Pure romantic is hard to dress, for me at least it’s hard to determine what would be pure romantic and what would push to far over into soft natural territory. A pure romantic video would be great!
I agree. I am pretty sure I am a romantic (I got mostly D’s and E’s on my test, with the occasional C, no A or Bs), but I think I look childish with the kind of details suggested for romantics. I have therefore wondered whether I rather am soft classic, but the suggestions for soft classic seem not fitted enough /too structured for me. I think I look my best in clothes that could be used by both romantics and (soft) classics.
The soft gamine dresses literally made me gasp. Especially the first girl with the bangs. My dream dress. I got married in an SD cupcake dress and always regretted it, but never knew why.
I’m here for your voice. Don’t get me wrong, I like to learn about body types and colors but your voice is so soothing. I’m a subscriber. Looking forward to more videos.
Great job. I think it’s cool that my sister and I chose great dresses for our lines, by instinct! I now know why I like certain things, why certain lines work. I am a new fan of yours and an old fan of AlyArt. Love this framework!
You mention how a romantic or theatrical romantic can go soft gamine/gamine to look more womanly. I would love to see you expand on this comment, and show examples as well. Perhaps as a parallel to your "Break Kibbe's Rules" video for more yin looking people wanting to look more badass. 🙂Thanks for your content.
I second this! I’m 99% sure I’m TR but I relate to Gamines so much more and I’m always looking for a way to make TR styles look more edgy, intelligent or playful. Instead of just the standard ‘sexy girl’ TR lines. Or worse- the ‘girl who is TRYING’ to be sexy.’
Yes those Soft Natural dresses are my dream dresses anyways lol. I’ve tended to dress like my body type without even knowing it. I was always naturally drawn to draping and waist emphasis and natural earthy tones. I’ve also always loved messy hair. I love how my broad shoulders look in off the shoulder tops 🥰
I am pretty sure I am a TR and I like the TR examples, but I really wish I was classic... I LOVE the classic examples, the simplicity and accurate shapes.
@@astonish_injurer5598 I have a very hourglass figure, small narrow feet and hands, sloped but narrow shoulders... I really dont believe I am any type of classic. I have a 32DD chest and waist more than 10 inches smaller... Basically all my body answers are D. I look slightly shorter than I am. My body looks absolutely nothing like a dramatic classic's body. thanks for dissecting my photo (seriously - Although I hope I dont have very thin lips in real life haha... I really wondered about my jawline especially.) but my body really is very different. I am not sure how you can judge somebody's overall vertical line when you dont see them as a whole, and also how you can determine the shape of my shoulders when you dont see them properly, I am wearing clothers and the photo is small and cropped... As for my face, I agree it has yang bones, but I do have some yin flesh. Again, my body is very yin and my vertical line is actually short-ish.
@@astonish_injurer5598 I dont really think loving the "aesthetic" of one type makes you more likely to be the type. I said I loved the classic dresses, how they look - but I never said they look good on me. I am less of a gamine than I am a classic... Maybe if I had a different body, my face might pass to be a soft gamine's face? but I really cant see being a soft gamine. I am not girlish (which is what i see as one common trait of gamines), I have a very womanly figure. I love many SG celebrities, so it is not like I have something against that type. When I was 18 - early twenties, I used to wear stuff that I now would say looks like gamine clothing, and looking back I must say I looked like somebody's mom wearing the clothes :/ I would say it just generally requires much more than seeing one photo with clothes on to be able to determine the type of the person. Clearly a feeling somebody is tall or has long vertical line isnt always correct, especially basing it on a low quality selfie of their face. I just looked at the photo and maybe the shoulders are a little deceiving, as I was holding the phone in front of me, so that is probably why you thought I had sharp narrow shoulders.
@@astonish_injurer5598 Thanks. I know it is a stereotype. I dont mean girlish in behavior, but in overall look. It just appears to be true a lot of the time, visually the ladies look younger, slightly teenage like even if they are very much adult. I just hope you would not try to type somebody based on face alone (also based on one single photo). Marriam herself has a video called "same face, different type" - body does matter quite a bit.
