I only heard of Kibbe for the first time ever here on the forum about 18 months ago. I looked into it and the most helpful site I found is Style Syntax- she has been blogging since 2014 about Kibbe and other systems including some colour ones.<br /> I took the Kibbe quiz on a different site and was mostly Ds, which Kibbe doesn't really categorise. I finished up feeling I fitted Theatrical Romantic apart from my short hair- but until my pixie I did have wavy/curly hair as described. It was quite helpful but I don't follow any of the systems too religiously. I also wonder if I wanted to be TR because I liked Vivien Leigh so much! I was entranced by her growing up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-and-seasons#post-1982024 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 19:38:58 +0000 Toban 1982024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an expert, but ignore the height aspect or it will limit you to gamine or romantic. Think more about shape and proportion. I'm 5'2" and consider myself a soft natural and it works well for me, but would have been ruled out for height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-and-seasons#post-1981916 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:28:40 +0000 Anonymous 1981916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia.</p> <p>I think maybe you are right. I believed I was a flamboyant gamin except for the fact that I have an hourglass figure and I don't look good in anything "boxy" which is supposed to be a thing for flamboyant gamins. Boxy clothes make me look square and heavier. However, I do look good in a mix-match of horizontal and vertical lines and unpredictable things that normally wouldn't go together.&nbsp;</p> <p>Still, I guess that I was hoping that there'd be someone on the forum who was a wee bit of an expert in the Kibbe types. I've been watching the Aly Art videos and they do help a lot. I really appreciate you discussing it with me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-and-seasons#post-1981785 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 03:21:13 +0000 Jaime 1981785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no Kibbe expert but you look taller than you are and have dramatic features, so if you are a gamine it is flamboyant gamine imho. I think one of the flaws in Kibbe's system is it does not allow for shorter dramatics. Again imho! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-and-seasons#post-1981780 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 02:47:32 +0000 Anonymous 1981780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if I am a gamin body type and would love input. As I stated in an earlier post I have an hourglass body but relatively long arms and legs. I thought that I may be a theatrical romantic. Petite pants are often too short for me and petite blouses often have sleeves are too short for me even though I am only 5'2" tall. I'm attaching some photos. Today I went to a boutique in search of a little black dress only to discover that due to my muscular arms and legs that many of the dresses just didn't look right on me. I was hoping that someone on the forum might be able to help me identify my Kibbe type, which I know is only a guide but might give me a staring place. I love the seasonal analysis too and believe I am some sort of winter. </p>
