5-htp user wut ?? Do u even know what hijab is ? Not all hijabies wear miles of fabric , we wear everything that everyone else wear, we only cover our hair and curves ,basically what makes us attractive in a sexy way , and we still aim to look beautiful while respecting our religion .
The best thing about the Kibbe types is how many women I’ve heard say that they finally “get” their bodies and stop fighting to change the unchangeable. I used to hate being so fleshy, even when I weighed below average. Now I can stop wanting to have someone else’s body and focus on perfecting my own shape and style.
Same, I spent so long being jealous of pear shaped girls and hated my romantic shape, that made me ashamed of my body, and always felt like I needed to cover up with frumpy clothes and never understood why I even when I was an adult still didn't feel grown or beautiful. But once I found out my body was just different but still dynamic I felt SO much better.
I'm a soft dramatic and I almost killed myself trying to get rid of my thighs as a teenager. Became anorexic and shit. I still don't like my thighs but I know why they never left
@@northstar2621 Fertile women are supposed to have some fat around thighs and hips. :D Don't be hard on yourself and learn to love yourself. I'm sure a lot of women would love to have your figure.

I was so mad that I wasn't sharp and boney, I thought it was because I was fat, even when I was skinny. When I developed and ED and went almost underweight I still couldn't see my bones the way I wanted to, like that slender dry look models have. Now I understand that I am a soft gamine verging on romantic and that I will never look like that because my body is just built that way
There is something i don’t understand: you can have a certain body type (romantic let’s say) but a certain face that doesn’t necessarily match the romantic type. That’s why a lot of people don’t know exactly which type they are.
I heard that David Kibbe has dropped using the face now when typing? It took me forever to work out my type because my face doesn’t match. I think I’m a SN, but my face is narrow, which is not very natural.
@@kaylanewis5392 the beauty standard of blonde hair existed before Marilyn was even born. Marilyn is not even a natural blonde, the industry made her dye her hair blonde
that picture you used of marilyn monroe standing on the beach made me feel so good about the way i look bc i’ve finally seen a beautiful picture that looks like me 🥺
I am a romantic body type and honestly realizing this has really helped with my body image. I am “self aware “ now and I don’t have this ridiculous ideas on how i should look. I used to think i was a gamine so i very bothered with my roundness and I didn’t understand that was how i was built.
I love this system! It makes you appreciate instead of hiding. I was never able to fit trendy clothes and many say I look vintage. When I learned about the types it all made sense.
I would love a video on the faces of the body types without makeup, it makes it clearer for example how someone looks sharp and another looks soft. I think makeup really can fools us and then when we compare ourselves to someone with makeup it can seem like we don't fit any body type.
I agree with you. A TR myself, I sometimes wear SG lines because they suit me as well (just in a different way), that's how similar these two types are! Also, Merriam recommends doing so. 🤗
Mm21 probably SG because TR tend to be pretty certain that they are. If a blended eyeshadow looks bad under your lash line when doing eye makeup, that is TR. TR will be called “tiny, skinny” a lot when wearing many types of clothes, but once seen in a swimming suit or maybe shorts then it’s noticeable to people that we’re actually much more curvy and fleshy in the legs and butt than expected, and we gain weight first on the legs and butt and last in the waist and chest area, our stomach always stays small. Whereas SG legs stay pretty small but can gain weight in the mid section much easier than TR. Hope this helps!
Yes please clarify between Soft Gamine and Theatrical Romantic. I used to think I'm SG but I realized I only look good with TR hair. As of clothing I look good in both, but higher neckline works well because I'm very short at 150 cm (tiny bit less than 5ft).
That’s the reason why me, a romantic body type, I’ve always fought my body type that nowadays is not considered the best. Nowadays we have always to study ourselves more carefully than other body types in order to find the best image solutions. But, after all, who cares? Body positivity implies to accept ourselves even though fashion doesn't support us.
My husband used to call me his “squishy” when we were dating. I’m a Romantic in every way except my height. I’m not petite. I’m not super tall either. More classic in size, but Romantic in fleshy hour glass figure, rounded features. I think height is very confusing in kibbe typing.

I am soft natural, so I'm strong and soft at the same time... I also owe it to Aly that I'm coming to terms with my body shape more and more each day. I love her input! :)
Because there are a few inaccuracies. For one, Charlize Theron and Mila Kunis are no way in hell Romantics. Plus there are confusions between typing the face vs typing the body.
@@AxelSituation maybe I missed the video but I haven't seen anywhere where she says they're romantic even in her previous videos. And If she did all that I can chalk it up to is a simple mistake, she is currently the only youtuber I've come across who explains this well
Thank you for clarifying some of these types. I feel I'm still building the muscle to recognize the types and little by little I've become more observant of people/types around me. thank you!
i just did a quiz and got this result. came to this video to learn more and i think it matches me well! my limbs aren't long, my bones are wider, and my muscles are sloped and soft. from my face, to my arms, legs and hips, i've never had a defined, angular look. when i was younger, i really wanted my mum's super sharp jawline since she always commented on how round my face was. i was taught that if i lose weight, i would look sharper. after losing weight, i did get a little definition in my cheekbones and jaw, but my whole body is still very soft and rounded looking. from the way you describe romantics: juicy, lush, feminine, this actually made me feel good about myself. it's validating to hear that my body type is feminine, lush and sexy, since growing up, i thought only skinny, waifish women were sexy.
Thank you so much for this!!! I thought I was just fat. Oh my god I've hated my body since I was a kid. This has made me fall in love with being a romantic body type. I have the body type of classical paintings, divine sexy goddess women, the divine feminine personified.
Oh my god I finally know what my body type is... after all these years of saying I’m overly squishy!! I knew it was something different bc I’m not even overweight 😔
I envy the ethereal suerfemi one 'squishiness' of romantics. I k ow I am more thick heavy masculine and sturdy than this but in this way I feel like so is beyonce but theist her as romantic! I am still in the bewildered stage of this lol. Congrats on being a beautiful super feminine romantic !
Thank you for posting this. I hope that more ladies who have the romantic physical type learn about this and have fun dressing in a way that is flattering to them rather than feeling that they have to follow fashion trends strictly.
