Trying On The Types | Finding My Kibbe Body Type

[@AlyArt]

So interesting - I have been watching Loepsie's videos for a long time now - and never thought she watched me too )) Weird thing about KZbin )) Hey, great channel and great videos!!!

[@Loepsie]

No way, hahaha! 🙈

[@AlyArt]

@@Loepsie ahahah yeah I even cut my bangs after your video!!! )))

[@silvanaguzman9030]

What would Aly type you as?

[@kotadawndragon]

The soft natural looks seemed to flatter you the most. Although that red dress was my absolute favorite. It honestly could have worked for a couple different body types. The soft gamine styles were cute, but they didn't really work for you.

[@milica8979]

I agree that dress was amazing, and that's actually one of those dresses that would look great on both Soft Dramatic and Soft Natural. To me, there were two clear signs that she is actually a Natural: the makeup was too much on her and the dress looked very formal. Being a Soft Dramatic myself, I know that kind of makeup would look just right on me, and the dress would actually look slightly more casual. That's typical of any piece of clothing that SN and SD can share: an SN looks much more dressed up in it.

[@shadowsun5704]

I’m a soft dramatic and that red dress had the shoulders but the rest is a bit iffy. It’s definitely better for soft naturals.

[@verina_crochet_garden]

I have a similar cut dress (it's not a wrap dress but the sillhouette/cut is similar) and I bought it cause it looks kinda vintage like 1940's style.. and before I was scared of wearing long dresses... but now I like them better, I think that length really suits me (and others) it is feminin and has waist emphasis.. and well that cut... it makes me look thinner than I am! And Loepsie looks gorgeous in that red one!

[@ellimusicqueen]

Soft Natural looks extremly good on you.

[@ellimusicqueen]

C well... i have no Knowledge about this topic. That was just my opinion.

[@thamiresvaz3]

@@user-ul6cs1ln6q gamines are very easy to see. They are petit, they look like teens or girls. soft gamine looks like a girly teen. gamine looks like a teen but more like a tom boy teen. and FG is short but muscular, broad. loepsie doesn´t have that vibe

[@summerwillows4655]

Wow, I totally had you placed as soft gamine until you tried on the clothes. Have you tried flamboyant gamine. You have a strong Audrey vibe to me.

[@MissLeonable]

I honestly feel like you only look short when one only sees your face... Your whole body looks rather long and tall. I have to admit: I think I was wrong with saying you’re gamine. Your body does look more natural. Also your voice and your character seems more natural (honest, confident, uncomplicated) than gamine (childlike, cute).

[@ninjanerdfighter]

In the soft natural looks you looked like a model- they fit your whole vibe perfectly. I think "elevated boho" works really well on you!

[@johnreynolds6074]

I watch your channel to better interact with my granddaughters. Your videos are informative. I like your statements such as “I like myself, It looks better on me or for me, I like how it looks on me”. It demonstrates a strong personal character and what I like my granddaughters and young ladies to learn, rather than to follow defined styles and body types of others. It looks like you are happy and having fun when you demonstrate your many styles from vintage to casual, to current beautiful formal clothes and hair styles. Your strong character and ability to choose many lovely styles as you showed on the “Trying on All My Clothes” video makes your channel special.

[@nicoleranieri8033]

John, you must be a hell of a grandfather. Lucky granddaughters you must have!

That is very sweet of you, I hope they appreciate you! Thank you for supporting your grand daughters so much, it's very lovely :)

[@Snowhite-tx4sm]

Aww that's lovely, wish u and your family happy and healthy life!

[@insights3140]

I love that you do that

[@nicolesmith4371]

Now that I’ve seen you in the different lines it is very clear you are some type of natural. Those gamine outfits didn’t stand out in any positive way like the natural outfits did. The high neck and tight fit looked a bit suffocating. You looked perfect in the long wide leg pants and that outfit is quintessential natural (meaning only flamboyant and soft naturals can pull it off so well). You should do another video trying on flamboyant and soft natural to see which is best. A main component of Kibbe is figuring out what you pull off like no one else can, and I believe with your natural body and ingenue face (similar Gigi hadid and Selena Gomez) you’ll be able to pull off a style that is super beautiful and unique.

