This helps a little. I thought I was soft classic but I'm only 5ft 2. Definitely not gamine or romantic. Not really broad enough in the shoulders for soft natural. Can I be a shorter classic?
Hello Ally , can you make a video about the 18 Ethereal Essences and Ingenue combination ? It will solve all the confusion about the bodytypes. Thank you
it's crazy how some women look tall even when they're petite. it's all about the proportions of your limbs and how you dress yourself, not your height! love this channel
@@CrystalMouse1 I’m the same height and apparently people mistake me for being 5’6”. Never would’ve known this assumption was being made, until we just happened to discuss my height (it was always after I made a comment to the gist of, “Because I’m short...”). I have a big head (round, not so much long) and long limbs, short torso. My sweet spot for skirt length is 2” below the crotch to make my legs look really long. Below mid-thigh, and I look matronly, since I have a wide torso.
@@CrystalMouse1 I have the opposite, I’m 5’5-so average height, but everyone constantly thinks I’m shorter and comments on me being “so small.” I think there’s more to this that I haven’t seen Kibbe address, but I don’t know how to quantify height into a similar system either. It’s interesting how we perceive people’s heights so differently than they actually are.
Except vertical in Kibbe’s system has nothing to do with perceived height in pictures or IRL. The only image ID he has said won’t appear taller than they are IRL are TRs. The rest can, because vertical is about your silhouette only.
@@CrystalMouse1 I’m the same! 5’4 so not as little as you but very average, people always think I’m tall until they’ve spent a long time with me because I just look long and lanky. My sister is only an inch or so shorter but she looks teeny
It’s so interesting that so many celebrities are petite. I grew up feeling so sad I was only 5’ 2” definitely is very confusing being one of the “non-usually petite” body types like Natural.
You're right, typing smaller bodies is tricky. I'm latina and, particularly in my country, the average height for women is 160cm. I'm 157cm soft gamine, my mom is a 160cm theatrical romantic, one of my friends is 161cm sof natural and another one is 163cm soft classic. We definitely have to take a longer look onto our proportions, mannerisms and bone structure. Great video!
They can be tall but also short. They are wide but sometimes narrow. They have soft features but with hard features. I try so hard to understand these videos but it feels like a riddle to me😂🙈xxx
I get you, but I think it gets easier after a while and it's very useful. Like if you have women in your family/ friends same hight, but somehow you can't exchange/ borrow clothes because it doesn't work, but why? Or something in your closet doesn't work for you, but it will for your sister. I'm a R, my niece is SC and my sis in law is N. That explains so much and cured me from feeling inadequate. If you watch more of Aly's videos you'll get it. It's great how she describes each type with admiration. Also in the end sometimes you don't have one of the defining characteristics of a type, but everything else about you screams a certain type and that's the style that suits you best, I think it's that elusive essence 😊. Good luck
Can you do anothet comparison between petite kibbe celebrties? Shakira's height and type was surprising to me - her type makes sense, but it's just not common to hear of petite soft naturals. I think I would love a comparison of celebrties that are on the shorter side of petite women who range from 4'11"- 5'2" since a lot of times the comparison videos are of women who are actually somewhat moderate in height. A video that's focused on the short end of petite would be helpful for understanding the differences in these types especially in my ethnic background (Asian).
I like this idea, I’m only 4’11 and it’s hard to see past the R and G families, but I discovered I have “large bones”, so I think I might be SN… but I’m out of shape too… I need some chubby short people tying 😆😆
I feel that when we talk about whether a person is "short" or "tall", we should put ethnicity into consideration too (e.g. "short" for Dutch women is not the same concept as "short" for other ethnicities, as they're very tall in general). America is a weird place where people of all ethnicities are put on the same scale to compare, whereas in other places that is very rare. Lucy Liu will be a "short" dramatic classic in a white person's perspective, but compare to her own ethnicity, people from Hong Kong and Guang Dong, especially compare to those of her age and generation (younger generations have way better nutrition), she is rather tall.
very true. i am from the netherlands, i am 5.7 and there, that is considered on the shorter side. this is my peeve with the kibbe system. it hasnt evolved since the eighties when people were shorter. the kibbe system these days seems an instrument for short people to claim a place in the world
How or why would that video exist? So all the explaining she is doing which some people find hard to follow (I don't but many do) she has to additionally say, "this person is petite/short but according to her ethnic backgrounds... name all... she is tall" focus on the content.
@@sanamsitaram7940 Same. I’m 5’1” and white, so basically extremely short compared to most other white people. However, there are even people shorter than me from time to time and I’m reminded that a lot of it has to do with genes/ethnicity. I’m not alone in this world! I visited China and found a lot more people closer to my height, guys and girls. It was wild because I felt like I actually fit in more as a more “average”-sized person there! 🤩
Great info, helpful. Can't wait for the styling video. As a very petite ( 4'11) soft gamine, i have trouble styling maxi and midi dresses. I have trouble in general because i tend to look wider and heavier than i am, even though i am not heavy. And as an older woman, minis can look a bit too youngish on me. 🙄 Help please, lol
You can opt for 'cut' lines. When I say that I mean you can use contrasting colors for clothes, if you wear dresses you can put on a belt in a contrasting color, as well as complementing your outfits with a blazer and some sort of element that brings a level of structure to the outfit (like a flowing dress with a linen blazer and a nice belt on the waist).
I remember when i first got into kibbe i had hard time finding my type because i'm short but i did not match any of "typical" short types like romantic or gamine body-wise. Later i would discover i was actually short soft natural.
