You are the most accurate and understanding of kibbe type channel!!

FINALLY someone that compared dramatic classic to soft dramatic, this is why you are one of my favorite kibbe channels. Honestly this has been an (insane) challenge for me as i have been trying to figure out my kibbe for years - I'm 1, 68cm and people very often perceive me as taller than i am (and i mean OFTEN okay this is something that happened even before I knew aboht kibbe) so when i first got in touch with kibbe studies and such i figured i woukd be in the dramatic family (but couldn't be pure dramatic because i need waisy emphasis on my outfits or I look like a bizarre square/baloon), but sometimes the very flashy and more yin recommendations of SD sometimes felt off (i wasnt sure) so i ended up on dramatic classic which made sense to me in terms of style (wearing smaler and more geometric things) however it always bothered me the recommendation on DC said waist emphasis wasnt a must and well, the height/vertical issue - but i kept on DC cause i figured ..okay it's not gonna always go by the book and be perfect.
And then kibbe says that anyone taller than 1, 67 is wother D, SD or FN and MAN I'm back to square one LOL

Mar West used to wear specially made platforms to significantly increase her height, they would be added on to her own shoes to give appearance of being taller. It's unclear whether Kibbe knows this. So her height might be more of a n unintentional red herring

🌹These essence videos are really helping me more and more! Really looking forward to seeing more videos about the next kibbe type :)

[hope]

Thank you, Sophia. I was first "misdiagnosed" as a dramatic classic, based on my pics and answers on the test. But even that was mixed, equal amount of A answers and C answers, and some D and E (some face features and prominent body features). Thank you for all your help.

OMG!! i was always confused about whether i was dramatic classic or soft classic due to being on the slimmer side but im certain now that i’m a soft classic

[Idkgurl]

🌹🌹 What do you think of the theory that essence is actually supposed to reflect your personality and not just how others see you?

[dianabanana]

🌹idk how else to put it, but I trust your videos haha

[RosePierce.]

Im glad you actually give out accurate information remember that confirming I was a soft dramatic was a bit of a struggle due to all the waves of misinformation out there but when I look at my pictures I literally can’t see how I could be anything else(especially with my height of 5, 9 or 176 cms)

[emilyawood]

Exactly my two sides, reserved but still a diva lol

[annalynn]

🌹uh-huh, mysterious and reserved, not a diva

[kadsenvieh]

very good video
i am 169 cm tall and also thought i was dramatic classic
when I found out that from 167 cm you can only be D SD or FN I thought I could only be D because I have small breasts and narrow shoulders
but when I tried the lines I quickly realized that there was no way I could be a D
Far from it
i have soft features and flesh over on my angular bones and a very pronounced hip
ergo SD
when i tried the SD lines everything suddenly fell into place and i looked amazing

🌹 I’m just gonna say it! I don’t think Kibbe met many tall women in his life 😅

Great video though 😊

[queendiane]

Thank you for this clear explanation ❤🌹

[selinaaylin]

I still don’t see Tracee Ellis Ross as a FN. I was so sure I’m a flamboyant natural as well (I have a very similar body to her, I’m also mixed and have curls) but I feel bit her and I are leaning much more SD. I’ve been wearing FN lines so much and it just doesn’t seem right. Especially now that I’m overweight. I’m so confused 😢😂

[gglmr]

I like this video, it's good for those starting out who don't know. What I want to know as a SD what do we wear casually? Etc? It's not feasible to wear a cocktail dress with high heels daily 😊. I would like to know about low key looks for SD. Do you think bohemian style could work as such? Thanks for the video!

I love the kibbe system, and it has really helped me, When I first started to look into this system years ago, I was so confused, as well as hurt. Im 5'9 and now that I know it, obviously a soft dramatic, but getting to that point took me a long time and I had to deal with some misconceptions about myself and also with the way that others may perceive me. Words like large, angular, masculine, big, undelicate, etc. where such hard things for me to get past. I dont have large feet for my height, I dont look un symmetrical, I dont have a large sharp nose, and the list goes on. Some of this denial as to what my shape was is because of those harsh words and the way that they made me feel. In my head being those things made me unattractive and unfeminine. I want to say that that is totally untrue! First off, your shape and size does not make you either attractive or unattractive. Understanding how clothes fit on your frame to help you make the most of your uniqueness has nothing to do with that. Secondly those descriptive words are relative. I dont have a large sharp nose but my nose is longer than the nose of someone who is sitting on a smaller frame. The overall size of the nose is the same proportion on both of our faces but because my face is larger in scale then my nose is as well. It would look very odd if it wasn't. The biggest thing that helped me to find my own type was to finally understand what this system was really used for. It is a system designed by a stylist who understood how clothing was made and how to tailor it to fit the many different bodies out there. A good example would be to take a taller woman, an average height woman, and a shorter woman to a jean store. If they all bought the exact same jeans, the odds would be that they wouldn't fit 2 of the 3 women. Why? Because the leg length, the crotch length, the rise of the jeans allow the jeans to fit a certain set of measurements. A taller woman might have a 32 inch inseam, an average woman a 30 inch inseam, and a shorter woman a 28 inch inseam.
Each of the body types has to make adjustments to their clothing to make them fit their shape, the eaiest way to do this is to find clothing that already gets closer to fitting them. Example: soft dramatics have a long frame so they need to accommodate for that. Wearing longer clothing helps keep their frame proportional and makes clothing easier and more comfortable for them to wear. Soft Dramatics have curve, curve is interesting in the kibbe world because all woman have curve but the types of curve they have is what defines curve for the kibbe system. If you have curve that extends to the side of your frame, I call this side boob, then this is the type of curve that needs a different accommodation than normal and kibbe states this as curve accommodation. In this case when you shop for clothing you will do better with clothing that allows more room in the breast/hip area. If you dont do this your clothing will pull awkwardly and not fit you. You will constantly be adjusting your clothing on your frame. The whole kibbe system is designed to help you shop for clothing that makes you shine. It also helps you choose clothing that feels good and keeps your uniqueness at front stage. We are not cookie cutters and we shouldn't look like them. I love the freedom to embrace my height, my curve, and even my larger frame. When I figured this out, I found a way to feel truly beautiful for the first time in my life. So thank you kibbe and all the other people who have invested the time to help me get to this point.
Interestingly: my mother is a FN, my daughters are FN, and R, and my daughter in law is a TR. Going shopping with all these women used to be a nightmare for me, and now I have so much fun!! Instead of trying to fit into clothes that would look great on one of them I try on clothes that look great on me and if I find an outfit that fits the lines of one of them I very happily put it in their pile for them to try on!

Feature for Soft Classics, please. Thank you for sharing these videos and information and for other Kibbe Body Types and Kitchener Face Essences in the future.

🌹 nice video - I’m a sd and I love it! Can you show some modern trend outfits to be interpreted for sd?

[annyphoenix]

🌹thank you for this video, I am now positive I'm a Soft Dramatic. I'm on the shorter side so I was a bit hesitant, but it fits! I can't wear a straight line, I look like I'm in a night-shirt. Even my minimalist husband has recently told me "you need bold jewelry, the dainty stuff is invisible, but the bold things others might wear for a night out look like an everyday piece on you." Ever since embracing that, i look much more myself. The same with dramatic wrap-dresses. I look weird in jeans and a T-shirt, but i don't look overdressed in a midi A-line dress at the grocery store.