I have learned so much about my body and the clothes that fit me thanks to your videos ! Since I discovered I was a romantic type, I worked harder to get the body that I want because I realised it has a real "potential" if I can say that (I love and admire Marilyn Monroe for instance) and now I feel more confident and it's partly thanks to you ! So thank you so so much and keep up the good work :)
I have a little tip, I think this can work for all the people that are not too familiar with the types (you don't have any predominant idea) make a board on pinterest with the next categories: t-shirts, tops, skirts and pants, dresses, undies and swim, coats, blazers and suits, sweaters and crochet, sports attire, accessories. Spend some time analyzing things that you feel drawn to or things that you always wanted to wear. Having somebody to tell you your type seems tempting, but they need to see you in person and can maybe truly assist you with some ideas about accessories and hairstyles, you already know what clothes you should be wearing because you have data of how you feel when you wear them. I did this a few months ago and is theatrical romantic everywhere you look (with my style) but I just confirmed I'm TC. Give it a shot.
I’m just confused because I’m overweight and I can’t tell what my shapes are. I’m just fat. Maybe a video on overweight bodies just so we can see what we look like with extra weight as that body type?
AdamarisCraftsss yes, there are variations in every kibbe type and naturally where weight is gained and it’s shape would vary too. Just like how more than one type has an hourglass it might lead to more confusion
Think about where your weight carries, and where it doesn’t. I’m a heavy girl, but my waistline doesn’t hold weight, which creates a very dramatic hourglass shape, which is very romantic. Also try going backwards from the advice back to the types. If you feel more confident and flattered by sharp and “masculine” clothing, even with your weight, you’re probably more dramatic. If very feminine and soft clothing make you feel more confident, you probably lean more romantic.

Frani Matthews have some really good videos too
Hi Aly, 🙂 Could you please do a video on the bodytypes for plus size women? i.e. not necessarily obese, but e.g. BMI "overweight" range (but you could also do another video for "obese" women & even one for body builders 🤔). I'm fairly certain that I'm a dramatic classic from the test & from what lines & looks suit me best, but I'm ~10kg over my healthy weight range, (imagine Diane Kruger if she gained 20kg in DC areas), so obviously I have extra flesh; which could distort results for many. It would be good to get a few visual representations as well as descriptions. 🙂
As a soft classic, i could say that the makeup itself can say a lot whether a person is soft classic or romantic body type - cz whenever i wear much shimmer it looks awful on me whereas matte foundation powdery face looks amazing on me with kindoff dewy matte lip and a touch of shimmer just on the cheekbone and down the bridge of the nose. If i was a romantic i would never look good with matte foundation - it would look very heavy on me.
Thank you so much for your series on body types. As a petite lady with an hourglass figure understanding the Romantic Body Type has been so useful, I have gained lots of really useful tips from clothes buying to selecting hair styles. I agree with other comments and everything seems to make perfect sense now.
I would love you to continue this series! It’s very helpful to me. I would especially love you to make the next video about comparing classic vs other types. xx
Any opinons about this appreciated, I'm confused! MM in the white swimsuit pic, seems to be at her heaviest. I heard that pics of her looking more heavy, were taken during her pregnancy. Check out how most pictures of her in a bikini she appears to be less curvaceous. Notice how she poses, hip out, giving herself more curves. She wore corsets in movies, giving her a more hourglass appearance. Sometimes she looks a little padded too. She definitely had curves but they seem so much softer to me in most bikini pics.
When I look at pictures of her she looks really slim! When reading a book about her I learnt that those white bathing suit pictures were from her earlier days, when she was around 20. When I've actually watched a film of hers she appears slim to me - although she has womanly curves she is still slim in comparison to the trend these days being extreme hourglass figures. That's just what I think about. I think because she is known for her "curves", when people choose to use her as an example they will choose the pictures where she appears curviest.
@@tinachristoxo I agree! I wish that I could post the white bikini pic, she is not posing with her hips out, she looks very skinny, not fleshy at all, small boned. Her waist does not even appear to be as small because her hips look so slim!
Would love to see a comparison between Theatrical Romantic, Soft Natural and Soft Gamine / Soft Dramatic. I definitely feel like a lot of people get confused with these due to the mix of yin and yang
It resonated with me when you compared Romantic to Classic and spoke about disproportion! I am 5'3, measurements 40, 31, 39 one deep dimple in one cheek, and one crooked tooth, and upturned eyes. I feel like my face is not proportionate at ALL lol. I love it! Hehehe
Ohh no no no lol. None of those 3 things (crooked tooth, dimple, one upturned eye) would affect your body type. By proportionate she means how your fat and muscle sits on your body, and also by bone structure (not teeth).
this is brilliant, and yes please continue this is really interesting, I personally dont have a lot of confusion about my body type in the past i was not sure if I was a romantic or a soft gamine but I understood that am a romantic a long time ago and this video helped conform it, great job as always.
I used to think I was romantic but now I’m pretty sure I’m a soft natural. 💕 What made me realize I was wrong is that clothes for romantics make me look bulky and I feel like styles for naturals enhance all the good parts and make me look effortless. That’s what I love about this system. I feel like it’s an important thing to understand about yourself. I can’t believe every woman on earth doesn’t know about it.
I am so happy to be a romantic!! All of these kibbe body types are so beautiful!!! I love how some are talk and lean and chic and others are small and soft and fleshy. Its such a beautiful world with beautiful women isnt it.
Can you please make a “get ready with me” video and just go through your choice of hairstyle/color, makeup, and clothing based on your Kibbe type? I think that would be so fun to watch!
I think you should do a video on two body types that are VERY similar to each other & compare them. cause (i feel like) there’s still some confusion in the air. But i love your body type videos, keep em coming! ❤️
Jada Pinkett Smith is not a TR. Merriam Style talks about it in one of her videos. I think she classifies her as a Dramatic Classic. I agree with her. Love the rest of the video, though.
I love these videos! I would love to see a professional style guide for each type (e.g. suits, blouses, work dresses and skirts, etc.). On another note, Jada Pinkett seems like a gamine to me. If you look at photos of her from the 90s, I would say she looks like a gamine
Wow, Aly. You look very fresh and glowing. 😊 Thank you for a interesting video. I'm a Theatrical Romantic myself and the difference between TR and Romantic was very helpful.
Hello I'm a soft gamine and always feel like I look too childish when I cover myself and too vulgar if I show some skin. Could you please dedicate a video for how gamines (soft and flamboyant included) can dress in a way that'll make us look like women instead of girls?
I'm probably a flamboyant gamine and I have similar problems. Many clothes make me look like a child, womanly clothes look weird, they say FG can dress fun but if I do I often end up looking like a teen... it's so frustrating! But I get the best results when I use the "rules" as guidelines and then I touch it up using my intuition. I also think I work very well with busy patterns on the geometrical side.