I'm Asian. A Filipina. And I'm VERY petite. In fact, my nephew calls me "midget" yet no, I'm not. My height which is 4'9/4'10 is NOT RARE in my country. Yet, ppl whom I can compare myself with in terms of height are either bigger or smaller in their structure. I have a friend, she's same height as me, and she's a bit overweight but her hands are much smaller than mine. I also have a tita (aunt), who has the same height, yet I'm not sure if I'm just fatter but regardless, I think she's thinner but with bigger hands/feet I think. Or maybe were in the same category but I could not think of her as Gamine. Bec if we'll think of just height then, then we'll be putting a lot of Asians in Gamine category or type. We need updated version of Kibbe otherwise Asians we need to have our own
I don't think we'd all necessarily fall under gamines, like Aly said you have to take into consideration a person's proportions in relation to their height. That includes bone structure, facial features, symmetry and whatnot. I have a friend who's the same height as you but she's definitely fuller figured and would probably be under theatrical romantic or just romantic. Im taller than her (just shy of 5'3) and am much narrower and have a pretty good combination of delicate and sharpness (and just straight up massive eyes), so I'm most likely under gamine. My mother's the same height as me but her figure is more comparable with my friend's (lush and much more soft, like a romantic). And another friend who's the same height but is definitely more muscular her overall look is that of a natural's. So it isn't just about height, and I think it's normal to have deviations. Also, the kibbe system isn't infallible and isn't always going to be 100% right every time. Haha just my two cents as a fellow filipina
You should try reddit. You'll get like 2-3 different opinions, but maybe that might help? 🙂 There is this kibbe type page on reddit where ppl post their pics and ask questions. Some ppl are good at seeing body types.
Oh my goodness I feel like I’m in the same boat.. it’s a possibility I could be a dramatic natural but I could be wrong 😆 would be amazing to classify some viewers :)
i work as an actor and all your tips are really helpful....if i want to look taller and a little older and glam i follow my Kibbe to a tea (SG) but if i want to look a bit more plain or younger I will often do the things i shouldn't to make myself look smaller/more soft
This is making me think I'm a flamboyant gamine! I'm short, between 5'2 and 5'3. I look tall when standing alone and have moderate limbs (long vertical line). I look good in masculine styles but also in girly clothing. I have small hands. I also have "soft flesh", I'm not curvy but I have soft lines except in the shoulders. I have moderate-broad shoulders. The other types I've thought I was are soft classic, soft natural and soft dramatic.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your videos and the time put into this series. I never understood why some garments looks so strange on me but great on others. This series has helped me alot in understanding the balance between garment and body. Your work is super appreciated and looking forward to more from your channel ☺.
I thought I’d be theatrical romantic but now I’m not so sure, maybe soft classic instead..😅 I’d love to hear you talk more about creating flattering outfits or just overall styling tips!
Thank you so much for making so much content based off the Kibbe body types! I appreciate having so many references to figure out my body type. I'm 100% romantic, although I thought I might have been a mixture of romantic and theatrical romantic at first.
I am just 5ft tall but I couldn’t really consider myself petite in some way. My waistline is 25 and clothes in the petite section never fit me right. Pants in the petite section is always tight on me at the crotch area and I also have broad shoulder and I am often called as “hanger” by my friends so any size of top may it be XL looks right on me it just gives a different vibe.
Ingenue is more an essence than bodytype, it is or Youtfull or Innocent . Another essence is Ethereal and it has many combos , 18 exactly. It has components like Noble and Angelic . Ethereal can do combos with ingenue and this creates confusion to the bodytype. You can be sharp but still look soft because Innocent essence in your construction.
Im always on the fence about if I'm soft classic or soft gamine. Because I'm petite, but I feel like my limbs are all proportionate. I could also be romantic possibly, but it's hard to tell with the examples because I'm skinny-- but I'm not boney.
@@Dan_Chiron I'm not curvy or thick, so I always assumed I wasn't in the romantic category. I could just be soft classic. I do have an instagram (or we can talk about it amongst each other) to help with classifying! my birthday is coming up and i rly need to find the right dress!
@@elektrakomplexet Good question! really not sure. Honestly I do have an instagram if you'd like to see! any advice is appreciated bc my bday is coming up and I want to make sure I'm picking the right clothing for my body type!
@@nanihime If you feel comfortable with sharing your insta, sure! I would advice you to just buy something that fits your own silhouette and lines rather than a “body type”. Kibbe is not actually about body types but image IDs, which means everyone within an image ID has different needs for accommodation etc. I would just look at how fabrics would hang on your body.
Hi Aly. It would be great to see a video where you show the same piece of clothing styled for each body id ie how can we all wear a white shirt or navy blazer? Thx 🙏🏼💗
Same here. I'm stuck between gamine and soft gamine I can't decide which type is my body, ( I'm 5'2 ), especially since I'm underweight also because they say gamine "does no longer exist" even though I don't know why.. If you've found your type please let me know how.
Great video as always, also short story about my friend. She is just 160 cm (so smoll) I was so sure that she has to be gaminish type but it turned out that she is soft classic! She looks great in those lines.
I am 5’2 & believe I am a Soft Classic. Whenever I tell someone my height that almost always say “you don’t seem that short” is that because of the “classic” balance?
the more I listen to this stuff, the more confusing I find it. I was typed by a professional as a Classic. When I follow those lines, I look my best I believe. But I am 5'2.5 and if I listen to what you say here about Classics snot being anything but average length, this contradicts what this expert typed me as. I'm sticking with Classic but I find all this detail a bit more confusing even though I apprecite that you try to help, as do all you kibbe believers. It leads me to believe this kibbe stuff is interpretive instead of more factual.
I'm 5'3 and thought I might be soft classic, mostly because I get told I have very balanced proportions - meaning I have long arms and legs for my height, so it kinda elongates me even though I'm short... I thought maybe I could be gamine but from the description I don't think I fit in it at all!
Look at your silhouette alone. Forget about limbs for a moment. They’re not to be accounted for in your line. Only your silhouette from shoulders to knees. Are you still elongated if you only look at that?
One possibility with theatrical romantic is you can have short arms and legs but a longer torso/smaller head longish vertical line + narrow thing going on. Where shorter hems and gamine lines are worse for you than the whole 1930s long gown smooth line thing kibbe had mentioned. You don't wanna break up your vertical line too much there. Boldness and contrast can really work against you.
@@roxy4055 SG isn't just about looking short. It's about being petite - which is small in every direction, including a narrow and sharp bone structure. Soft Naturals can 100% be very short and still accommodate width.
Aly, thank you for another amazing video! 💜 I’m 164, but people don’t see me as short. They’re always surprised when I reveal my height. I’m a Soft Dramatic with a strong vertical line - very long, slender arms, proportionally long legs and slim body with hourglass proportions. When I take a picture with my Soft Gamine best friend, it seems like I’m very tall next to her.
