I was thinking that until I read that the torso is wider than the hips but but the rest of my torso excluding the shoulders look equal to my hips if not smaller. I'm not sure if that matters, does it?
The biggest part of my bust line is about 35.5" and waist 26.5" and hips are 39.5"
I wear about a size 26 jean and most of my tops are small to medium depending on the brand but small is usually tight for my breast and medium is fits odd in shoulder to arm pit area sometimes theres too much extra material that falls in a wierd way.
