Maybe a soft gamine? Because you look really yin and your face features are really soft and rounded. Also you look small. I thought theatrical romantic a little bit.<br />Have you seen the body types series of Aly Art on youtube? maybe that'll help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1991878 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 00:20:56 +0000 Pam V 1991878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenni, I have considered Romantic but I feel like my face is too narrow and my body in general is not rounded enough to fit the category. I don’t know for sure, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1989126 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 06:58:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 1989126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're really pretty too. Have you considered the Romantics especially Theatrical Romantic? And look at the website Style Syntax mainly, I read for hours on there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1989120 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 05:34:40 +0000 rosee 1989120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my own Kibbe questions so I can't really be much help, but Soft Gamine seems appropriate.<br />You are very pretty, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1989078 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 02:13:05 +0000 Pam V 1989078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cee Just trying to get answers haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1988311 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 18:59:25 +0000 Cee 1988311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful photos, Pam </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1988301 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 18:42:02 +0000 Pam V 1988301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys! After reading about soft gamines and the clothes that look best on them I’m pretty sure I am one. Fitted waist, high collars, fitted arms; these look best on me. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1986763 Sun, 30 Dec 2018 04:09:29 +0000 Gigi 1986763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full disclaimer: I haven't read the book and have just picked up stuff here and there.</p> <p>My thought is that since you are only 5'1", you are pretty much in the Gamine category. You would be Soft Gamine, which is fleshier than the Flamboyant Gamine. I am a Soft Gamine, and I don't have any boyish features either. From what I understand, Soft Gamine tends toward Romantic, so it is understandable that you have a Romantic side to your style. (I do too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1986744 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 22:57:06 +0000 Vildy 1986744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I'm no expert, even though I've had the book for decades. :D&nbsp; Kibbe himself had, I think, disavowed the test in the book as it was put in at the insistence of the publishers.&nbsp; Also, he has more recently scratched the Natural, Classic and Gamine categories, going for more of a lean in one direction or the other, toward yin or toward yang.&nbsp; To me, you look like a Romantic. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Aly Art and Merriam Style on youtube have a lot of Kibbe explanations <br /></div><div>and examples. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kibbe-body-types-help#post-1986722 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:11:01 +0000 Pam V 1986722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone! So I’ve been trying to figure out my Kibbe body type but I can’t answer the questions without bias. </p> <p>I think I’m either some sort of Gamine or Romantic. I actually feel that I might be theatrical romantic, but not the stereotypical “striking” kind. Maybe like Anna Kendrick (I admit she’s more slender and has sharper features so maybe not)? </p> <p>I’m an X hourglass with proportions 34.5-28-38. My hips are not wider than my shoulders, I just have extra padding down there (‘^_^). I’m not crazy voluptuous though and my face is long/narrow but rounded. I have a big forehead, average eyes and medium-full but small lips. An average and round nose. Tiny hands and feet (child size). Rounded arms and thighs.... but I’m 5’1. I gain weight evenly throughout my whole body, even my face. I don’t see the huge contrast in features that Gamines have. I’m mostly round, like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Nothing boyish or pixie-like. Hehe. </p> <p>Or maybe I’m some miniature type of natural? Not sure, to be honest. </p>