Try clothes with a little more fittedness with some rounded lines in your overall look. I have a friend who's a gamine that used to wear oversized clothes but now looks more her own kind of beautiful with more fitted garments that drape around her form. Also try blocking
Omg yeesss As a FG i have the exact same problem and even worse coz SG are more feminine than Fg and FG and G are to me like the most " childish cutesy little boys " looking women so it's so hard for us to look like " a real woman " without being seen like trying too hard :/
It seems that not everyone agrees with Merriam Style, another body type channel, but she has several videos about Gamines and how to look like an adult. She suggests short lines and fitted clothes at the joints (shoulders, wrists, waist, knees, ankles).
@@rdpcl I like Merriam Style's point of views. She questions things and comes up with creative solutions. She has a video about Brigitte Bardot and "gamine + natural", which was very interesting for me personally (I kinda relate to that analysis)
Hey Aly! What do you think Dorothy Dandridge is? After watching pictures of her, she has exactly the type of style I want to achieve, glamorous but more simple than Marilyn monroe. I do think she is Theatrical Romantic but I saw on that some people think that she is Soft Classic.
Definitely a TR. I can see why she might be mistaken for a SC but I think the main difference here is glam. It’s as though glam was made for her if that makes sense. I tend to find glam as the distinguishing factor that marks a TR.
Yay!! I love that you’re starting with Romantics 🥰 I could have used this video a few months ago when I was stuck between Romantic and Soft Classic lol
She also says "chicks" instead of "cheeks"... I always laugh watching her videos, it's so funny. By the way, I'm not an English native speaker myself, so I'm not judging in no way! 😊
Aly, you're so good at explaining everything! Thank you for all the work you do. I'd be interested in what piercings/tattoos are good for each body type :)
I think the diff between a sn and a romantic is that sn have bigger facial and body bones, including wider shoulders. I think sn tend to have bigger cheekbones, although their cheeks may still be rounded and soft. Sn can have an hourglass figure and look soft, so I think that is why they can be confused with r. Sometimes if I cannot tell whether someone is sn or r, I try to picture the person in romantic makeup and clothes, vs. sn makeup and clothes. I also do the reverse when I cannot tell whether an outfit is r or sn, because they oftentimes look similar to me. Some dresses, especially if they are long and flowy, look either r or sn to me. But I will picture myself or a famous sn in them, and that helps me to tell the outfit is actually sn or r. sewmykibbe is a website that has great ideas for clothing the body types. I would love to have someone who is really good at it type me. I am pretty sure I am a sn, but it would be interesting if they typed me differently lol. I am not an expert, but I hope that helps! :-)
I love this video! Well, I love all of your videos on body types 🥰🥰 I've been explaining people the differences between the types and the fact that we have to pay attention to detail to understand our type. For example, I am a Romantic and I had people telling me they are Romantics when they are a SG or a SN. For example, a very popular confusion is having a small waist. Most girls will think they have a small waist because their waists are small in cm but it's about how small it is in proportion to your hips. My waist as a Romantic is wider and bigger in cm than other types but my hips are super big so my waist is super small in proportion. Also, having big rounded hips is another confusion. It is not the same to have wide angular hips or wide hips as having extremely soft and curvy hips. I think the body flesh test is one of the most confusing for most of the people because they gain weight and they think they're curvy or maybe they think they're on the dry side because they lost weight 🤣 So I guess it is difficult for most of the people to understand those concepts and that's why there's so much confusion. Kisses and hugs 😘😘
Finally I have found my body type, not just petite, short and round lol. But a romantic with soft features and curves. The wording alone makes appreciate my body a bit more. Thanks!
I think it would be great if you made some kind of list of women's body types. For example celebrities, girls from instagram so that the acces to many photos would be easy. It would help me to learn about Kibbe's body types, because sometimes I simply don't know if my thinking is right. Of course you can find something alike on the internet but often I'm not sure if I can trust them, or it differ from your judgment and I think you have a really good and trained eye to that. It wouldn't have to be much just a list without description, so I could train my eye as well. P.S. I really like your channel and I'm glad I found it couple years ago. 😘 I am in my 20s now. When I started to watch you I was just beginning to find my style in a conscious way. Wondering what is good for me and why something is not good at all. Thanks to you I have learned that beauty is not one-dimensional and you can find it in every body and enchance it you have right tools to do it.
I know I'm Soft Dramatic now, but at first I was confused about being Soft Dramatic or Soft Natural. I realized that my facial proportions were too large and round to be natural, my facial features didn't have the bluntness that my mom, a Soft Natural had. I was anorexic at the time of finding your videos, so in my mind, my hips were so narrow and my shoulders were so big, but like another commenter on here, that was body dysphoria confusing me. So Soft Dramatic and Natural may be another helpful video to make, especially when someone's main point of reference is being tall.
So nice to hear you are doing well! :) SD is big girl, very flashy, curvy, lush, soft, feminine, often true, large hourglass. Sofia Loren, Raquel Welch, Anita Ekberg. SN is smaller in size than SD, usually shorter, has larger bones/frame and is more toned, strong and fit looking. Naturals are athletic girls, strong body frame, larger bones, toned flesh. SN would be more feminine and defined, more curvy and 'padded' but still not as lush as SD. Katy Perry , Heidi Klum, Rene Zellweger. Hope this helps. All the best! :)
The way you describe things, it’s like I immediately know what you mean, even though I would have never of thought to describe whatever it is that way. I just love it.
Thank you and good job! It's a great idea for a kibbe serie. Waiting for the classic and the dramatic one to see if I am really sure of my kibbe body type.
After years of thinking I was a romantic body type i finally realise that I was actually a soft dramatic body type. Such nuances actually do make a significant change to one's style..
I absolutely love you and your channel! You are just so beautiful and adorable. The most important thing you always say is that no one needs to 'correct' anything about our facial features. This is so important - we are told (men and women) that we have a big nose, too small of eyes, too thin of lips, etc and how to 'fix' this problem. But, you teach that we can use our features to make us unique and still be beautiful in our own way. As a person with very high cheekbones and wide spaced eyes, I appreciate this. Much love to you Aly! EDIT: Thank you for this video - I finally realise that I'm a Romantic, not a Theatrical Romantic or a Soft Dramatic :)
Classic definitely deserves to be covered. Idk if I'm a dramatic classic or flamboyant natural. It would help to hear clarification on naturals and classics. love your videos btw Alyona!
Love the way she just, gets into it.😊 I wonder if it means anything to be , constantly, drawn to the style of a certain type. I've always been drawn to gamine style, even before I knew it was 'gamine'. But my height puts me firmly in flamboyant natural.
