Listening on headphones also and agree that it's kind of too quiet. You have a beautiful voice though! And it's a very informative, great video. To me it sounds like you recorded this in the room with someone sleeping and you're trying not to wake them up.
As one who doesn't appreciate asmr at all, I would like to be able to understand the words that come from that muffled sound. What's the point of watching a video when it's all just syrupy sounds with no discernible content?
Hey! I love your videos on Kibbe and other systems, it's really cool to know that your typing doesn't change at all regardless of weight. I love how in-depth you are with breaking down what it is about people you look at in finding their type. It's kinda unrelated, but would you ever consider doing quick consultations? I've been told by everyone that I have a very "teen", sort of Maisie Williams kind of face, but I feel like being kinda chubby throws that off.
me either, when I took the test I got a lot of romantic answers, but also a lot of another type can't remember which one, I think natural.... But I see the romantics and I hate how they dress, no way I'd wear those clothes
I have a question - is it possible to be one kibbe type for your face and another for your body? My face is much softer/more yin than my figure but I'm not gamine in my proportions. I took the test, which separated face and body, and for face I typed as soft classic and for body I'm a dramatic classic or soft natural..?
I have a video on just that! It's called Same Face, Different Kibbe Type. Also, there are no specific proportions for a gamine--it can be anything! It's possible to have one kibbe type for your face, and another for your body, but this probably means that you're some kind of gamine, and not only that, that you'd be most flattered by gamine clothing!
I am the opposite, I have pretty petite but longer looking limbs, soft muscles and fleshier arms, long thick hair, small waist, soft curves which would make me almost romantic yet my face is pear shaped, moderately muscular with wider bones, yet I have soft moderate nose, smallish, droopy eyes, some photos resemble Gracy Kelly a lot, some more of Keira Nightly. So I always go for more Classic looks as it neither compliments nor distorts my overall look. Maybe I am classic, who knows.
@@julijakeit depend on your height. If you are rather tall (taller than 164) you´re probably a soft natural. Or you can be soft classic if abit shorter. Because you dont sound like a romantic (smaller eyes, longer limbs). In case you are rather short (less than 160) you are gamine !
And the other question - is the body type can changes after several years of weightlifting? I have a pretty interesting photos of myself when I was 16 and now, 10 years ago with sport.
Great videos, thank you! Any insights on how exercise and fitness can affect your lines? I think I might be soft gamine, but recently I gained some muscle on my back and arms and I see myself more natural-ish...
Egret Not gamine myself, but in psc styling a youthful with some romantic. At my thinnest and most fit, I still had a proportionately rounded lower body compared to the rest of my frame. My bust was not as large but still prominent compared to my whole silhouette. Fitness made the naturally thin parts of me thinner and slimmed but did not exactly thin the fleshier parts of me. I believe with soft gamine, something similar will happen. The yang parts become more yang, and the yin parts slightly change.
This is something ive been interested in because i have been underweight for a long time but my facial features are a lot more yin so i believe i am soft dramatic rather than dramatic.
yes I am a romantic and I have realized that my closet needs to be updated with things that fit my lines. I'm very excited to create a new look for myself
I was wondering about this! I’m an 8 mo. pregnant SG, i can’t tuck my shirts into pants at the moment, But everything on my body and face has stayed the same besides my belly of course. I feel like I’m limited with what I can find in maternity clothes. But was wondering about any tips anyone has for a pregnant version of their body type
Thanks for this video! I do have a question though...did I miss the discussion of weight with naturals or were they left out entirely? I’m less than 5 feet tall with curves, and natural feels true to my Kibbe type. The hard part is finding examples of folks my height who reflect the type. If anyone has ideas, please share them!
Same, but I don't think it actually changes what is flattering on me overall. Using me - I'm a soft natural, so cowl necks are recommended for me. They look great on me when I'm slim. But when I'm larger, my breasts and arms gain weight and the cowl neck looks too bulky on me no matter the fabric. Then I switch to less of a cowl, more of a soft drape. So I'm still following the overall rule of wearing draped, soft fabrics that naturally create asymmetrical lines, but I do it in a different proportion to suit the areas where I gain extra weight.