Same here. I'm 4'11" but even my own mother forgets how short my literal measurement is and is always surprised when reminded. Meanwhile, I can wear average clothes, including skinny jeans (ie."average" ; not petite inside leg) and men's shirts. I am very broad and always look "chubby" according to others, no matter my actual weight.
ive been identifying myself as a soft classic this whole time but my main concern is that im not even that tall- like, not even average tall... actually is 5ft tall considered average
And if we knew exactly what type of kibbe we were, what good would that do us? In my opinion, these categorisations are mainly designed to make money for some people or to try to force us into patterns and neglect our individuality. This is also shown by how difficult or even impossible it is to find out your personal type .
I am a bit confused because I do have soft characteristics and I am petite but most people think I'm taller than what my actual height is. I'm 5'2 but people give me 5'4 on the average
What about for Latinas? It’s so hard for me to figure out because I’m actually tall compared to most of my family who are not taller than 5’2” (I’m 5’2”). I have broad shoulders though and not many curves unless I choose to emphasize them. Not long legs, long torso. No hips but a good butt. Not sure what that counts as.
I have almost same proportions as you. (I am Indian). I cant figure out my kibbe type too. Like I do not have overtly hourglass figure but I am on somewhat curvy side.
Ally I so appreciate your perspective on beauty in general. Ive watched a couple of videos on long faces and it was helpful but I still feel like I am a struggling to figure out my overall vibe and what works for my features/personality. Do you ever do virtual consultations? Would love a suggestion on haircut shape for my specific features which I feel are super unique. Also entering a new stage in my life where I want to be approached more professionally if that makes sense.
Isabelle Huppert is 160cm, but she's still Classic according to Kibbie. So maybe Classics still can be on the petit side. Also Joan Crowford is pretty small and Dramatic
Will you do a segments on: 1) Best brands that typically sell items for specific body types and age groups. 2) Also will you show real everyday people body- types of various weights and ages ( cover faces) maybe volunteers to show variations and at side and at back angles. 3) Have real people wear several clothes that are wrong then have them adjust or change to fit their body type. Thanks.
i have never heard of this whole thing before but i like the concept. some people told me that i need to be careful to not do fatshaming on other people. but actually its all about body shape. for example i am naturally thin but i am far far away from looking like a model. others have a little bit more fat, but because the structure of their body gives places for the fat to stay, they still look awesome. would you agree that eg someone with a wider structure can more easily have some body fat, and a person with a slimmer structure would actually look fat with the same amount of fat like the other person. ?
Bodies and heights differ across the globe. Like on my country 152cm isn’t short. It’s the average height, do such factors effect the body type a person has?
Could you make a video on which body types , short hair suit the best. I know gamines pull of shorter hair but, Charlize Theron being a flamboyant natural pulls off a pixie quite well. So I want to know what does it take, keeping in mind the body type and overall essence of a person that makes a particular hairstyles look best on them.
Any image ID can carry short hair, it’s just within gamine recs to have short hair. To properly pull off a “Gamine” HTT outfit you need short hair, that’s not necessary for the other image IDs.
@@elektrakomplexet I don't think everyone looks good with short hair e.g Monica Bellucci in short hair looks disproportionate, it takes a certain essence along with body type to pull off a particular style.
@@Dee-sr4lt No, of course not. It’s about your own individual lines etc. But all I am saying is that every image ID CAN have short hair if they want, and possibly look good in it.
@@elektrakomplexet yes of course, anyone can embrace whatever style they wish to but, since we are on this channel ,trying to find a style that is harmonious with our individual lines and the main reason being I want to go for a pixie cut myself 😁😁
Vertical line is not about perceived height as it appears to be in this video. Pictures distorts angles, and anyone can look short or really tall from them. I’m a Kibbe SD, my vertical line is moderate to long, even though I look short on pictures and people tell me I look short. But since vertical line is about your lines from shoulders to knees, since I have an elongated curve that means vertical. The distance from my shoulders to knees is moderate to long, that won’t happen if I was a romantic. Which means I have to be SD because I need to accommodate my elongated curve in silhouette. At this point I’m just going to stop watch her videos. It’s sad to see her trying to correct herself only to spread more misinformation in the end.
I am 5'2 and I think I am SN, cause usualy people are surprised when they learn my measurments they assume I am taller and they say I don't look as heavy as my weight I (heavy bones I guess🙈). I have broarder back, ribcage and joints.
I think it also depends on your age. In one of her videos Aly said that you cannot really tell your bodytype until you're in your early/mid twenties because until then many young women still have some of that "teenage" softness.
I think her "width" is based on more softer flesh on her upper arms. I don't see blunt bones or wider shoulders. If you compare to Shakira, you can see a difference. Shakira looks stronger in her bones. And Haydens head looks bigger in contrast to her height.
Not relatad to kibbe but I recently found out my body shape is called a figure 8. I asked someone on a kibbe reddit page what they thought I was on the kibbe system and they said they didnt think i was a gamine like i figured I was since im 5 foot even and instead thought I was a soft natural. Its hard to tell because my face is sharp but my body is super rounded and... squishy lol. Long looking legs that are thin at the calves and thicker near the upper thigh (same thing with my arms) then a short torso with high hips with lots of squishy love handles and a lower belly pooch.
My body fits perfectly in to TR apart from my legs are long in comparison to my torso . I look best in TR lines but look bad in a mini dress unless it's high neck ( I have a long vertical line) I'm 5'3 , very narrow boned , narrow tiny hands , short arms , narrow slightly sharp shoulders ,but wide hips and wide ankles 🤷♀️
Most likely FG, maybe SN. Visual pear shape in Kibbe is considered yang because the soft image IDs all have to accommodate curve. But SN accommodates width so it’s possible for them to have a slight pear shape as well. But SN is a yang image ID. Same with SD. With a visual pear shape you cannot be SC, R, TR or SG.
@@elektrakomplexet I used to think I was SG and had to through this whole thing. My face is entirely ying and my flesh is very soft. Beyonce is an example of a romantic pear shape.
Hey Aly I still struggle to find out if I am romantic or theatrical romantic, a small question: can I be theatrical romantic but have a soft/rounded a bit wide nose?