@@jenellearmstrong6306 Jenelle Armstrong Lucky, you! My body is a mix of rounded features and blunt features. My face is actually a lot like the top right @ 9:45, with rounder eyes and a rounder jaw, like Judy Garland. But I'm very tall, so that makes me a Natural. But I 'feel' gamine.
Great video! It took me such a long time to figure out that I was a soft classic! I went from soft gamine, until in realized those styles looked too small and separate from me, to romantic/theatrical romantic, until I realized I didn’t look so great in overly ornate and ruffly feminine styles... and finally when I thought about the clothes I gravitate towards naturally (or the line of clothes) I realized I was a type of classic, and the romantic elements were just an undercurrent. I think seeing what you gravitate to naturally sometimes helps with figuring it out. ☺️
Hi aly can you please talk about hair length and face shapes please , I want know why some poeple look better with short hair and on the other hands some looks better with longer hair .
I’d like to thank you Aly, i e-mailed you like a year ago or so and you helped me to classify my body type as romantic. Before that I was extremely confused. After learning, It became so much easier to choose my clothes and styling! Keep up with ur content!
Interesting as always. I think very strongly that I am theatrical romantic and even more with how you compared all the types with romantic here. I'd love for the continuation of this series.
1st - Let's hear it for Theatrical Romantics!! 🙌🏽 🚩 🎉 2nd, Finding out what I am is soooo liberating!!! My wardrobe needs to be sacked, but now I know why. THANK YOU for your specialized knowledge!!
This video was so helpful, I was always confused about which body type I was , I wasn’t sure if I was romantic because I am pear shaped, but I am completely Yin and soft, so now I know I am a romantic (: it was very helpful to compare all the body types like this
Can you do body types when they work out because I think it gets confused on the yang part. And I think it would be very interesting to see what each body types would look like.
Pleeeease write,publish a print book already. Kibbe's Metamorphosis is out of print and we need you. I feel more confident in applying art principles as opposed to any attempt at Instagram or porno chic. Willing to support a GoFundMe.
this makes a huge difference. I went through about 5 other body types and I completely ignored romantic because I didn't believe it could be marilyn monroe looking.. I but us side to side and we have similar measurements
I'm still stuck between Romantic and Soft Dramatic, anyone have any insight? :) I'm taller, around 5 feet 7 inches. hourglass figure, my facial features are small nose, round eyes, larger lips. I feel like my body type and facial features match Marilyn Monroe's type but I'm taller!
The height limit for Romantic is 5"5. Also, Kibbe does not use the face anymore for the bodytyping, but it can be used after you know your type for neckline or jewellery modification if needed (ex.: your face is more yin or yang than your body) Edit: SDs have long vertical wich is you most likely have because of your height, you can't look petite. You can also be SN, if you think you are soft type, they can have a short to moderate vertical up to 5"7! I recommend you to join Stricly Kibbe facebook group or r/Kibbe reddit group. We can help you out there if you need
@@lux3370 Actually, it is possible to look shorter than one's height, just like it's possible to look taller than one's height. Example: I have a cousin who's 5'10 and she looks about as tall as me and I'm approx 5'5.
My take is that an SD is mainly dramatic with touches of romantic - it might be a voluptuousness, or rounded facial features (eyes or lips or cheeks) that make you say I’m not strictly dramatic.” Height is the most objective thing because it is measuring a line, but It’s still just one quality. Are your limbs long or short - are your pants and shirtsleeves usually too long or to short or just right? Do you think you look better with fewer, bigger elements to your clothes and accessories or with smaller, more detailed elements? Do lots of details look fussy on you or do big shapes look silly?
I am a R according to ALL the quizzes I have ever participated in even though like you I am 5.7. tall so hardly petite. I have an hourglass figure (or rather had as I am entering menopause and gaining weight for the first time in the middle/waist part but that's a diff story), even though I am not big busted, I am soft or so people always tell me, wide bones, R face, and no matter which quicz I take I qualify as a R, not even as a TR, but a real R. I think this quibbe system is not an exact science. My take on you is you are like me, a romantic.
Could you please talk more about how the body types gain weight? One of the things that made me realize how different body types are is that my waist had the same measurements of my mother's when I was 20kg heavier than her. I'm a romantic body type and even very overweight I still had an hourglass shape, while my mother never had a waist, she was very straight when thin, and now she only gains weight in the torso, thin arms and legs.

I’m a romantic and this was really helpful, but can you plz do a video about hijab 🧕 for body types
Nina diss Are you serious? If you cover yourself with a hijab, the bodytype seems to be worthless, isn't it?

When you say romantics are moderate to smallish, what height is that in cm? 🤓
If you have warm skin tone , is it okay to use orange 🍊 eyeshadow?
The best thing about the Kibbe types is how many women I’ve heard say that they finally “get” their bodies and stop fighting to change the unchangeable. I used to hate being so fleshy, even when I weighed below average. Now I can stop wanting to have someone else’s body and focus on perfecting my own shape and style.
Exactly! If I start with knowing how to aesthetically dress my frame and shape, it will be easy enough to personalize the look after.

There is something i don’t understand: you can have a certain body type (romantic let’s say) but a certain face that doesn’t necessarily match the romantic type. That’s why a lot of people don’t know exactly which type they are.
I heard that David Kibbe has dropped using the face now when typing? It took me forever to work out my type because my face doesn’t match. I think I’m a SN, but my face is narrow, which is not very natural.
I have classic face but Natural upper body and limbs😫
I have classic face and dramatic body🙄
@@Anna-sg8wt So you are Dramatic Classic no?
Exactly my thoughts. To me i'm a very specific type in my body but my head is what makes me start doubting
Marylin means so much to me. In a time when being tall and sporty is prized I always looked up to her beauty and I felt acceptance.
I completely agree, but she made other hair coloured to blonde people feel insecure about not being a blonde 👱🏻♀️ x
@@kaylanewis5392 the beauty standard of blonde hair existed before Marilyn was even born. Marilyn is not even a natural blonde, the industry made her dye her hair blonde
@@kaylanewis5392anybody can make anybody feel insecure if they let them
that picture you used of marilyn monroe standing on the beach made me feel so good about the way i look bc i’ve finally seen a beautiful picture that looks like me 🥺
Me too
Bullshit you're just showing off. Since when looking like monroe would be seen as ugly lmao. Maybe in the early 2000s.
I am a romantic body type and honestly realizing this has really helped with my body image. I am “self aware “ now and I don’t have this ridiculous ideas on how i should look. I used to think i was a gamine so i very bothered with my roundness and I didn’t understand that was how i was built.
If I could choose any body type, I'd still choose romantic. That’s how much I started to love my body type! 🤍
Me too!
