Wow, yea don't be... it's like the #1 biological sign of fertility and sexiness in women. Something like 98% of cover models have your measurements, my girlfriend has those measurements and my friends are always like man your girl is sooooooo hot. Hahaha, you sound like me - I'm a 6'3 guy and i always used to be insecure about being "too tall" lol.... the things we tell ourselves. Enjoy!
----- Also side note, i saw your other post where you said your Dexa scan is 32% bodyfat. ZERO chance, you look great and those things are so inaccurate. I workout and eat amazing, have abs and my dexa came back as almost obese. Get one of these https://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-306C-Handheld-Body-Monitor/dp/B000FYZMYK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536171049&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=omron+bodyfat+tester
Test yourself every morning for a week when you first wake up, whatever the average is will probably be within 2% of your actual bodyfat.
Also, if you are trying to gain curves and get rid of fat you need to be lifting heavy weights. Deadlifts and Squats. If you eat at a deficit without lifting you will just get skinnyfat which is no fun.

I discovered this sub a minute ago, so I can't speak to any of the programs followed here, but I'll share what's been working for me so far (27/f/5'9"/CW:163lbs):
I'm still trying to figure things out but I'm over halfway to my weight loss goal (I nearly hit 200lbs last year and want to get back down to 135lbs). Hopefully my methods can be of some help :)
I'm only on the first month, but I've found that (at least at this point) I can successfully modify "The Booty-ful Beginnings". I'm pretty weak though, so I won't need to worry about reaching the limit of my dumbbells for a bit. There is a section of Strong Curves for at home, so that might be what you're looking for.
I use an exercise ball, yoga mat, [these dumbells] (http://www.amazon.ca/Cap-Barbell-RSWB-40TPB-Dumbbell-Pounds/dp/B000VCDXNS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426466158&sr=8-1&keywords=dumbbells) - I found them for under $50 not so long ago though - and my couch. I think I'll grab a chin-up bar soon though. Working well so far, and will until I need more than 40lbs... After that I might just have to go to the gym, but depending on your goals it might not matter as much.
I'm not sure which barbells have a limit below 300lb, I haven't seen one at least. Even the Dick's Sporting Goods cheap one that is terrible is 300lb. Are you sure buying the one you picked is a good idea? There's several on Amazon for decent prices with 500+ limits.
------
Here's one for $140ish.
Here's a 6ft bar for $65 with a 500lb capacity.
One for $110 with a 600lb capacity.
This one has a 250lb capacity for $31 but it seems like garbage. It's a standard and seems like it may last a year at most. I had a similar bar once and it did not last. Plus the weight of the bar itself is low.
Here's one for $70s for a 7ft Olympic.
And you could probably find some decent prices on Craigslist or FB Marketplace. I got a Matt Chan bar for like $100 through craigslist.
------
You could check out /r/homegym for more suggestions. A common one is the Dick's Sporting Goods 300lb set though I warn you that the bar isn't great. I bought two sets for the decent and cheap weights and gave one of the bars to a friend. I used the other for a year and now it is a beater bar. Good deal for a bar and weights for cheap.
I've got a similar one (except the board is full length - got it through Amazon's warehouse deals for like $90!) and I love it. I can't lay down with my back on the floor due to some spine issues, but I can do all of the workouts with a hyperextension bench. It also doubles as a second flat bench, which is super nice since my husband is usually on the incline bench.
I redid my favorite workouts through a rotation before finding this guy through Bret contreras; the book is super science based and allows you to build your own programming (kinda, his guidelines) for what feels the best.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/149251456X?pc_redir=T1&qid=1466147887&s=books&sr=1-1
I just started my programming today!
I would use resistance bands. Either loops, or the kind with handles, you can attach them to a door and it's just like cable weights. I have this set and I love it. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Products-Resistance-Exercise/dp/7245456313/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450737044&sr=8-3&keywords=resistance+bands
You could easy do substitutes for all of those exercises with these. For extra weight, double or triple up the bands. Watch that little video on the Amazon page, they show how to use them.

This Is the Best TDEE Calculator on the Web (2019) - Legion Athletics
Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body (Muscle for Life Book 2) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0098PYV7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5Z4wDbBR09H90
I'd have a look at your TDEE on this website and the linked book which is a good intro to cutting/maintenance/bulking and macros with a specific focus on women.
Yes, I think 1400kcal is too low to bulk. Had a quick look at your calculated TDEE based on your weight and activity level (you'll be able to calculate it more accurately by using correct BF% and age, height etc...) and I think you'd need to be quite a bit higher.
I'd give the book a read and see what you think. It's cheap enough.
I'm the same way with whey protein. I switched to a vegan protein, PlantFusion, that I get in vanilla that I like well enough and causes me no problems. I mix it with almond milk and often other add-ins like cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, etc and enjoy it. I've also used it in oatmeal and baking with success
I found mine on Amazon under knee brace. Good luck!
knee brace
Like you said, 10 inches probably isn't high enough to feel anything. A bench isn't your only option; you could get a sturdy folding chair or a taller stool like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-RM-P2-Non-Slip-300-Pound-Capacity/dp/B004Q0I2RS/ref=sr_1_cc_4?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1452833651&sr=1-4-catcorr&keywords=step+stool). If you don't want to invest in something like that then you can always look in the index for other exercises to substitute.
I use straps. You can work on grip strength on its own. Don't let your deadlift progress stall just because of grip. I usually do warm up without straps, then straps for heavy sets, and last set as many as possible without straps. I train my grip with deadhangs, or holding heavy dumbbells when doing other single leg exercises.
I waited so long to use straps because I thought I was cheating. Then I sucked it up and bought it. I immediately wish I did it sooner when I crushed my RDL reps at the gym without the worry of focusing on grip and was able to focus on form.
I don't use straps for regular deadlifts, because the quick tap reset at the bottom (even if it's a quarter of a second) seems to help and not require the assistance of straps.
This is what I got:

You can do the reverse hyper off of a weight bench, or even a smaller bed if it's positioned right. I just bought this hyper bench and it's very nice. It folds up easily and sits against the wall.
Are you attending a gym, or working out at home? At my gym they have 15, 20, 35 & 45lb bars. I used the 15lb bars for a long time on a lot of exercises until I was ready to move up. Ask around at the gym to see if they have different sizes :)
edit: At my gym the 15lb bars are silver pic
The 20lb bars are curved (actually looks like they are called "curl bars") pic
The 35lb bars are black (sometimes called "womens" bar) pic
The 45lb bars are black but slightly longer and a tad wider than the 35lb pic
Freya Women's Active Underwire Sports Bra
I bought this one on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0UOTY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I have not used any others.