Could someone identify with a type basing on outfits? Kinda like a reverse approach, i don't know if I'm explaining properly. I'm quite short (157 cm, I guess it would convert to 5ft15in) and I can't figure out my type just by looking at the proportions as my face and upper body are quite angular but my bottom has more flesh, I have long legs in comparison to my torso which is shorter with defined waist. I don't look good in romantic and natural silhouettes, long vertical lines drag me down, excessive fabric and very girly details make me look like I'm dressing up for a masquerade. I see myself best in short, angular, sleek silhouettes that I think are associated with gamine, but my body is not straight nor boyish at all.
I’m 5’6 but constantly get called petite because my bones and frame are very very small and delicate in person. But in pictures I just look super tall. My head looks big compared to my body lol. I used to think I was FG but the lines don’t totally work on me. Then I tried SN but I needed more waste emphasis. Now I think I’m SD
******* Dear Aly: I´ve been watching your videos forever. Thank you so much for all the valuable info for women. I cannot figure out what my body type is... PLEASE HELP ME!!! Height 4.75 ft./ Petite head, perfect for my height. Long, elegant neck. In fact everyone thinks I´m taller than I am. Shoulders 16 in. wide in the front / Bust 31.49 in./ Waist 23 IN./ Hips 36.22 in./ My hips are exactly in line with my shoulders. Thin bones/ Oblong face (took measurements), curly, red hair (dyed), gray eyes, ivory skin. Always have looked a lot younger than my age. I´m sick, struggling to get healthy and strong again, and am planning on a full makeover, so I can look my best for the last few decades of my life. It would really change my personal life and work and I would really appreciate it very much if you could help me. Thank you so much in advance! Keep up the marvelous work, please! My daughter and I love you. XOXO
What type is Natalie Portman? She has the tiniest proportions. There’s a shot in ‘Closer’ where she hugs Jude Law towards the end and her arms from elbow to hand, and her wrists and hands are so childlike. She’s so tiny
I’m trying to figure out what body type I have. I’m just now discovering these different names for body types u are describing. I have kind of a large ribcage but small waist. I am 5 foot but in photos I don’t look like a short woman. Like my arms aren’t short and stubby. I have a bigger curvy butt. And thicker thighs and thick upper legs. I’d love to know what exactly to call my body type. Is there a way I can email u some photos of my body ? This is so interesting and I’d love to know what exactly my body type is . Btw My measurements are 25 waist, 38 hips . 33 bust. I have scoliosis as well so my left ribcage does protrude out slightly which I hate because it makes me feel ugly and so with that it measures 28 and a half and if that rib didn’t protrude out I’d only be 26 and a half around my rib cage making my torso look so much better with having a 25 inch waist. So I feel my body looks mis proportioned to me. Does anyone else have this issue of having a small waist, shapely hips , but rib cage kinda of big for being a petite woman?
At 5’6” you will not have petite proportions in Kibbe’s system. I’m a 5’5” SD, but my inseam is 27” and I always buy petite in shirts as well. But since my curve is so elongated at my height, I have vertical. And since I have vertical I cannot be petite. At your height, your vertical will automatically be moderate to long. Which means you cannot be any petite types, because you cannot be petite in Kibbe if you’re above 5’5”.
Sarah Jessica Parker always confuses me because she looks sooo short and always has to me. How do people get vertical line? Don't trust me though I'm just watching this after months of avoiding Kibbe types. I tried to figure mine out last year and had to stop due to how bad I began to feel about myself.

You're right, typing smaller bodies is tricky. I'm latina and, particularly in my country, the average height for women is 160cm.
I'm 157cm soft gamine, my mom is a 160cm theatrical romantic, one of my friends is 161cm sof natural and another one is 163cm soft classic. We definitely have to take a longer look onto our proportions, mannerisms and bone structure.
Great video!

Can you do anothet comparison between petite kibbe celebrties? Shakira's height and type was surprising to me - her type makes sense, but it's just not common to hear of petite soft naturals. I think I would love a comparison of celebrties that are on the shorter side of petite women who range from 4'11"- 5'2" since a lot of times the comparison videos are of women who are actually somewhat moderate in height. A video that's focused on the short end of petite would be helpful for understanding the differences in these types especially in my ethnic background (Asian).
Yess!! I hope Aly will cover this too. As an Asian with a short body (~5') I find it hard to determine what my body type is
Exactly!!! 👋🏻
Yes, right!!
I like this idea, I’m only 4’11 and it’s hard to see past the R and G families, but I discovered I have “large bones”, so I think I might be SN… but I’m out of shape too… I need some chubby short people tying 😆😆
Yess
I feel that when we talk about whether a person is "short" or "tall", we should put ethnicity into consideration too (e.g. "short" for Dutch women is not the same concept as "short" for other ethnicities, as they're very tall in general). America is a weird place where people of all ethnicities are put on the same scale to compare, whereas in other places that is very rare. Lucy Liu will be a "short" dramatic classic in a white person's perspective, but compare to her own ethnicity, people from Hong Kong and Guang Dong, especially compare to those of her age and generation (younger generations have way better nutrition), she is rather tall.
so true, i get called short here in the UK (im five foot 4) but my family is from sri lanka, where women are around 5 foot on average
very true. i am from the netherlands, i am 5.7 and there, that is considered on the shorter side. this is my peeve with the kibbe system. it hasnt evolved since the eighties when people were shorter. the kibbe system these days seems an instrument for short people to claim a place in the world
How or why would that video exist? So all the explaining she is doing which some people find hard to follow (I don't but many do) she has to additionally say, "this person is petite/short but according to her ethnic backgrounds... name all... she is tall" focus on the content.
This is so true. At 5 ft tall I'm normal/average height for an Indian woman but in my country which is very diverse, I'm very petite.
@@sanamsitaram7940 Same. I’m 5’1” and white, so basically extremely short compared to most other white people. However, there are even people shorter than me from time to time and I’m reminded that a lot of it has to do with genes/ethnicity. I’m not alone in this world! I visited China and found a lot more people closer to my height, guys and girls. It was wild because I felt like I actually fit in more as a more “average”-sized person there! 🤩
Great info, helpful.
Can't wait for the styling video.
As a very petite ( 4'11) soft gamine, i have trouble styling maxi and midi dresses. I have trouble in general because i tend to look wider and heavier than i am, even though i am not heavy. And as an older woman, minis can look a bit too youngish on me. 🙄 Help please, lol
You can opt for 'cut' lines. When I say that I mean you can use contrasting colors for clothes, if you wear dresses you can put on a belt in a contrasting color, as well as complementing your outfits with a blazer and some sort of element that brings a level of structure to the outfit (like a flowing dress with a linen blazer and a nice belt on the waist).
