I have a very similar shape, with a 34HHH as a bra size and a very tiny ribcage and a very narrow back, a small waist and broad hips. The good thing with it is that I keep my proportions regardless of weight, the bad, well, the fitting issue. I started to sew to be able to get clothes that...- Isis