That's how I feel about soft dramatic
Elf i'm happy to hear that! 🖤🖤
I love this system! It makes you appreciate instead of hiding. I was never able to fit trendy clothes and many say I look vintage. When I learned about the types it all made sense.
jimin's thighs rap mon's dimples i completely agree! (also love your name lol)
I would love a video on the faces of the body types without makeup, it makes it clearer for example how someone looks sharp and another looks soft. I think makeup really can fools us and then when we compare ourselves to someone with makeup it can seem like we don't fit any body type.
I second that.
Please do one for Theatrical Romantic & Soft Gamine.
I think its confused the most
I agree with you. A TR myself, I sometimes wear SG lines because they suit me as well (just in a different way), that's how similar these two types are! Also, Merriam recommends doing so. 🤗
I agree . I can’t tell which one I am between the two.
Mm21 probably SG because TR tend to be pretty certain that they are. If a blended eyeshadow looks bad under your lash line when doing eye makeup, that is TR. TR will be called “tiny, skinny” a lot when wearing many types of clothes, but once seen in a swimming suit or maybe shorts then it’s noticeable to people that we’re actually much more curvy and fleshy in the legs and butt than expected, and we gain weight first on the legs and butt and last in the waist and chest area, our stomach always stays small. Whereas SG legs stay pretty small but can gain weight in the mid section much easier than TR. Hope this helps!
Yes please do! I am one of the two and have hard time telling which one.
Yes please clarify between Soft Gamine and Theatrical Romantic. I used to think I'm SG but I realized I only look good with TR hair. As of clothing I look good in both, but higher neckline works well because I'm very short at 150 cm (tiny bit less than 5ft).
I used to hate my “plumpness”, curves, and round face but now that I realize it’s called romantic it makes me really happy :)
That’s the reason why me, a romantic body type, I’ve always fought my body type that nowadays is not considered the best. Nowadays we have always to study ourselves more carefully than other body types in order to find the best image solutions. But, after all, who cares? Body positivity implies to accept ourselves even though fashion doesn't support us.
I really love your looks recently. The choice of colours is perfect.
Ikr, she’s sooo cute
YES thank you Aly for the Romantic video!! That's me!! SOFT AND SQUISHY!!!
I FELT this!! 😭😭😭
My husband used to call me his “squishy” when we were dating. I’m a Romantic in every way except my height. I’m not petite. I’m not super tall either. More classic in size, but Romantic in fleshy hour glass figure, rounded features. I think height is very confusing in kibbe typing.
😂😂😂
kshiftkometh That’s a good point.
Im opposite, sharp and long😂 i look like a sword

I have a romantic body type and I feel so lovely and feminine. It took some time to appreciate my figure but I embrace it now. Thank you, Aly!
Yes sister 💛
I am soft natural, so I'm strong and soft at the same time... I also owe it to Aly that I'm coming to terms with my body shape more and more each day. I love her input! :)
Why are there even dislikes?
From the ones who thinks that the video is not long enough 😉
Because there are a few inaccuracies. For one, Charlize Theron and Mila Kunis are no way in hell Romantics. Plus there are confusions between typing the face vs typing the body.
@@AxelSituation maybe I missed the video but I haven't seen anywhere where she says they're romantic even in her previous videos.
And If she did all that I can chalk it up to is a simple mistake, she is currently the only youtuber I've come across who explains this well
because many do not like bodytype systems regardless how good they are working
@@kidaria1333 who, and which ones do they look like?
I'm 100% romantic and this series really helped me visualize what works for me. You're amazing, Ally!
I'm pretty sure now that I'm a fat romantic
Also my body type is romantic
LOL,,
same 😂😂😅
@@alexisv4138 Good I'm not alone :'D
Girl 🤣
😂
Can’t wait for your other body type comparisons!
Thank you for clarifying some of these types. I feel I'm still building the muscle to recognize the types and little by little I've become more observant of people/types around me. thank you!
Thank you Sandra!
i just did a quiz and got this result. came to this video to learn more and i think it matches me well! my limbs aren't long, my bones are wider, and my muscles are sloped and soft. from my face, to my arms, legs and hips, i've never had a defined, angular look. when i was younger, i really wanted my mum's super sharp jawline since she always commented on how round my face was. i was taught that if i lose weight, i would look sharper. after losing weight, i did get a little definition in my cheekbones and jaw, but my whole body is still very soft and rounded looking. from the way you describe romantics: juicy, lush, feminine, this actually made me feel good about myself. it's validating to hear that my body type is feminine, lush and sexy, since growing up, i thought only skinny, waifish women were sexy.
Thank you so much for this!!! I thought I was just fat. Oh my god I've hated my body since I was a kid. This has made me fall in love with being a romantic body type. I have the body type of classical paintings, divine sexy goddess women, the divine feminine personified.
Oh my god I finally know what my body type is... after all these years of saying I’m overly squishy!! I knew it was something different bc I’m not even overweight 😔
I envy the ethereal suerfemi one 'squishiness' of romantics. I k ow I am more thick heavy masculine and sturdy than this but in this way I feel like so is beyonce but theist her as romantic! I am still in the bewildered stage of this lol.
Congrats on being a beautiful super feminine romantic !
Thank you for posting this. I hope that more ladies who have the romantic physical type learn about this and have fun dressing in a way that is flattering to them rather than feeling that they have to follow fashion trends strictly.
This was so helpful as always xx
I have learned so much about my body and the clothes that fit me thanks to your videos ! Since I discovered I was a romantic type, I worked harder to get the body that I want because I realised it has a real "potential" if I can say that (I love and admire Marilyn Monroe for instance) and now I feel more confident and it's partly thanks to you ! So thank you so so much and keep up the good work :)
I'm still really torn between romantic and soft natural.
i'm "juicy" ? i'm beyonce? this channel is saving my body image i swear to god
Hey lovely video can you please do theatrical romantic vs soft classic its so confusing!
Yess!!
I have a little tip, I think this can work for all the people that are not too familiar with the types (you don't have any predominant idea) make a board on pinterest with the next categories: t-shirts, tops, skirts and pants, dresses, undies and swim, coats, blazers and suits, sweaters and crochet, sports attire, accessories. Spend some time analyzing things that you feel drawn to or things that you always wanted to wear. Having somebody to tell you your type seems tempting, but they need to see you in person and can maybe truly assist you with some ideas about accessories and hairstyles, you already know what clothes you should be wearing because you have data of how you feel when you wear them. I did this a few months ago and is theatrical romantic everywhere you look (with my style) but I just confirmed I'm TC. Give it a shot.