I remember when i first got into kibbe i had hard time finding my type because i'm short but i did not match any of "typical" short types like romantic or gamine body-wise. Later i would discover i was actually short soft natural.
Soft naturals can be short, their vertical is short to moderate. Before the removal of pure N SNs vertical could only be short.
Me too!
Me too!
So good to see SJP (Sarah J Parker) feature in this, as you say, a rare example of flamboyant natural. She is an inspiring character.
I'm Asian. A Filipina. And I'm VERY petite. In fact, my nephew calls me "midget" yet no, I'm not. My height which is 4'9/4'10 is NOT RARE in my country.
Yet, ppl whom I can compare myself with in terms of height are either bigger or smaller in their structure.
I have a friend, she's same height as me, and she's a bit overweight but her hands are much smaller than mine. I also have a tita (aunt), who has the same height, yet I'm not sure if I'm just fatter but regardless, I think she's thinner but with bigger hands/feet I think. Or maybe were in the same category but I could not think of her as Gamine.
Bec if we'll think of just height then, then we'll be putting a lot of Asians in Gamine category or type.
We need updated version of Kibbe otherwise Asians we need to have our own
I don't think we'd all necessarily fall under gamines, like Aly said you have to take into consideration a person's proportions in relation to their height. That includes bone structure, facial features, symmetry and whatnot. I have a friend who's the same height as you but she's definitely fuller figured and would probably be under theatrical romantic or just romantic. Im taller than her (just shy of 5'3) and am much narrower and have a pretty good combination of delicate and sharpness (and just straight up massive eyes), so I'm most likely under gamine. My mother's the same height as me but her figure is more comparable with my friend's (lush and much more soft, like a romantic). And another friend who's the same height but is definitely more muscular her overall look is that of a natural's.
So it isn't just about height, and I think it's normal to have deviations. Also, the kibbe system isn't infallible and isn't always going to be 100% right every time. Haha just my two cents as a fellow filipina
I expected you to only mention the short body types but you actually listed them all... you nailed it once again, Aly!
Aly, can you make this styling video that you mentioned next? I'm really looking forward to seeing it! 😍
Yes, me too.
Do you need your waist to ne emphasized? Do you look good when not dressing to your curves?
You don’t talk about classic type as much as the other types! Please do more classic
I'm still so confused!!! I'll think I'm one category then flip to a different one! I still absolutely love watching these!
Can you please do a service where you classify viewers? I’ve been watching your videos for forever and I still don’t know what I am.
I can't figure it out either and the more videos I watch the more confused I get because I'm like, I guess I *could* be that too? 🤷🏻♀️ lol
I hope she does, I would be so happy if she decides to provide such services! I hope she can do colour analysis too!
You should try reddit. You'll get like 2-3 different opinions, but maybe that might help? 🙂 There is this kibbe type page on reddit where ppl post their pics and ask questions.
Some ppl are good at seeing body types.
@@jinieroses8038 thank you!
Oh my goodness I feel like I’m in the same boat.. it’s a possibility I could be a dramatic natural but I could be wrong 😆 would be amazing to classify some viewers :)
Thanks sooo much I'm petite and have been waiting for this love u🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
i work as an actor and all your tips are really helpful....if i want to look taller and a little older and glam i follow my Kibbe to a tea (SG) but if i want to look a bit more plain or younger I will often do the things i shouldn't to make myself look smaller/more soft
This is making me think I'm a flamboyant gamine!
I'm short, between 5'2 and 5'3. I look tall when standing alone and have moderate limbs (long vertical line). I look good in masculine styles but also in girly clothing. I have small hands. I also have "soft flesh", I'm not curvy but I have soft lines except in the shoulders. I have moderate-broad shoulders.
The other types I've thought I was are soft classic, soft natural and soft dramatic.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your videos and the time put into this series. I never understood why some garments looks so strange on me but great on others. This series has helped me alot in understanding the balance between garment and body. Your work is super appreciated and looking forward to more from your channel ☺.
I thought I’d be theatrical romantic but now I’m not so sure, maybe soft classic instead..😅 I’d love to hear you talk more about creating flattering outfits or just overall styling tips!
I am a petite 5' 2" with 32B cups, short torso, long legs, oval/diamond face....confused as to what i am.
Mee too!! Same description, just add that I'm skinny but fleshy with thick legs. I have zero idea.
Lol this is my description 😂
Probably Flamboyant Gamine
Thank you so much for making so much content based off the Kibbe body types! I appreciate having so many references to figure out my body type. I'm 100% romantic, although I thought I might have been a mixture of romantic and theatrical romantic at first.
I'm 150cm with very wide hips and short legs. I feel so ridiculous 😔
I am just 5ft tall but I couldn’t really consider myself petite in some way. My waistline is 25 and clothes in the petite section never fit me right. Pants in the petite section is always tight on me at the crotch area and I also have broad shoulder and I am often called as “hanger” by my friends so any size of top may it be XL looks right on me it just gives a different vibe.
I am 10000% petite theatrical romantic. Thank you for this it’s soooo informative ❤️
I just watched you singing your face off to Michael Jackson’s “thriller”.
Alyona has such a bueatiful voice i cant 😭💗
Heeeeeeey, I‘m obsessed now in your series „Body Types“ . So eye opening about certain style questions etc. . Thank you so much for this 🤗🌻
I know Kibbe seems to ignore this body type exists, but could you do a video on the ingenue body type?? 🥰
Ingenue doesn’t exist in Kibbe’s system. Ingenue is incorporated into both SN and SG.
Ingenue is more an essence than bodytype, it is or Youtfull or Innocent . Another essence is Ethereal and it has many combos , 18 exactly. It has components like Noble and Angelic . Ethereal can do combos with ingenue and this creates confusion to the bodytype. You can be sharp but still look soft because Innocent essence in your construction.
Im always on the fence about if I'm soft classic or soft gamine. Because I'm petite, but I feel like my limbs are all proportionate. I could also be romantic possibly, but it's hard to tell with the examples because I'm skinny-- but I'm not boney.