[@pixiemeg]

I definitely prefer the "soft natural" look on you! I don't know anything about the Kibbe system, but I really like the long soft flowing lines of that silhouette on you. The "gamine" clothes looked nice on you, but a bit restrictive - I agree with what you said about the shapes being too small for you. The "dramatic" clothes, meanwhile, didn't suit your face or demeanor at all - the very bold, structured look on you felt almost "little girl playing dress up" to me.

[@lapislazuliblues5728]

The soft-natural look suits you the most 😍

[@paristexas919]

I quite disagree on this ^^ I think she looks perfect in soft-dramatic outfits!

[@k.285]

I’d confidently say soft natural!! Looks extremely harmonious. You look tall and have larger limbs and hands in my opinion.

[@abra4862]

Before you started the Kibbe series, I thought you were soft natural! That was largely based on hairstyles that look good on you, like the tousled Brigitte Bardot looks. I could see where you would be soft gamine, but I think there’s a lot of overlap and confusion between SN and SG because they both have a mixture of yin and yang, leaning slightly toward yin. As for the face, I think soft naturals can easily have ingenue essence, like Selena Gomez. The outfits in this video confirm my original opinion. Soft natural lines look amazing on you :)

[@milica8979]

I've already commented this, but I don't know if you saw it: I believe you're a Soft Natural. I think your bones are consistently long and wide, and your flesh is consistently soft (which led you to give yourself too many Yin answers). Also, I think your vertical line is moderate: I guessed your height approximately correctly. Your body type reminds me of Aishwarya Rai, especially the shape of your face. Also, I disagree with the opinion that your face is typically Gamine. What I see on your face is the same as the rest of your body: wide jaw line, wide cheekbones, wide nose, soft cheeks and lips, rounded eyes. In my opinion, that's also typical of Soft Natural. I think your face makes you think of Gamines because there's a doll-like roundness to your eyes and lips, but that can actually be the case for any type with lots of softness. I also wouldn't call you any type of Dramatic, because I don't see anything sharp or narrow on you.

[@ThymeofGhost]

I agree with this very well said!

[@user-ul6cs1ln6q]

@Milica I think she is a Flamboyant Gamine or maybe Gamine because her facial features are soft and she has sharp angles in her body. I'm Soft Natural and we look terrible when we make up the waterline, but Gamine types look stunning like that, just like her. Look at Audrey Hepburn and Penelope Cruz, they have similar facial features: long extremities, sharp bone structure, straight shape, large eyes, and wide but fleshy cheeks. Soft Naturals have a blunt bone structure softened by a fleshy body type. Compare Lucy to Aishwarya Rai, Laetitia Casta or Claudia Cardinale. And then to Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy or Penelope Cruz.

[@AnnaGirardini]

I totally agree with your comment. As a soft gamine you have contrasting lines all together, even if you have more "softness" than a gamine. Gamines have interrupted/short lines. Her lines, thought, need space to breathe.

[@planetaryg0]

agreee

[@kidaria1333]

​@@user-ul6cs1ln6q Her facial features aren't gamine at all. They are textbook SN with ingenue essence. Even before I saw her body I thought immedatly she has to be ingenue SN or SD. Gamine is strong opposing yang and yin elements in the different bodyparts itself (also the face). Lucys general frame is sharp yang with yin flesh on top in a harmonious way and not opposed. If you can wear eyeliner and waterline depends from so many aspects in the face like having hooded eyes or not and is not pure answerable with Kibbe ID. Verified SN Goldie Hawn (with ingenue essence in my opinion) and verified SD Sofia Loreen can pull of eyeliner and waterline very well: www.pinterest.ca/pin/382594930830946267/ dawnschickflicks.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-birthday-goldie-hawn.html www.pinterest.ca/pin/335870084716009627/ hbz.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/03/54bc1ecec0311_-_hbz-sophia-loren-20-1964-rexusa-210677bq-xl.jpg Penelope Cruz in her late 20s before operations had a way wider broad yang nose while having delicate yin bones in the overall face and only subtle roundness in her faces through the yin flesh (and she wasn't that round like today probably has subtle filler injections). www.pinterest.ca/pin/75364993752958855/ www.pinterest.de/pin/412923859571172900/ Everything about Lucy's face is wide, round and lush in balance: faceshape, bones, eyes, lips, nose instagram.com/p/BxAJCb7AhT_/