I feel like these “issues” are more just perspective, for example a designer may say it looks more flattering on your figure, but you personally like seeing yourself in something else. That’s jus where you take the information acknowledge its existence and then throw it out the window with your homework that’s due tomorrow but you forgot to do it 🤷♀️
Such a great video. I have some extra weight but still find the dramatic classic lines that you talk about in the proportions - the chin, eyes, lips, head and hands size, the overall vertical line that makes me look thinner sometimes that I am really are in size.
Thank You. Im overweight now 106 kg after childbirth. I am soft dramatic but it is now 'too sexy' for me - may I go for soft naturals? my face and makeup is very ok in naturals. In soft dramatic like eyeliner and hair like Sophia Loren I look very good buy I dont want to pay attention of men and dont have time to do my hair so volume everyday... Personally I try to combine this both looks soft dramatic and soft naturals. If I will loose weight to my normal 70 kg I look good in 80tees soft lines for Soft Dramatics... How to make Soft Dramatic less sexy- this is my question, maby Sombody have some ideas or inspirations by celebritis? thank You! Agnieszka from Poland
Being overweight does make it harder to type though. Due to my height I can only be narrowed down to 3, and out of those 3, D is out. That leaves me with SD or FN. I do currently have that spare tire thing (buried underneath some prominent violin hips, that’s where the weight gathers) still an hourglass underneath it, though less defined now. Im leaning towards SD but FN is still a possibility.
Im so happy you notice these things as well! Plus size is definitely Different, but we are no less diverse. Meeting a Lot of diffferwnt plus size people ik that being pigeon holed like we are, it reduces us to just our level of fat which is So Unfair
3:14 will that make a difference in analysis bc y not using Mary kates quote on quote real face. She used to look a lot different, idk what she did but most speculate ita surgery, but she sure does look very different from what she used to be.
I have found online a type called flamboyant dramatic, the description is so accurate! As it is a type Kibbe mentions I think, is it possible to fall into it? I would love to know more about this type!
So does romantic type gain weight more on hips and thights? I have proportionate shoulders and hips but small breast, thin waist and much softer hips! I am not overweight but I don't look as proportionate as the celebrities!
Hi I'm really confused to my type cause My bones are an (almost) even mix of B and D, while my flesh is exclusevly D and E. Am I a really soft gamine? Am I a soft natural? I am really confused
You would be soft gamine, not soft natural. If you don't have natural bones (mostly B answer bones), then you wouldn't be any type of natural. Why do you think you wouldn't be soft gamine?
I have just the video for you!!! You could watch my video titled Same Face, Different Kibbe Type where I compare a soft gamine and a soft natural and do each one of their Kibbe test results! I hope you check it out!
no hate I absolutely love your videos I'm not into the ASMR type voice I prefer a louder voice where I dont have to volume up all the way my volume come on girllll
Been this an informative video, at 01:17, can you point out who is who in the pictures, not assuming that we all know them? Yeah, I've been living under a rock, if you want to think that. But I don't know them. On every other examples is properly indicated.
Same lines, not same styles. ;) Also, another circumstance may be that when someone loses or gains weight, they feel like they don't look as good as they used to and that the clothes that used to look great on them look 'worse.' This doesn't mean that they are now more flattered by a different Kibbe body type's lines.
Hi Guys, I'm offering personalized style reports now! merriamstyle.com/style_report.html
Merriam Style yay!! I’m looking forward to doing one !! Just have to bring myself to taking photos :)
Merriam Style how do you dress a crackhead body?
Will u be able to do one for athletic versions? this underweight and overweight one is super useful. Thank you!!
I second this idea!!
Yes pleease.
This !
I love your voice! It's so relaxing, almost like asmr. Also your videos are very good💕
thank you!! :)
but please speak up a little! hard to hear when listening on earphones :)
Listening on headphones also and agree that it's kind of too quiet. You have a beautiful voice though! And it's a very informative, great video.