The way you describe yourself as in-between soft gamine and soft classic makes me think you might be a theatrical romantic.
Kibbe does not take your limbs into consideration. How does the lines in your silhouette from shoulders to knees appear? Accommodation needs etc?
@@Dan_Chiron I'm not curvy or thick, so I always assumed I wasn't in the romantic category. I could just be soft classic. I do have an instagram (or we can talk about it amongst each other) to help with classifying! my birthday is coming up and i rly need to find the right dress!
@@elektrakomplexet Good question! really not sure. Honestly I do have an instagram if you'd like to see! any advice is appreciated bc my bday is coming up and I want to make sure I'm picking the right clothing for my body type!
@@nanihime If you feel comfortable with sharing your insta, sure! I would advice you to just buy something that fits your own silhouette and lines rather than a “body type”. Kibbe is not actually about body types but image IDs, which means everyone within an image ID has different needs for accommodation etc. I would just look at how fabrics would hang on your body.
Hi Aly. It would be great to see a video where you show the same piece of clothing styled for each body id ie how can we all wear a white shirt or navy blazer? Thx 🙏🏼💗
And I still don’t know my bodytype. I really struggle with it
Me too :(
Same. I’ve been looking at this for two weeks and I don’t know what I am. 🤷🏻♀️
Me too
Same here.
I'm stuck between gamine and soft gamine I can't decide which type is my body, ( I'm 5'2 ), especially since I'm underweight also because they say gamine "does no longer exist" even though I don't know why..
If you've found your type please let me know how.
Great video as always, also short story about my friend. She is just 160 cm (so smoll) I was so sure that she has to be gaminish type but it turned out that she is soft classic! She looks great in those lines.
I am 5’2 & believe I am a Soft Classic. Whenever I tell someone my height that almost always say “you don’t seem that short” is that because of the “classic” balance?
I'm 5'2 too, but everyone thinks I'm shorter lol
I'm 5'1 dramatic classic and people also tend to think I'm taller than I really am... And I hear often that my legs are long.
@@paolamaistro you are too short to be that type lol
Same, some people think I’m 5’6-5’8 lol
As always.... I am more confused than the last time.
Same
Wtf am i
Hahaha I just commented that myself. Just can't figure it out 🤦♀️
Same here
Please do a Dramatic style review! Maybe Eva Green? Amazing video as always Aly :)
the more I listen to this stuff, the more confusing I find it. I was typed by a professional as a Classic. When I follow those lines, I look my best I believe. But I am 5'2.5 and if I listen to what you say here about Classics snot being anything but average length, this contradicts what this expert typed me as. I'm sticking with Classic but I find all this detail a bit more confusing even though I apprecite that you try to help, as do all you kibbe believers. It leads me to believe this kibbe stuff is interpretive instead of more factual.
Maybe you're a soft classic as they can be a but shorter 🙂
@@kellyann3832 Thanks, Kelly Ann. I actually am a Soft Classic, so I appreciate your comment which was helpfui!
She did mention in the video that there are short people in types that aren't considered petite
I'm 5'3 and thought I might be soft classic, mostly because I get told I have very balanced proportions - meaning I have long arms and legs for my height, so it kinda elongates me even though I'm short... I thought maybe I could be gamine but from the description I don't think I fit in it at all!
I'm a FG, I have long legs and arms. Took me like a year of research. I'm only 5'3 as well.
How long is your torso?
@@PleaseEnterANam3 if you're asking me... Mine is about 13 inches maybe a little longer 😊
Look at your silhouette alone. Forget about limbs for a moment. They’re not to be accounted for in your line. Only your silhouette from shoulders to knees. Are you still elongated if you only look at that?
@@elektrakomplexet I think so.😆
One possibility with theatrical romantic is you can have short arms and legs but a longer torso/smaller head longish vertical line + narrow thing going on. Where shorter hems and gamine lines are worse for you than the whole 1930s long gown smooth line thing kibbe had mentioned. You don't wanna break up your vertical line too much there. Boldness and contrast can really work against you.
I feel like Hayden Panettiere is so clearly Soft Natural. Although she is short, she clearly has upper body width as well as curve.
But she has very short lines. She looks very short.
@@roxy4055 SN can be short. Their vertical is short to moderate.
@@roxy4055 SG isn't just about looking short. It's about being petite - which is small in every direction, including a narrow and sharp bone structure. Soft Naturals can 100% be very short and still accommodate width.
@@user-iw4yl7fp9p Yep, because having width means you cannot be short all over since it’s a horizontal line in upper body.
Aly, thank you for another amazing video! 💜 I’m 164, but people don’t see me as short. They’re always surprised when I reveal my height. I’m a Soft Dramatic with a strong vertical line - very long, slender arms, proportionally long legs and slim body with hourglass proportions. When I take a picture with my Soft Gamine best friend, it seems like I’m very tall next to her.
Same here.
I'm 4'11" but even my own mother forgets how short my literal measurement is and is always surprised when reminded.
Meanwhile, I can wear average clothes, including skinny jeans (ie."average" ; not petite inside leg) and men's shirts.
I am very broad and always look "chubby" according to others, no matter my actual weight.
ive been identifying myself as a soft classic this whole time but my main concern is that im not even that tall- like, not even average tall...
actually is 5ft tall considered average
Same. 5'1/2" here. Long face that's more angular but otherwise seem to be SC? Or SG? Or SN?
And if we knew exactly what type of kibbe we were, what good would that do us? In my opinion, these categorisations are mainly designed to make money for some people or to try to force us into patterns and neglect our individuality. This is also shown by how difficult or even impossible it is to find out your personal type .
Finally a petitte guide!! I was so confused
can you please make a video about long torso's?
I am a bit confused because I do have soft characteristics and I am petite but most people think I'm taller than what my actual height is. I'm 5'2 but people give me 5'4 on the average
Not gamine then if your vertical line is obviously short. Maybe one of the romantics? Or classics?
@@juliat9211 i'm still searching
What about for Latinas? It’s so hard for me to figure out because I’m actually tall compared to most of my family who are not taller than 5’2” (I’m 5’2”). I have broad shoulders though and not many curves unless I choose to emphasize them. Not long legs, long torso. No hips but a good butt. Not sure what that counts as.