[@Whisperkissper]

Nah nah nah Flamboyant Natural all the way!!! Try those lines especially a elongated T shape. Great video:))

[@wendybone8104]

Soft natural! You looked so comfortable and relaxed in those clothes, more "yourself" than in the other types, if that makes sense.

[@fearnotthedarkness]

soft natural was my favorite. gamine looks definitely made you seem unnecessarily younger, and the dramatic outfits seemed very separate from you. soft natural felt comfortable, was flattering and so cute. theres plenty of people who dont take height into account at all, also.

[@Crewelperleology]

My favourite look on you was the soft dramatic jump-suit, accompanied by the sleek hair and bold red lipstick. The colour and tone of the red dress was perfect for you, but I think a less flowing fabric and cut would suit you better. The slightly messy soft natural hair took away from your lovely face. Softly full hair with clean lines, makes you look so put together.

[@Pliine29]

The soft neutral looks like it’s the perfect mix between your personal style and a flattering silhouette 🙂

[@praveenapillai2172]

You seem like a soft natural with ingenue essence..very similar to selena gomez as someone already mentioned in the comments..I think that comparison really helps in relating more to your specific features.. personally I really felt while you gave your test that you most probably would relate with a soft natural..

[@cincocats320]

After your previous video I thought gamine was the wrong track for you and seeing you in those outfits I feel confirmed that first thought. I'm soft natural and 5'7 height, and when I try on clothes that are gamine or very edgy I look like I'm in costume and it just feels off and I think it seemed the same for you. Being a soft natural is actually good, because you can add in elements of romantic or dramatic. I think that is why vintage feminine styling like you did for your Edwardian and recreate a picture videos suited you so well.

[@eezepeeze]

I definitely don't see gamine in you at all, actually, even the face. You do have a round face, but I cannot see a pixie cut looking good on you. Also, I feel your limbs are too long and willowy for gamine. I feel the soft natural suits you the best, just judging from this video. After looking at celebrity examples online, several of them have rounded faces.

[@sadiemcc9363]

I know nothing about this, but you definitely looked the best in the Soft Nature clothing--on the other hand, you looked amazing in everything. But I think the Soft Natural looks suited you extremely well :)

[@LillyJeanne]

I have absolutely no knowledge on the body types, but in my opinion the second set of outfits had by far the best choices for you.

[@blueskies1014]

You look amazing in the Soft Dramatic outfits! I can understand if it doesn't quite feel like you, but you look gorgeous, sophisticated and powerful as a Soft Dramatic.

[@kristenlien4946]

Soft Natural really suits you!! One tip I’ve learned, a shorter dress or skirt should be tight and the opposite for long so relaxed and flowy. Saved me loads of time as a soft natural!

[@VanCrane]

Yes I’m figuring out the same! In the past I buy Gamine dresses, knee length and with a wide skirt and they don’t work well on me. When I’m wearing midi dresses and skirts everybody gives me compliments and it feels more like me 😊

[@Namerinoyoyo]

soft natural clothes suits you the most imo but soft gamine hair suits you the best I guess it is a face vs body thing again but idk

[@aliseotmane6112]

Big kudos to you diving into this confusing world of kibbe, a fight for precision that still dissolves in the ethereal wholeness of aesthetics. I think you did great!

