Well, my measurements are 36-32-36. My shoulders are the same measurement as my hips and bust, and my cup size is a B/C. I have somewhat of a waist, and my legs aren't completely small compared to my upperbody. This is where I think I'm banana. However, I also feel like an apple sometimes because I lack a bottom in general and tend to carry mostly in my stomach/arms/face.


Here are 3 photos of me, from the front, side, and back.:
What do you think I am more of? (Because I think I'm somewhat both.)
Also, for the record, I'm 5'7", 152 lbs.