I have almost same proportions as you. (I am Indian). I cant figure out my kibbe type too. Like I do not have overtly hourglass figure but I am on somewhat curvy side.
Youre probably a soft natural!
Thanks for the content! I'd love to know how to dress professional for romantics and/or soft gamines. Or a Natalie Wood style video!
Thank you for doing this as this was what I’ve been waiting for💋
Ally I so appreciate your perspective on beauty in general. Ive watched a couple of videos on long faces and it was helpful but I still feel like I am a struggling to figure out my overall vibe and what works for my features/personality. Do you ever do virtual consultations? Would love a suggestion on haircut shape for my specific features which I feel are super unique. Also entering a new stage in my life where I want to be approached more professionally if that makes sense.
Isabelle Huppert is 160cm, but she's still Classic according to Kibbie. So maybe Classics still can be on the petit side. Also Joan Crowford is pretty small and Dramatic
Will you do a segments on:
1) Best brands that typically sell items for specific body types and age groups.
2) Also will you show real everyday people body- types of various weights and ages ( cover faces) maybe volunteers to show variations and at side and at back angles.
3) Have real people wear several clothes that are wrong then have them adjust or change to fit their body type.
Thanks.
I call us “pixie girls”
i have never heard of this whole thing before but i like the concept. some people told me that i need to be careful to not do fatshaming on other people. but actually its all about body shape. for example i am naturally thin but i am far far away from looking like a model. others have a little bit more fat, but because the structure of their body gives places for the fat to stay, they still look awesome. would you agree that eg someone with a wider structure can more easily have some body fat, and a person with a slimmer structure would actually look fat with the same amount of fat like the other person. ?
The more things I watch the more confused I get! I don't know if I'm a Romantic, Soft Classic or Soft Gamine! Ahhh!
This is really helpful thank you
Bodies and heights differ across the globe. Like on my country 152cm isn’t short. It’s the average height, do such factors effect the body type a person has?
Yay! Another video aimed at me!!
Please make a video on hairstyle/cuts or styling tips for lopsided face
I'm 5 feet tall and still undecided if I'm flamboyant gamine, gamine (although it doesn't exist anymore for Kibbe) or soft gamine.
This was helpful for my 5’2” (but I feel taller) self.
I could be soft natural, gamine, soft gamine, flamboyant gamine or romantic 😂😂 I don't know if I'll ever figure this out lmao
Hmmm... I previously thought I was soft natural; but looking at this video I now think I might be romantic 🤷♀️
Could you make a video on which body types , short hair suit the best. I know gamines pull of shorter hair but, Charlize Theron being a flamboyant natural pulls off a pixie quite well. So I want to know what does it take, keeping in mind the body type and overall essence of a person that makes a particular hairstyles look best on them.
Any image ID can carry short hair, it’s just within gamine recs to have short hair. To properly pull off a “Gamine” HTT outfit you need short hair, that’s not necessary for the other image IDs.
@@elektrakomplexet I don't think everyone looks good with short hair e.g Monica Bellucci in short hair looks disproportionate, it takes a certain essence along with body type to pull off a particular style.
@@Dee-sr4lt No, of course not. It’s about your own individual lines etc. But all I am saying is that every image ID CAN have short hair if they want, and possibly look good in it.
@@elektrakomplexet yes of course, anyone can embrace whatever style they wish to but, since we are on this channel ,trying to find a style that is harmonious with our individual lines and the main reason being I want to go for a pixie cut myself 😁😁
I am so happy you made this vid ....
Vertical line is not about perceived height as it appears to be in this video. Pictures distorts angles, and anyone can look short or really tall from them. I’m a Kibbe SD, my vertical line is moderate to long, even though I look short on pictures and people tell me I look short. But since vertical line is about your lines from shoulders to knees, since I have an elongated curve that means vertical. The distance from my shoulders to knees is moderate to long, that won’t happen if I was a romantic. Which means I have to be SD because I need to accommodate my elongated curve in silhouette. At this point I’m just going to stop watch her videos. It’s sad to see her trying to correct herself only to spread more misinformation in the end.
I'm 5'1 😊
I'm 5'
@@Torihappyness me too
I think im an SN with a romantic undercurrent and essence! Complicated, but I think I've finally ID'd myself.
I am 5'2 and I think I am SN, cause usualy people are surprised when they learn my measurments they assume I am taller and they say I don't look as heavy as my weight I (heavy bones I guess🙈). I have broarder back, ribcage and joints.
I think that Eva Green is not just Dramatic, her body have some softness. I think she is soft dramatic, look at her carefully
Ds can have softness. She does not accommodate curve.
I am close to 5"3, and I have an hourglass shape.
Really want to hear your current thoughts on your own body type! Did they change or remain the same or are you between a couple?
im 162 cm (5’3.5) and i weigh 105 lbs 48 kg with a small frame is this petite?
Yes
No. Petite in Kibbe is about proportion. Veronica Lake (SC) was 4’11” big Kibbe did not consider her to be petite
The video I was waiting for.
I'm tallish 5'6'' can i be soft Classic? I have a soft face
Yes, Classics are about 5'5" due to the book
I think it also depends on your age. In one of her videos Aly said that you cannot really tell your bodytype until you're in your early/mid twenties because until then many young women still have some of that "teenage" softness.
@@Vananessaa hmm maybe
Yes, the upper limit for SC is 5'6", for DC it's 5'7"
@@Vananessaa that is true, I had huge problem to type myself when I was teenager (highschool/studies), because the body just wasn't fully developt.
Im TR but I have long legs for my height . I'm 5'3 but I'm a 30" leg. Long legs can be apart of the dramatic essence of TR
Can you be soft gamine even if you have a straighter waist and broad shoulders ( like hayden panettiere) but with skinnier thighs?
I agree. Hayden P is a SN. She has upper width in her torso, athletic frame and blunt bones.
No, Hayden Panettiere is not verified SG either. She’s most likely SN like the other commented said.
I think her "width" is based on more softer flesh on her upper arms. I don't see blunt bones or wider shoulders. If you compare to Shakira, you can see a difference. Shakira looks stronger in her bones. And Haydens head looks bigger in contrast to her height.
@@chunkysanni5093 There’s ni such thing as “blunt bones”. Bones are always yang in Kibbe.
Blunt angles in bones and bigger bones of course. Sorry, my mistake.