[@nicolesmith4371]

Such an apt description 😅

[@tomjones2157]

Well it was confusing as she dove into Merriam Style Body Geometry not the Kibbe test, but ok.

[@stefania8708]

The Red dress is Soft Natural, and you look lovely in the other SN outfits as well. You just have a different essence! So you should try to incorporate your vibe and personal style in the unconstructed and flowy lines ❤️

[@shannontaylor8892]

I was going to say this too. The red dress is too flowy for and D types, the material is not weighty or structured enough. It seems a dress suited for the natural types. (although DK himself says clothes don't have a type).

[@katej7135]

I think the contrast and colors of the soft dramatic do not suit you. It makes you look harsh. The soft natural looked more harmonious with your coloring and body type.

[@michellecox4355]

I have no business commenting on the kibbe subject, but your hair and makeup as you sit and narrate is SO GORGEOUS.

[@CarnivalOfTheDamned9]

You look GORGEOUS in literally anything you wear ! ❤️

[@Urukins]

Hah first and second outfits made me think of a relaxed afternoon in Paris grabbing a cappuccino and reading a book haha. I think the soft natural style (sorry purists) really fitted you the best. Overall I think all of the outfits looked really elegant and very casual chic, not a big fan of the blue dress though, maybe because all of the other outfits looked way more comfortable (also colour yeah haha), but it felt more ‘blocky’ and child like when compared to the others.

[@marise-cellardoor2031]

Soft natural or flamboyant natural all the way on you! The Gamine looks looked out of place like costume and the dramatic looks looked to stiff and dry. Can definitely add a gaminey essence to soft natural - I’m stuck between that and gamine myself :’)

[@DawnARchangeL]

you're like Selena Gomez! Soft Natural with an ingunue essence!

[@nour7714]

selena gomez is theatrical romatic kibbe himself correct that information lately

[@ravensweetgrass5052]

I can see how you suit soft natural best, however I also liked the soft dramatic outfits as they complemented your figure, contrasting coloring and beautiful bold facial features. You could definitely pull it off for a formal event. You remind me of Monica Bellucci (soft dramatic) when she dresses for movie awards.

[@elisabethschlarb3059]

Hi Loepsie! I just want to briefly thank you for posting about kibbe body typing as it's through you that I learned about it, and I've found the whole concept extremely helpful in figuring out how to approach personal style and in learning why certain things look great on one person and not so much on another. I think it's a great system, and without your posts on the topic, I don't know if I ever would have found out about it! Lots of love. 😘

[@tammymasson2343]

These two videos were fun and interesting, but honestly, I wouldn't spend a whole lot more time even thinking about it. As is apparent in the theory arena, it is so subjective that there is rarely a unanimous consensus. This goes for other theories as well, like color theory, season theory, etc. I believe we naturally gravitate towards certain styles and colors for a reason. I say just go with what makes you happy and comfortable (not just physically either), regardless of theories, and even regardless of current trends. The vintage dressing movement is going strong, as is history bounding and home sewing to meet individual tastes and interests. I love your channel, you are delightful! 💜

[@habituscraeftig]

I actually thought the dramatic looks were amazing on you, and I was not expecting that at all! The natural looks weren't bad, but I felt you didn't sparkle much in them. I do agree, though, you do not have the typical soft dramatic face (angular with big lips, round eyes, &c.).

[@kristenstocker1381]

omg i'm so happy you made this video! i love seeing the soft natural outfits on you!

[@jinxingxuelang]

You look best in the Soft Natural outfits. Also I feel like they suit you the best in terms of colour

[@anetajezewska-singh4392]

I absolutely love the red dress! Stunning!

[@jliA7]

You look amazing on soft natural lines!! I always thought you are propably a soft natural. I don't think you are too tall to be one, since those lines flatter you the most. After all, this system is suppose to help us find the clothes that look the best on us.

[@madisonrose1010]

I think soft natural was stunning on you! The hair, the makeup, and the clothes all looked very put-together and custom-made for you.