What I've been doing is looking for a very fashionable celebrities that I can observe their red carpet looks. They don't always choose the best line for them but if they have a good stylist you can pick up some great ideas. For instance, Michelle Williams is my style guide. I'm a SG and her 2006 red Oscar dress would be perfect for a wedding dress if it was white. She often chooses great lines for her body, high necklines, intricate patterns, geometric shapes and a good balance of feminine/masculine which for SG is important. It helps to keep another person close to your own shape in mind because you can lose perspective shopping. You can like the style on the hanger or model but it wouldn't suit you as well. Yet, if you keep very clean vision of your body lines and the lines of the clothing, first, then shopping is more precise.
Yes! Jenna Coleman is another great example of an SG who wears her lines so often, that it's difficult to find images of her not wearing her lines. Sometimes it's harder to tell 'does this look good on me', and easier to ask the question, 'would this dress look good on this SG celebrity, then I know that, because I'm an SG, I'll look good in it too'.
I have a question, you said that R and TR could wear SG lines can SG wear some R and / or TR line and still look good? because that could explain why some people torn between TR and SG have a problem deciding even when trying outfits (I do ahah) Also there are R/TR things and G/SG things I can't see myself wear For ex I personally don't like peter pan collar too childish imo and I already look younger than I am so adding that king of collar or too much ruffles (which is more of a R thing) isn't flattering me and doesn't fit my personal style.
I'm soft natural, too, and I like to dress edgy. It can be tricky since "edgy" is usually associated more with dramatic lines, and I don't know about you but I really can't pull off things that are so narrowly angular. I did find a really great moto jacket a while back made of a thick cotton, so it held its shape but had enough stretch to move with my body instead of around it. It was cut exactly to my waist, so it emphasized my hips more and helped balance out my shoulders/ bust. Unfortunately I wore it out and I haven't been able to find a replacement (I've been looking desperately for over a year now). But I used to wear it with ripped mom jeans to widen my hips and a drapey t-shirt. With the right shoes and jewelry, that kind of mix definitely looks edgy. So I guess the overall advice would be to look for pieces that have an edgy feeling (moto jacket, ripped jeans) but that account for your body shape (softer material, drapier cut, slim shoulders, added material around hips/butt). Since soft natural and soft dramatic can sometimes share cuts, another technique might be to mix soft natural pieces with edgy pieces cut for a soft dramatic, since they'll probably be easier to find than edgy pieces cut for a soft natural.
@@mjade1673 it was by Tripp NYC. They had one that was kind of similar to the one I loved the last time I checked the website, but they were out of it in my size and sadly it looked like it was cut a little longer than I'd want it to be anyway :-(
Well, in my opinion the key is not to wear X piece but to combine the lines to match your type. It might sound hard but gives you the most freedom. So basically look for softened dramatic lines and romantic lines.
These dresses look great on these slender models. I would not be able to wear most of them because i am plus size, very a large bustline. The dresses they have for plus size all look pretty much the same to me. Big skirts a horizontal neck be cause the girth of the woman is going to widen anything she puts on. Most of the wedding dress style I see are strapless or and or sleeveless. May plus size women do like like their arms showing and someone like me absolutely needs to wear a bra that does not slip down. The choices for us are very limited, especially if we follow the Kibbe system.
For some reason since I’ve been into kibbe, I’ve noticed that I’ve been doing what I’m supposed to be doing I suppose??? I’ve actually saved two of the dresses from my body type before I saw this video? So that’s interesting. So we naturally “like” what goes well on us it seems. Just like your favorite colors are likely ones that go well with your skin. Seems subconscious
Your videos are so great. I'd love to have a similar one for bridesmaid dresses. I'm in a wedding for which I have to choose a dress from the website azazie. Got me thinking that a video about the best dresses for each type from that website would be so helpful. Thanks!!
hey! I saw your website and saw you were doing clothing examples for each of the body types. Can you do romantic next? I would really love that! Also, great content overall. Very informative.
