In a book on fitting clothing, written in 1883:
Aus der Vergleichung der an Figur 1, 2 und 4 dargestellten 5 Laengen-Masse des Oberkoerpers und aus ihrem Verhaeltnis zu einander ersehen wir mit groesster Genauigkeit, ob der Wuchs oder die Haltung einer Dame "normal gerade", "vorgeneigt" oder auch "zurueckgebogen" ist, was uns in Verbindung mit den an Fig. 1 bis 3 ersichtlichen 5 Breiten-Massen wiederum gar keinen Zweifel laesst ueber den Bau des Rueckens, der Schulterblaetter, sowie ueber die Breite und Hoehe der Brusttheile.
Could it be "sway-backed"?