[@alexviolett]

I myself am very new to the Kibbe-verse and have been obsessing over finding people with similar lines (I myself struggle to identify whether I am a pure natural or a soft natural; but definitely in the natural family). After I saw all your looks, I realised that the only ones that literally made me say in my mind "she looks breathtakingly beautiful in these" are the SN outfits. The wide-leg pants instantly make you look so much taller, like a supermodel! And that shirt dress is just like wooow. The red dress also looks very nice because I think it also works well with natural lines. I like the idea of Kibbe trying to bring out your best with what body one already has instead of masking one's "shortcomings" in order to try create the "perfect" body (which I believe is hourglass). I found your illustrations very helpful, thanks a lot!

[@christinevanpatten1278]

This was such a great exercise! The soft gamine/ingenue type essence does suit you but the clothing did feel a little *off*. Slightly too childish or non-congruent with your body. The soft natural didn't look bad but looked very unkept on you. People I think strongly identify with soft natural type really shines in these lines but on you it feels slightly too unstructured and unkept. I really loved the soft dramatic clothes on you. Very stunning and flattering to your figure in all 3 looks though I do agree with you that your essence and facial structure is softer than that. As someone who has been trying to figure this stuff out on myself as well, I feel the struggle you're going through but I really appreciated how you broke down the characteristics of each type and gave examples of looks that really conveyed the type.

[@ryannd9135]

I think Soft Natural looks beautiful on you! Its very flattering and you seem to, almost instinctively, move most comfortably in those outfits.

[@shanathelittle]

I saw the other video and I typed you as a SN in my head, I'm so happy to see that these lines flatter you - the Kibbe system is extremely difficult to judge properly for yourself :)

[@ashleycarroll504]

Not knowing this topic and just reacting to the outfits in this video, I think you looked great in soft natural as long as it has more colors in it. Like your outfit (shirt, hair, makeup) in the half of the screen where you’re actually talking looks very flattering.

[@joannaerhardt7294]

I know exactly what type you are. You are type BEAUTIFUL!! Go on and rock whatever you want to wear because you girl are fabulous!! 😘👍💯💗💗

[@Construyendoaishtar]

Loepsie you look absolutely beautiful in Soft Natural lines! I'm also "too tall" for SN but definitely not a Flamboyant Natural. I think we have similar body types, and people also think I'm shorter than my actual height. It's interesting to me that growing up, I was also drawn to vintage beauty trying to find something that accomodated my features better than the fashion is the early 2000s. Regarding Kibbe: I mostly follow SN lines, but sometimes borrow from outerwear and heavier fabrics of FN

[@hannahgora2495]

I think the Soft Natural was very complementary of your shape and height. Those specific outfits were so good looking on you! They looked fantastic on your figure without discounting your height! Stunning!

[@catinthepeng2686]

I think you're a soft natural too. There's something about you that's so admirable (I've always found that I admire something in the soft natural celebrities... their boldness? cuteness? expressions? the way they are?) watching this video... plus you looked really good in the soft natural clothes.

[@qwertzuiop7578]

I'm so glad you did this video Lucy, that's how I got into the whole Kibbe thing. It's amazing and everything makes so much more sense to me now and I feel more confident in choosing styles or clothes to wear because now I really know what looks good on me!

[@mathisawesome618]

you looked so incredible in the soft dramatic outfits

[@mathisawesome618]

also your bangs in this video look super beautiful

[@insights3140]

I like them all on you. The vertical shapes with symmetry are nice. I think there’s classic balance in your lines. Your frame doesn’t have much width but the natural lines are very flattering on you.

