'No but she has a no curves and boyish figure.' 'No, but I actually have breasts.'
Your mothers were women with different body types than you. Not male figures and yes she had breasts but likely very small ones compared to you.
I didn't read that as putting down their mothers' figures, just as a neutral description. Generally when people use the word "womanly" to describe someone's figure, they are referring to a curvy figure. Back in the sixties, 36-26-36 were considered to be the ideal measurements for an adult woman. A person with a more straight up and down figure, with less variation between measurements is described as having a more "boyish" figure.