I’m just confused because I’m overweight and I can’t tell what my shapes are. I’m just fat. Maybe a video on overweight bodies just so we can see what we look like with extra weight as that body type?
Weight distribution may not be exclusive to body type but more genetics. So I don’t think there is a realistic way to do that
AdamarisCraftsss yes, there are variations in every kibbe type and naturally where weight is gained and it’s shape would vary too. Just like how more than one type has an hourglass it might lead to more confusion
Think about where your weight carries, and where it doesn’t. I’m a heavy girl, but my waistline doesn’t hold weight, which creates a very dramatic hourglass shape, which is very romantic.
Also try going backwards from the advice back to the types. If you feel more confident and flattered by sharp and “masculine” clothing, even with your weight, you’re probably more dramatic. If very feminine and soft clothing make you feel more confident, you probably lean more romantic.

Frani Matthews have some really good videos too
Hi Aly, 🙂
Could you please do a video on the bodytypes for plus size women? i.e. not necessarily obese, but e.g. BMI "overweight" range (but you could also do another video for "obese" women & even one for body builders 🤔).
I'm fairly certain that I'm a dramatic classic from the test & from what lines & looks suit me best, but I'm ~10kg over my healthy weight range, (imagine Diane Kruger if she gained 20kg in DC areas), so obviously I have extra flesh; which could distort results for many. It would be good to get a few visual representations as well as descriptions. 🙂
As a soft classic, i could say that the makeup itself can say a lot whether a person is soft classic or romantic body type - cz whenever i wear much shimmer it looks awful on me whereas matte foundation powdery face looks amazing on me with kindoff dewy matte lip and a touch of shimmer just on the cheekbone and down the bridge of the nose. If i was a romantic i would never look good with matte foundation - it would look very heavy on me.
Thank you so much for your series on body types. As a petite lady with an hourglass figure understanding the Romantic Body Type has been so useful, I have gained lots of really useful tips from clothes buying to selecting hair styles. I agree with other comments and everything seems to make perfect sense now.
ROMANTIC 😍 ALL MY CURVY GURLS RAISE YOUR HANDS!🙌🙌🙌🙌
I would love you to continue this series! It’s very helpful to me. I would especially love you to make the next video about comparing classic vs other types. xx
This is great! Can’t wait to know the differences between TR and SG.
Any opinons about this appreciated, I'm confused!
MM in the white swimsuit pic, seems to be at her heaviest. I heard that pics of her looking more heavy, were taken during her pregnancy. Check out how most pictures of her in a bikini she appears to be less curvaceous. Notice how she poses, hip out, giving herself more curves. She wore corsets in movies, giving her a more hourglass appearance. Sometimes she looks a little padded too. She definitely had curves but they seem so much softer to me in most bikini pics.
When I look at pictures of her she looks really slim! When reading a book about her I learnt that those white bathing suit pictures were from her earlier days, when she was around 20. When I've actually watched a film of hers she appears slim to me - although she has womanly curves she is still slim in comparison to the trend these days being extreme hourglass figures. That's just what I think about. I think because she is known for her "curves", when people choose to use her as an example they will choose the pictures where she appears curviest.
@@tinachristoxo I agree! I wish that I could post the white bikini pic, she is not posing with her hips out, she looks very skinny, not fleshy at all, small boned. Her waist does not even appear to be as small because her hips look so slim!
I love the lighting. It makes your face glow.
Would love to see a comparison between Theatrical Romantic, Soft Natural and Soft Gamine / Soft Dramatic. I definitely feel like a lot of people get confused with these due to the mix of yin and yang
Great idea !! I know I'm one of these but no idea which one.
It resonated with me when you compared Romantic to Classic and spoke about disproportion! I am 5'3, measurements 40, 31, 39 one deep dimple in one cheek, and one crooked tooth, and upturned eyes. I feel like my face is not proportionate at ALL lol. I love it! Hehehe
Ohh no no no lol. None of those 3 things (crooked tooth, dimple, one upturned eye) would affect your body type. By proportionate she means how your fat and muscle sits on your body, and also by bone structure (not teeth).
I know, I've watched all her videos 🤓 It resonated because disproportion is my whole look!
this is brilliant, and yes please continue this is really interesting, I personally dont have a lot of confusion about my body type in the past i was not sure if I was a romantic or a soft gamine but I understood that am a romantic a long time ago and this video helped conform it, great job as always.
I used to think I was romantic but now I’m pretty sure I’m a soft natural. 💕 What made me realize I was wrong is that clothes for romantics make me look bulky and I feel like styles for naturals enhance all the good parts and make me look effortless. That’s what I love about this system. I feel like it’s an important thing to understand about yourself. I can’t believe every woman on earth doesn’t know about it.
I find that romantics - both kinds - are easiest to confuse with soft gamines, soft classics, and soft naturals
I am so happy to be a romantic!! All of these kibbe body types are so beautiful!!! I love how some are talk and lean and chic and others are small and soft and fleshy. Its such a beautiful world with beautiful women isnt it.
Can you please make a “get ready with me” video and just go through your choice of hairstyle/color, makeup, and clothing based on your Kibbe type? I think that would be so fun to watch!
I think you should do a video on two body types that are VERY similar to each other & compare them. cause (i feel like) there’s still some confusion in the air. But i love your body type videos, keep em coming! ❤️
Jada Pinkett Smith is not a TR. Merriam Style talks about it in one of her videos. I think she classifies her as a Dramatic Classic. I agree with her. Love the rest of the video, though.
I saw her video but I do think that Jada Pinkett Smith is Theatrical Romantic. She looks really plain in Classic clothes.
I love these videos! I would love to see a professional style guide for each type (e.g. suits, blouses, work dresses and skirts, etc.).
On another note, Jada Pinkett seems like a gamine to me. If you look at photos of her from the 90s, I would say she looks like a gamine
Wow, Aly. You look very fresh and glowing. 😊 Thank you for a interesting video. I'm a Theatrical Romantic myself and the difference between TR and Romantic was very helpful.
The Florida sun is giving her this beautiful glow
3:23 romantic vs soft dramatic
Hello I'm a soft gamine and always feel like I look too childish when I cover myself and too vulgar if I show some skin. Could you please dedicate a video for how gamines (soft and flamboyant included) can dress in a way that'll make us look like women instead of girls?
I'm probably a flamboyant gamine and I have similar problems. Many clothes make me look like a child, womanly clothes look weird, they say FG can dress fun but if I do I often end up looking like a teen... it's so frustrating! But I get the best results when I use the "rules" as guidelines and then I touch it up using my intuition. I also think I work very well with busy patterns on the geometrical side.