[@Ruknabal]

I really love the soft natural look on you ! I felt like the soft dramatic looks overpowered you

[@EleneDOM]

I found your videos while looking for historical hairstyles, and have been enjoying them a lot! I had never heard of this Kibbe thing, so went to look it up and took a test. Most of the questions made no sense to me! I would describe my body type in a very straightforward way, such as long torso, short legs, wide hips, etc. The descriptions they have are things like "small, very short...."-- how can my very short but very heavy legs be described as "small"-- but they don't fit any other descriptions given? Eeeeee. Then the clothes they came up with for me were the exact opposite of what actually works for me, for example, peplums, which would do nothing but emphasize the width of my hips. Total craziness. Anyway, Loepsie, the point of my rant is that your ideas about fashion and about dressing the way that's right for you make way more sense to me than this Kibbe business does. (BTW my photo comes from an old dance costume, which is what I most usually design.)

[@CorianderCivar]

I love that you listened to the responses from people and didnt let the controversy / contradictory opinions get to you. I think its important to remember none of these people have seen you in person. And the way people look on camera isn't always true to life! People think Rihanna is petite but she's actually above average height! People think Beyonce is a tall power house, but she's very tiny. You get the point!

[@emilyhorner3246]

I think you looked great in all the soft natural looks! :) I'm struggling to know what my kibbe type is too, I'm somewhere between soft gamine & just a gamine- I don't seem to be a typical version of either

[@HallyPottel]

[@TraceeUK]

Oh gosh, that red dress was absolutely stunning!

[@tinathompson1129]

Girl everything looks good on you!

[@beckyfrichek8190]

I am surprised no one has suggested flamboyant gamine, and I would be really curious to see you try those lines as compared to the soft gamine lines, which I agree were too small for you. I do think the natural and dramatic lines both looked good, and whatever type you may be, you look great in those styles, too. I think the "soft" part is what is tripping me up. I would like to see you try Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural and Flamboyant Gamine.

[@vespagirl99]

I agree with many of the other comments, soft natural definitely suited you the most. You also seemed most comfortable in those looks as well. This kibbe world is all new to me, I’m quite curious to explore my own type.

[@marybateman8127]

That black jumpsuit looks amazing on you!

[@marmor3957]

Oh my god, I didn't expect this being so confused. For me, my body type made perfectly sense, if I looked at the test or if I went more intituive with it. This is super interesting xD

[@mealmoth8369]

The soft natural looks reminded me a lot of your "stealing Brigitte Bardot's style" vid... I think if someone were to see you in the styles you put together for soft natural and soft dramatic, they would not think you were shorter than your are, and the emphasis on the vertical line suits you very well. The soft dramatic looks tied in well with your dark hair and red lipstick, reminded me a lot of Eva Green in Casino Royal! One of the most useful tips I ever came across was to dress to one's contrast, value and colour, as described on Imogen Lamport's Inside Out Style blog. She always cautions that these things are pointers to good optical illusions, but one should also dress to one's personality ;-)

[@ande389]

I think you look tall and the soft dramatic looks very nice on you. Maybe there are casual soft dramatic clothes that you would be more comfortable in! Your dramatic hair and makeup looked very much like Audrey Hepburn. Thanks for the fun videos!

[@dreams4tears]

this was so interesting! I hadn't heard of kibbe anything before. The first "soft gamine" looks were so strange. It could have been the short hair but the "soft gamine" looks seemed very alien on you. I do quite like the "soft natural" those are very nora ephron. The soft dramatics were also interesting. Much bolder than I've seen from you. The sleek tugged back hair sat the most alien on you, i think. Between these three I'd guess you're mostly soft natural. But now I def wanna figure out my body type. This seems like it'd be a very helpful exercise for someone doing character work, whether it be writing or film or something. off to do research! Thank you for introducing me to this!

[@redheadlena14]

Watching this, I think the soft natural looks suited your body best. Everything looks good on you, but those outfits seemed proportionate and made your body shine the most. I also feel like this video confirmed that I am a soft dramatic like I've been thinking I am, so thank you for that! :D

[@groovysecondhalf]

I can relate to your confusion! Your hands alone make me think you are not soft natural because they are so slender and elegant. You look gorgeous in the read dress and the outfit you are wearing.

