Default Ruler body type

No, not as in regal, as in a straight stick! There is a book out now called something like "Escape your Shape", and it divides the body types into rulers, cones, hourglass and spoons. I am pretty much straight up and down, although I am a C-D cup now with breastfeeding. Problem is, all my fat goes to my abdomen, so when I gain 7 pounds (assuming it is fat weight) I look terribly out-of-proportion. I would just as soon have an hourglass figure with more bodyfat that is better distributed. The ectomorph models have very low bodyfats - about 10%. Not only is this ideal unrealistic for most women, it is also unhealthy.