Try clothes with a little more fittedness with some rounded lines in your overall look. I have a friend who's a gamine that used to wear oversized clothes but now looks more her own kind of beautiful with more fitted garments that drape around her form. Also try blocking
Omg yeesss
As a FG i have the exact same problem and even worse coz SG are more feminine than Fg and FG and G are to me like the most " childish cutesy little boys " looking women so it's so hard for us to look like " a real woman " without being seen like trying too hard :/
It seems that not everyone agrees with Merriam Style, another body type channel, but she has several videos about Gamines and how to look like an adult. She suggests short lines and fitted clothes at the joints (shoulders, wrists, waist, knees, ankles).
@@rdpcl I like Merriam Style's point of views. She questions things and comes up with creative solutions. She has a video about Brigitte Bardot and "gamine + natural", which was very interesting for me personally (I kinda relate to that analysis)
Yes, please do more of theses types of videos. It’s been very helpful. Thanks
Please do more comparisons. I love your new look!
Hey Aly! What do you think Dorothy Dandridge is? After watching pictures of her, she has exactly the type of style I want to achieve, glamorous but more simple than Marilyn monroe. I do think she is Theatrical Romantic but I saw on that some people think that she is Soft Classic.
Thank you! She looks more like TR to me, but need to check more!
I think her face especially is very TR!
But she had the class and elegance of soft classics but could also be TH
@@name-jk8ji she said in her previous videos that Rachel is theatrical romantic
Definitely a TR. I can see why she might be mistaken for a SC but I think the main difference here is glam. It’s as though glam was made for her if that makes sense. I tend to find glam as the distinguishing factor that marks a TR.
Yay! Body type series is back! 😀😀😀
Yay!! I love that you’re starting with Romantics 🥰 I could have used this video a few months ago when I was stuck between Romantic and Soft Classic lol
Good explanation. You seem to be the most accurate youtuber I've come across when it comes to this stuff.
Who likes when Aly says "bounes" and "gammeen" (bones and gamine)
How do you pronounce Gamine? It's a French word so it's "gammeen" no?
She also says "chicks" instead of "cheeks"... I always laugh watching her videos, it's so funny. By the way, I'm not an English native speaker myself, so I'm not judging in no way! 😊
@@jasmeen5712 Yes it's gammeen you're right :). French is my first language and I'd say she pronounces it correctly.
@@Em-fz5uh Je suis française, c'est juste que j'ai des doutes sur si le mot est vraiment français 😀
Aly, you're so good at explaining everything! Thank you for all the work you do. I'd be interested in what piercings/tattoos are good for each body type :)
I mainly confuse theatrical romantic with soft gamine, and romantic with soft natural
Kat meow thanks that kind of clarifies it a little bit x
I think the diff between a sn and a romantic is that sn have bigger facial and body bones, including wider shoulders. I think sn tend to have bigger cheekbones, although their cheeks may still be rounded and soft. Sn can have an hourglass figure and look soft, so I think that is why they can be confused with r.
Sometimes if I cannot tell whether someone is sn or r, I try to picture the person in romantic makeup and clothes, vs. sn makeup and clothes. I also do the reverse when I cannot tell whether an outfit is r or sn, because they oftentimes look similar to me. Some dresses, especially if they are long and flowy, look either r or sn to me. But I will picture myself or a famous sn in them, and that helps me to tell the outfit is actually sn or r.
sewmykibbe is a website that has great ideas for clothing the body types.
I would love to have someone who is really good at it type me. I am pretty sure I am a sn, but it would be interesting if they typed me differently lol.
I am not an expert, but I hope that helps! :-)
I always thought scarlet johanson was R
I love this video! Well, I love all of your videos on body types 🥰🥰 I've been explaining people the differences between the types and the fact that we have to pay attention to detail to understand our type. For example, I am a Romantic and I had people telling me they are Romantics when they are a SG or a SN. For example, a very popular confusion is having a small waist. Most girls will think they have a small waist because their waists are small in cm but it's about how small it is in proportion to your hips. My waist as a Romantic is wider and bigger in cm than other types but my hips are super big so my waist is super small in proportion. Also, having big rounded hips is another confusion. It is not the same to have wide angular hips or wide hips as having extremely soft and curvy hips. I think the body flesh test is one of the most confusing for most of the people because they gain weight and they think they're curvy or maybe they think they're on the dry side because they lost weight 🤣 So I guess it is difficult for most of the people to understand those concepts and that's why there's so much confusion. Kisses and hugs 😘😘
Finally I have found my body type, not just petite, short and round lol. But a romantic with soft features and curves. The wording alone makes appreciate my body a bit more. Thanks!
yessss! please do Theatrical Romantic vs
I think it would be great if you made some kind of list of women's body types. For example celebrities, girls from instagram so that the acces to many photos would be easy. It would help me to learn about Kibbe's body types, because sometimes I simply don't know if my thinking is right. Of course you can find something alike on the internet but often I'm not sure if I can trust them, or it differ from your judgment and I think you have a really good and trained eye to that. It wouldn't have to be much just a list without description, so I could train my eye as well.
P.S. I really like your channel and I'm glad I found it couple years ago. 😘 I am in my 20s now. When I started to watch you I was just beginning to find my style in a conscious way. Wondering what is good for me and why something is not good at all. Thanks to you I have learned that beauty is not one-dimensional and you can find it in every body and enchance it you have right tools to do it.
Great idea, I would love to see a video about dramatic vs similar body types :)
Im so torn between Soft Classic and Theatrical Romantic 😭😣
I know I'm Soft Dramatic now, but at first I was confused about being Soft Dramatic or Soft Natural.
I realized that my facial proportions were too large and round to be natural, my facial features didn't have the bluntness that my mom, a Soft Natural had.
I was anorexic at the time of finding your videos, so in my mind, my hips were so narrow and my shoulders were so big, but like another commenter on here, that was body dysphoria confusing me.
So Soft Dramatic and Natural may be another helpful video to make, especially when someone's main point of reference is being tall.
So nice to hear you are doing well! :) SD is big girl, very flashy, curvy, lush, soft, feminine, often true, large hourglass. Sofia Loren, Raquel Welch, Anita Ekberg. SN is smaller in size than SD, usually shorter, has larger bones/frame and is more toned, strong and fit looking. Naturals are athletic girls, strong body frame, larger bones, toned flesh. SN would be more feminine and defined, more curvy and 'padded' but still not as lush as SD. Katy Perry
,
Heidi Klum, Rene Zellweger. Hope this helps. All the best! :)
The way you describe things, it’s like I immediately know what you mean, even though I would have never of thought to describe whatever it is that way. I just love it.