Just want to add for the Romantics that any dress Kate Winslet wore in Titanic completely fits the romantic aesthetic. imagine her dinner dresses in white or the dress she wore during the sinking but in white. those silhouettes look gorgeous. beading and draping are your friend. you can totally go for satin as well as lace. See also Marilyn Monroes movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and pay attention to silhouettes Marilyn wears including an orange rouched tulle mermaid gown and her pink satin gown. now just imagine them in white. Boom, there's more wedding gown inspiration. Romantics particularly look great in column/sheath dresses, fit and flare, and ballgowns. just stay far away from cottons and tafetta, their too stiff of fabric.
Sora Ohfdtzgf I think gamines (especially SG and G) are pretty common, also naturals. Classics seem to be pretty rare. But I mean, it’s from my own experience, so I don’t know.
From my experience i see often see naturals, soft naturals, dramatic classic, soft classic, theatrical romatics and soft dramatics Flamboyant naturals ams romantics quite frequently What i dont see often are soft gamines, true classics and true dramatics
Hi Merriam! I'm new to your channel but have been studying Kibbe body types for the last 2 1/2 years. This wedding dress video is fantastic! I watched your video "Kibbe Types of Plus Size Models" and that one was so great as well. I am a plus size Dramatic Classic. I am looking for a wedding dress but really struggling to find one for me. I was wondering if you would do a wedding dress version of "What Body Type is This?!" It is such an important day to get your dress right. Everyone wants to be beautiful.
I'm a flamboyant natural (pretty sure) and I love the dress for soft natural (on the right at 17:33), would it work for me? I know that I'm allowed to wear whatever I want but I want it to look harmonious
ah! yes, aly art has a video on it titled 'Body Types Test'--originally it was Kibbe's system so you could google the test too. But I think her video is very helpful. Also making a video I'm hoping to have up today or tomorrow morning on how you can determine your main category (romantic, dramatic, natural, gamine, or classic) with clothing alone.
Is it "too much", if a theatrical Romantic wears a little crown (a tiara or sth)? I'm really looking forward to my wedding and I would love to wear one :D
@@merriamstyle Ooookay, thanks a lot. We will see. I hope, I really am a TR, because I am a lot taller than "allowed" (170 cm, 5'7''), but nearly everything is soft and rounded, so I believe in the TR *haha*
SD and SN lines I've found have a lot of similarities--both have lightweight fabrics, both have length, but the biggest difference is that SN is a bit more 'relaxed' in lines, meaning the lines aren't as 'clean' so to speak. I would say go somewhere in the middle. Maybe hair like Sophia Loren's but just a tiny bit more undone, satin fabrics but maybe a bit more loose. And you'll already look so glam to bring in that 'SD vibe' that I think is associated with SD lines. If you wear full SD it'll look way too glam on you (I have a video called SD vs SN where I show examples), but if you add a touch of that influence, you will already look super glam and still look like yourself.
I am a bit unsure about some of your suggestions for the romantic type. I, as many romantics, have big breasts and prefer to wear clothes that avoid enlarging them and prefer bringing focus toward my small waist. I think many of your suggested bridal gowns have so many details on the upper body that the breasts get enlarged. I am therefore wondering whether you were thinking too much about Drew Barrymore and too little about Christina Hendricks when you chose recommendations for romantics.
Hi Sunniva, I was thinking a lot about Drew Barrymore, and not at all about Christina, but I also think shapely bust lines are beautiful so I didn't consider that people would want to hide that! But I think that's ok too if people want to play it down. Kibbe is all about working with your own body rather than trying to downplay any parts of it, so his suggestions won't really 'help' with trying to downplay anything. Certainly, you could eliminate some of the detailing around the bust line in the examples, and instead, go for detailed intricate necklaces to make up for that lack of detailing around the bust line.
Merriam Style I see your point about Kibbe being more about working with your body. The reason why I want to avoid enlarging my breasts is that it makes people only see them and not me when they meet me. And that is probably why I have tended to prefer classic lines rather than romantic lines. But I think your advice about introducing other details instead is good.
penny duncan well that’s not a huge disparity so I think you could work that. Truth In Beauty would say to dress more to suit your face than your body and I have to agree. Strict Kibbe would say that actually your face and body are the same and you haven’t figured out which one yet is all.
The romantic dress on the far right at 12:54 is the only one I like. I don't always like frilly drapey dresses that me look like a wood nymph. I do love the soft dramatic dresses.