Thanks, I'm much less confused now!
This really could use some time stamps
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Ive been trying to figure this out for so long! I am a theatrical romantic apparently.
How would a flamboyant natural look at different weights?
Thanks for the insight!
This is so difficult! But so helpgul with this ❤️
Okay, I have no idea what I am now.
me either, when I took the test I got a lot of romantic answers, but also a lot of another type can't remember which one, I think natural.... But I see the romantics and I hate how they dress, no way I'd wear those clothes
Very respectful
Why are you whispering??
ASMR ;)

Please stop almost whispering, I find it super annoying. I love your video content so would like to keep watching.

OMG I loved this video now i really understand why our types don't change with weight. Thanks a bunch for your awesome content Merriam.
yay! I'm glad. I think you were romantic right? Are you enjoying testing out the different outfits?
yes I am a romantic and I have realized that my closet needs to be updated with things that fit my lines. I'm very excited to create a new look for myself
I wish you would do videos about the kibbe exercises, i want to go through all the list, but it's just too long.
Soft natural and soft dramatic are sooo different. How can I be in doubt? Hahaha

Wear body con.

Shakira is the shortest soft natural I'm aware of. Maybe she can be a style inspiration?
This is so great! Such amazing analysis. Will you do one with athletes and body builders???
A very big thank you! We really needed this! Keep going the good work!
but why is she whispering?
but I have noticed, at least with me, that when I gain weight there are things that used to be flattering but now look wrong even in the right size
Same, but I don't think it actually changes what is flattering on me overall. Using me - I'm a soft natural, so cowl necks are recommended for me. They look great on me when I'm slim.

Exactly...I gain weight unevenly so I have no idea what she's talking about

Can you do a video including Kitchener’s ethereal and ingenue types too please
I know Kibbe has typed both Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen as SG, and they are twins (fraternal though), but I feel like Mary Kate is G, and Ashley is SG
a complete overweight and onw underweight version would be greatt

Rihanna is tall 5’8 I think. She’s not a TR

Hi! I haven't found too much information about it--could you describe it? I only find flamboyant (natural) which is obviously already a kibbe type.
So does romantic type gain weight more on hips and thights? I have proportionate shoulders and hips but small breast, thin waist and much softer hips! I am not overweight but I don't look as proportionate as the celebrities!
Thank you so much. You are so awesome!!!
Good to know.I was done as a soft classic by David kibbe
great video!
Hi I'm really confused to my type cause My bones are an (almost) even mix of B and D, while my flesh is exclusevly D and E. Am I a really soft gamine? Am I a soft natural? I am really confused
You would be soft gamine, not soft natural. If you don't have natural bones (mostly B answer bones), then you wouldn't be any type of natural. Why do you think you wouldn't be soft gamine?
I look very tall and I don't know if I fit in gamine lines, that's why I'm hesitant to see myself as one
Im confused if I am a soft gamine or soft natural
I have just the video for you!!! You could watch my video titled Same Face, Different Kibbe Type where I compare a soft gamine and a soft natural and do each one of their Kibbe test results! I hope you check it out!
from your image i think you're gamine
no hate I absolutely love your videos I'm not into the ASMR type voice I prefer a louder voice where I dont have to volume up all the way my volume come on girllll

Not true at all. I gained 30 lbs and I can't wear any of the same styles.
Same lines, not same styles. ;) Also, another circumstance may be that when someone loses or gains weight, they feel like they don't look as good as they used to and that the clothes that used to look great on them look 'worse.' This doesn't mean that they are now more flattered by a different Kibbe body type's lines.
Why do you whisper
Who is Marry Cates? on the right or left????
I think some kid tv from the 90s
I am CRACKING UP HARD here