I would love to see a video about wedding dresses for each body type ♥️♥️
Do you go over People’s body types on Patreon?
Not relatad to kibbe but I recently found out my body shape is called a figure 8. I asked someone on a kibbe reddit page what they thought I was on the kibbe system and they said they didnt think i was a gamine like i figured I was since im 5 foot even and instead thought I was a soft natural. Its hard to tell because my face is sharp but my body is super rounded and... squishy lol. Long looking legs that are thin at the calves and thicker near the upper thigh (same thing with my arms) then a short torso with high hips with lots of squishy love handles and a lower belly pooch.
Please make a video on height requirement for runway models
I m soft classic but my height is 5 feet. Is it possible?? I took the kibbe test several times.
My body fits perfectly in to TR apart from my legs are long in comparison to my torso . I look best in TR lines but look bad in a mini dress unless it's high neck ( I have a long vertical line) I'm 5'3 , very narrow boned , narrow tiny hands , short arms , narrow slightly sharp shoulders ,but wide hips and wide ankles 🤷♀️
What about pear shaped bodies? I’m 5’1, narrow shoulders and slim arms and waist and then boing!! Fat thighs and calves. I’m so confused.
I'm pretty similar, but 5'3". But I'm a romantic.
I am the same what does it meeeean
@@idkwhybut... You cannot be romantic and have a pear shape. Pear shape is yang.
Most likely FG, maybe SN. Visual pear shape in Kibbe is considered yang because the soft image IDs all have to accommodate curve. But SN accommodates width so it’s possible for them to have a slight pear shape as well. But SN is a yang image ID. Same with SD. With a visual pear shape you cannot be SC, R, TR or SG.
@@elektrakomplexet I used to think I was SG and had to through this whole thing. My face is entirely ying and my flesh is very soft. Beyonce is an example of a romantic pear shape.
I don't think someone over 155cm is petite. It was confusing
I'm 160 I consider myself petite
Hey Aly I still struggle to find out if I am romantic or theatrical romantic, a small question: can I be theatrical romantic but have a soft/rounded a bit wide nose?
Could someone identify with a type basing on outfits? Kinda like a reverse approach, i don't know if I'm explaining properly. I'm quite short (157 cm, I guess it would convert to 5ft15in) and I can't figure out my type just by looking at the proportions as my face and upper body are quite angular but my bottom has more flesh, I have long legs in comparison to my torso which is shorter with defined waist. I don't look good in romantic and natural silhouettes, long vertical lines drag me down, excessive fabric and very girly details make me look like I'm dressing up for a masquerade. I see myself best in short, angular, sleek silhouettes that I think are associated with gamine, but my body is not straight nor boyish at all.
I’m 5’6 but constantly get called petite because my bones and frame are very very small and delicate in person. But in pictures I just look super tall. My head looks big compared to my body lol. I used to think I was FG but the lines don’t totally work on me. Then I tried SN but I needed more waste emphasis. Now I think I’m SD
Is 5'3 petite?
It's average height in the US, but requires petite pants length, which are made for really tall people. So for clothing sizing it's petite.
@@screamtoasigh9984 5' 3 is not average in America, its 5' 5 so technically its petite

******* Dear Aly:
I´ve been watching your videos forever. Thank you so much for all the valuable info for women. I cannot figure out what my body type is... PLEASE HELP ME!!! Height 4.75 ft./ Petite head, perfect for my height. Long, elegant neck. In fact everyone thinks I´m taller than I am. Shoulders 16 in. wide in the front / Bust 31.49 in./ Waist 23 IN./ Hips 36.22 in./ My hips are exactly in line with my shoulders. Thin bones/ Oblong face (took measurements), curly, red hair (dyed), gray eyes, ivory skin. Always have looked a lot younger than my age. I´m sick, struggling to get healthy and strong again, and am planning on a full makeover, so I can look my best for the last few decades of my life. It would really change my personal life and work and I would really appreciate it very much if you could help me. Thank you so much in advance! Keep up the marvelous work, please! My daughter and I love you. XOXO
I’m 148cm and I feel like I’m a miniature version of romantic, ahaha!
What type is Natalie Portman? She has the tiniest proportions. There’s a shot in ‘Closer’ where she hugs Jude Law towards the end and her arms from elbow to hand, and her wrists and hands are so childlike. She’s so tiny
I’m trying to figure out what body type I have. I’m just now discovering these different names for body types u are describing. I have kind of a large ribcage but small waist. I am 5 foot but in photos I don’t look like a short woman. Like my arms aren’t short and stubby. I have a bigger curvy butt. And thicker thighs and thick upper legs. I’d love to know what exactly to call my body type. Is there a way I can email u some photos of my body ? This is so interesting and I’d love to know what exactly my body type is . Btw My measurements are 25 waist, 38 hips . 33 bust. I have scoliosis as well so my left ribcage does protrude out slightly which I hate because it makes me feel ugly and so with that it measures 28 and a half and if that rib didn’t protrude out I’d only be 26 and a half around my rib cage making my torso look so much better with having a 25 inch waist. So I feel my body looks mis proportioned to me. Does anyone else have this issue of having a small waist, shapely hips , but rib cage kinda of big for being a petite woman?
What about if you're average height (5'6"), more weight like plus size, but have petite proportions? Does that make a difference in your type?
At 5’6” you will not have petite proportions in Kibbe’s system. I’m a 5’5” SD, but my inseam is 27” and I always buy petite in shirts as well. But since my curve is so elongated at my height, I have vertical. And since I have vertical I cannot be petite. At your height, your vertical will automatically be moderate to long. Which means you cannot be any petite types, because you cannot be petite in Kibbe if you’re above 5’5”.
Yeah thats how i know I’m soft dramatic at 5’7 because I don’t have the structured face or body. Im more curvy and soft.
I’m really not sure whether I’m a SG or a TR 😭
What’s funny Shakira always seemed taller to me than Jennifer Anniston
Sarah Jessica Parker always confuses me because she looks sooo short and always has to me. How do people get vertical line? Don't trust me though I'm just watching this after months of avoiding Kibbe types. I tried to figure mine out last year and had to stop due to how bad I began to feel about myself.
How do you manage that your hair looks so healthy? It looks like you are coming from the hairdresser every time.