Thank you and good job! It's a great idea for a kibbe serie. Waiting for the classic and the dramatic one to see if I am really sure of my kibbe body type.
Please do wedding gowns for the body types!! ❤️🤍
After years of thinking I was a romantic body type i finally realise that I was actually a soft dramatic body type. Such nuances actually do make a significant change to one's style..
You're the best Kibbe UA-camr on here.
I wish you'd upload this stuff more often because I always learn a lot
I absolutely love you and your channel! You are just so beautiful and adorable.
The most important thing you always say is that no one needs to 'correct' anything about our facial features.
This is so important - we are told (men and women) that we have a big nose, too small of eyes, too thin of lips, etc and how to 'fix' this problem. But, you teach that we can use our features to make us unique and still be beautiful in our own way.
As a person with very high cheekbones and wide spaced eyes, I appreciate this.
Much love to you Aly!
EDIT: Thank you for this video - I finally realise that I'm a Romantic, not a Theatrical Romantic or a Soft Dramatic :)
I would love this to be a series. It was very helpful.
Classic definitely deserves to be covered. Idk if I'm a dramatic classic or flamboyant natural. It would help to hear clarification on naturals and classics.
love your videos btw Alyona!
yes please. for soft naturals
Love you, You have taught me so much! You are so talented
Thank you!!
Can’t wait for the classic one. I’ve been on the fence between FN and DC
Love the way she just, gets into it.😊
I wonder if it means anything to be , constantly, drawn to the style of a certain type. I've always been drawn to gamine style, even before I knew it was 'gamine'. But my height puts me firmly in flamboyant natural.
This may be true because I have always been attracted to romantic body type and I am a romantic body type
@@jenellearmstrong6306 Jenelle Armstrong Lucky, you!
My body is a mix of rounded features and blunt features. My face is actually a lot like the top right @ 9:45, with rounder eyes and a rounder jaw, like Judy Garland.
But I'm very tall, so that makes me a Natural.
But I 'feel' gamine.
Great video! It took me such a long time to figure out that I was a soft classic! I went from soft gamine, until in realized those styles looked too small and separate from me, to romantic/theatrical romantic, until I realized I didn’t look so great in overly ornate and ruffly feminine styles... and finally when I thought about the clothes I gravitate towards naturally (or the line of clothes) I realized I was a type of classic, and the romantic elements were just an undercurrent. I think seeing what you gravitate to naturally sometimes helps with figuring it out. ☺️
Hi aly can you please talk about hair length and face shapes please , I want know why some poeple look better with short hair and on the other hands some looks better with longer hair .
I’d like to thank you Aly, i e-mailed you like a year ago or so and you helped me to classify my body type as romantic. Before that I was extremely confused. After learning, It became so much easier to choose my clothes and styling! Keep up with ur content!
A makeup tutorial of your makeup with details pleaeaeaease!
❤️ Yes more on Dramatic Classic please. Love your videos! ❤️
Interesting as always. I think very strongly that I am theatrical romantic and even more with how you compared all the types with romantic here. I'd love for the continuation of this series.
1st - Let's hear it for Theatrical Romantics!! 🙌🏽 🚩 🎉 2nd, Finding out what I am is soooo liberating!!! My wardrobe needs to be sacked, but now I know why. THANK YOU for your specialized knowledge!!
I still don't know if I am a romantic, soft natural or soft classic
Same
Same. I'm very confused about my body type
This video was so helpful, I was always confused about which body type I was , I wasn’t sure if I was romantic because I am pear shaped, but I am completely Yin and soft, so now I know I am a romantic (: it was very helpful to compare all the body types like this
Yes please! More bodype vs bodytype videos! That really helped
Can you do body types when they work out because I think it gets confused on the yang part. And I think it would be very interesting to see what each body types would look like.
Pleeeease write,publish a print book already. Kibbe's Metamorphosis is out of print and we need you. I feel more confident in applying art principles as opposed to any attempt at Instagram or porno chic. Willing to support a GoFundMe.
The fact that i have the same body type as Marilyn Monroe and Beyoncé and it’s called romantic made me love my body so much!!!!!!!!
this makes a huge difference. I went through about 5 other body types and I completely ignored romantic because I didn't believe it could be marilyn monroe looking.. I but us side to side and we have similar measurements
Please do a video on soft classic confusion!
I'm still stuck between Romantic and Soft Dramatic, anyone have any insight? :)
I'm taller, around 5 feet 7 inches. hourglass figure, my facial features are small nose, round eyes, larger lips. I feel like my body type and facial features match Marilyn Monroe's type but I'm taller!
The height limit for Romantic is 5"5. Also, Kibbe does not use the face anymore for the bodytyping, but it can be used after you know your type for neckline or jewellery modification if needed (ex.: your face is more yin or yang than your body)
Edit: SDs have long vertical wich is you most likely have because of your height, you can't look petite. You can also be SN, if you think you are soft type, they can have a short to moderate vertical up to 5"7! I recommend you to join Stricly Kibbe facebook group or r/Kibbe reddit group. We can help you out there if you need
@@lux3370 Actually, it is possible to look shorter than one's height, just like it's possible to look taller than one's height. Example: I have a cousin who's 5'10 and she looks about as tall as me and I'm approx 5'5.
My take is that an SD is mainly dramatic with touches of romantic - it might be a voluptuousness, or rounded facial features (eyes or lips or cheeks) that make you say I’m not strictly dramatic.” Height is the most objective thing because it is measuring a line, but It’s still just one quality. Are your limbs long or short - are your pants and shirtsleeves usually too long or to short or just right? Do you think you look better with fewer, bigger elements to your clothes and accessories or with smaller, more detailed elements? Do lots of details look fussy on you or do big shapes look silly?
I am a R according to ALL the quizzes I have ever participated in even though like you I am 5.7. tall so hardly petite. I have an hourglass figure (or rather had as I am entering menopause and gaining weight for the first time in the middle/waist part but that's a diff story), even though I am not big busted, I am soft or so people always tell me, wide bones, R face, and no matter which quicz I take I qualify as a R, not even as a TR, but a real R. I think this quibbe system is not an exact science. My take on you is you are like me, a romantic.
Thank you for this video 🤗
Could you please talk more about how the body types gain weight? One of the things that made me realize how different body types are is that my waist had the same measurements of my mother's when I was 20kg heavier than her. I'm a romantic body type and even very overweight I still had an hourglass shape, while my mother never had a waist, she was very straight when thin, and now she only gains weight in the torso, thin arms and legs.