[@lorijacobs7078]

I’d never heard of David Kibbe until your videos about his body typing. Following your lead, I took his test and tried to type my own body, and came up with a similar result: my assigned body type doesn’t meet my preferred style of dressing at all. I’m an extremely short, rounded person, but I feel like I fit a soft classic type much more so than a romantic type. Watching you try on outfits, I felt like those “dramatic” styles really worked beautifully on you, but if they’re not a comfortable fit for your personality, then it’s all nonsense in the end, isn’t it? The Kibbe body typing is just another way to try to fit an infinite variety of people into a limited number of categories, and that’s just not possible. I found an blog entry about fitting petite women in the Kibbe system, and while you’re not short, I think it pertains to all women. I think (at least I hope) you’ll find it informative - if you haven’t read it already. Here’s the link: www.petitepoire.ca/style/petite-body-types/kibbe-body-types-for-petites.html Remember, in the end, clothing and fashion exist to help you express yourself, not in the way someone else depress, but in the way that makes YOU happiest. (And by the way, who’s to say that a 5’8” woman can’t be famine if that’s what makes her happy? Audrey Hepburn, who keeps being held up as the intimate Gamine, was 5’7”.)

[@adelweisz]

this is such a fascinating exercise! i think the fit of soft dramatic is spot on perfect for your body type. however, it does not match your personality type (from what it seems to be in these videos). i can see why you'd wear those sorts of things to events where you want to feel strong and confident because they do give that impression. this isn't to say your personality doesn't come across as strong or confident, rather i would use other words to describe you before using those. (oh, i continued watching and you came to that conclusion yourself that it doesn't quite match your personality.) it's like... use your soft dramatic clothes here as a base because they really do fit your body, but add little hints of soft natural through makeup/hair/jewelry/colors to bring in your personality.

[@adelweisz]

having done more research, 1000% you are not any of the romantics (you're less curvy/soft and i think they have a short vertical?), gamines (they have a short vertical, you don't), or naturals (you're not wide/broad in your shoulders or waist or elsewhere). that leaves dramatic or classic. you're definitely not pure dramatic (you're curvier). you're unlikely soft classic (because of height - i think they have a shorter vertical line, though not a SHORT vertical line). so... soft dramatic or dramatic classic. DC can become easily overwhelmed by looks that are too intricate, bold, or loose. they look best when hair is tidy, not flowing - easily looks unkempt rather than carefree. i think that's true of you (and mean no offense, i'm a soft classic and it's incredibly true of me - i go from classy to bog witch with little effort). DC also looks best when makeup is balanced (not one area being heavier or brighter than another). tailored clothes in moderate weight fabrics with waist emphasis. can handle some amount of boldness/intricacy/looseness - pick one (bold or intricate or loose) and apply to one or two details of an outfit. zoe saldana is an example of DC (says the internet). she tends to enjoy soft natural looks and is sometimes good at adding elements of SN to DC - might be something worth looking into!

[@shesaysdisco]

I cannot speak from a Kibbe perspective, but I thought many of these outfits looked great on you, regardless of type. My absolute favorite was the high-waisted flowy brown pants with white blouse; you looked so amazing in that!

I took the test myself then out of curiosity I had someone else take the test for me. I got soft dramatic but my friend scored me as a soft classic so I have no clue what my body type is lol

[@diamond19977]

I definitely liked soft natural the most. You looked super pretty.

[@sugarhardlyknowher]

The black dress in soft dramatic looked extremely flattering on you!

[@sarahchaprobin32]

So surprised to learn that you are 5' 8"! I had always thought of you as something like 5' 2" or 5' 3". I really like the soft draped long lines of the Soft Natural on you. The red dress looked superb too. I am going to go and play with the Kibbe test now for myself. I'd never heard of it before.

