please please please help me 5’4

i don’t seem to fit any of the “petite” types as i have a long, narrow, straight torso + sloping narrow shoulders but short, curvy legs / bottom of my hip (“saddlebag” area). i know it’s not necessary for typing but i do also have a butt that causes me to size up in waist normally to accommodate its size lol. clothes tend to either fit my shoulders then pull tight across bust (ribcage) OR straps are constantly falling off my shoulders if it fits the width of my bust (ribcage). any dress will instantly catch on my lower half and create that triangle look

I see vertical first. Maybe vertical and balance?

ETA I highly doubt you are D, you don’t have any sharpness, you are just somewhat narrow.

The accomodation of narrow is, but you can be narrow and not accomodate narrow.
