From the measurements I'd guess slim hourglass. Any chance of pictures?

Just have to pop in and say that if your bust is 32.5, you may not really be a 32B. I thought I was 32B for years until I started reading about bra fitting and the more current advice on such. I tried that advice (to use your underbust measurement as your band size), and found that a 28E or 30DD fits me much better than a 32B, and it makes me look much more uplifted and better shaped. Amazingly to me, it actually solved all the issues I had with appearance, sliding bra straps, and occasionally uncomfortable underwire ends when I wore my 32Bs. This is the site that got me started.

If you're happy with your bra fit and appearance in clothing, then please ignore what I wrote above, but I thought I'd mention it in case it could help you or someone else.

A shoulders-across measurement and an underbust measurement would help... Nannabella has a good point too about bra size.

From your measurements, you seem to have a lovely, balanced figure. I agree with Laura that you are probably a slim hourglass and, yes, a picture would be very helpful.

Your bust and hips are the same measurements, so you are probably hourglass, but kinda slim.