This was really helpful, just listening to you parse over all the material on the types you had digested. I think I pencil out as Soft Dramatic, though I could also be a Soft Natural because I have a proportioned figure, if not exactly athletic. But your comments about the way a type FEELS resonated with me, and I think going forward, I feel much more like a Soft Dramatic type. Thank you!

I think you looked best in soft natural outfits💕

[@skristine]

I know nothing about Kibbe, but i loved the soft natural looks!! i thought they were really flattering on you! :) love your videos!

[@MaDBri11iAnt]

Omg! You looked Beautiful with a bob 😍 but when you showed the soft natural looks, just WOW! Loved those outfits on you.

Hi, I think you’re a Flamboyant Gamine regardless of your height. You just have that quality coming through 💜

[@Alibodyrus]

I think Soft Gamine looked the best for your face (with a few tweaks here and there - the first shirt with the tapered trousers, for example) and the Soft Natural for the body. The dresses looked off for all types (sorry). The pale green dress looks more appropriate for Soft Natural if you change the belt.

[@chelseajackman7730]

My honest opinion is that you have a universal beauty that looks amazing in literally ANYTHING.

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

You asked for honesty. I watched the video where you made the mediæval fitted kirtle in a grey wool. That shape, colour and fit looked fabulous on you, much !pre so than any of the outfits you wore for this video. Whi,e possibly impractical for daily wear (or not) it was the best look I have ever seen you wearing. You are tall and slim enough to carry off the long, clean, fitted, graceful lines and you have never looked better. Just an observation.

[@GiaTheSweetPotato]

I thought the first 2 soft dramatic outfits looked amazing on you!

[@delll372]

i already like your current style and wardrobes :) it's always delightful to watch your videos 💕

[@pamelavera2247]

When I first saw you I thought Soft Natural. Seeing you in those outfits just confirmed it!

[@sylvesteralexander2]

you're style is so nice, I loved all of these outifts! I'm convinced you can pull off anything :)

[@mce1939]

Girl, you look so gorgeous in anything, you could literally wear a paper bag and still look amazing! Sounds like a tutorial waiting to happen :) :) For these purposes, I liked you in both the soft natural and soft dramatic looks. You looked so lovely in all of those outfits.

[@mianutt]

I loved that first soft gamine look on you, but overall I think most of the soft natural styles really suited you. The red dress was pretty, but I'd say the fabric was not nearly stiff and structured enough for dramatic (even soft dramatic) and that flowy-ness is more of a natural element anyways. I don't think it really matters if you nail down a type or not. Honestly you could wear soft-gamine with some more natural lines/elements in there to accommodate your long arms/legs (draped fabric, unstructured, full length, wide ends). Or you could wear soft natural with some of the lines of soft gamine (smaller details/print/buttons, fitted at the ends, slightly cropped hems). I really love Merriam Styles take on body typing because she is informative but simple and really makes it about YOUR set of lines and what works best for those.

[@anonymousperson4214]

Your first attempt at a SN outfit was actually very SD, and looked great on you! Your bones are really not blunt enough to be a natural (really! Look at how sharp the ends of your collarbones are, and how very narrow your hands and feet are). And now that I've seen you in more varying clothes, I think you are a soft dramatic with some more Gamine elements (that look more pronounced because you are so thin). I hope this helps!

[@abra4862]

When it comes to height, I think it is relative to your genetics. If 5’8’’ is average in the Netherlands, you could definitely be soft natural. I’m 5’8’’ and 100% certain I’m a soft classic. By my technical height, I should be a more yang type. But my vertical line (size of my head compared with body) is average-short. I may be tall by Kibbe standards but not by the standards of my African/Native American ancestry. I believe the most accurate results come from assessing your appearance as a whole, not getting too hung up on measurements that differ so much from place to place.

I descided to look threw Aly Arts pinterest board... looked threw all clothes recommended for the 13 bodytypes and then made my own pinwall and pinning all clothes I simply like and think look good on me. It doesn't help for figuring out what type I am, but it is a huge inspiration in finding out what style in clothes I want to wear and try out!
