I think it’s easier to read the descriptions of the clothing construction for the different types and work backwards to the label... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141246 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 21:03:01 +0000 Hermione Stormborn 2141246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s really cool!<br /> I have always tried to understand my body and appearance because I have changed styles so many times and I feel like different people perceive me in such different ways. I have been told I am boyish, curvy, stick thin, tiny from people all over my life. I am trying to understand my essence starting from my body. I think Kibbe could be helpful for me, but even in this field people have told me I am gamine, FG, Classic, dc.. I am just so confused </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141191 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:45:30 +0000 rachylou 2141191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had a classical education (heavy on the Ancient Greeks and Aesthetics) reinforced by a family full of architects, lol. I can get into it, lol :)</p> <p>I’m also average height and people call me tiny, but I believe they’re responding to my weight and perhaps comparing to their sense of their own height. But if you really look, I’ve got a medium bone density, so not tiny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141184 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:34:00 +0000 Hermione Stormborn 2141184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is a very detailed explanation,<br /> Thanks i think what has always prevented me from making up my mind is that my body seems to fit in with different types of styles (except for the pear body clothes). It’s funny that you talked about elongation, since I am 165 cm (normal height) but people often claim I look so tiny. Maybe I should have a look at this famous kibbe classification to understand my body btw, You seem very knowledgeable, I am impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141179 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:23:12 +0000 rachylou 2141179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it’s true that I think you are like me in that there’s not the biggest difference between shoulder, hip and waist width... but I feel you are also like me in that it still shows. It comes down to body mass v height... a narrower, more elongated figure would be needed to be a rectangle IMO. Or possibly no waist... but it’s interesting, if you had no waist, I suspect visually you’d become a definite triangle or possibly an apple.</p> <p>I don’t think body type is something you can determine solely by measures (well, not without a lot more math). There are distortions of vision to account for. Like with architectural columns... the Ancient Greeks’ columns that look so straight, they are so much more elegant compared to modern columns because they’re NOT actually straight: they bulge outward ever so slightly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141092 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 09:06:01 +0000 Hermione Stormborn 2141092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks Rachylou, how did you decide between hourglass and rectangle? Because i keep getting mixed opinions even online ahaha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2141087 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 08:09:05 +0000 rachylou 2141087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’re visually a slim hourglass, but technically you may be a triangle. Also: I believe side-to-side measures, not circumferential measures, are most relevant for body type... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2140932 Thu, 27 Aug 2020 13:53:52 +0000 Hermione Stormborn 2140932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, thanks! I am trying to understand it because I’d like to know my Kibbe type but it was already hard before (since body types are already confusing) but right now I have just been explained that Kibbe curvy is different from what we mean with curvy. That’s so confusing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2140925 Thu, 27 Aug 2020 13:08:25 +0000 anne 2140925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right about a classical system of body types being too rigid. Many people are a combination. I think you are a rectangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-26#post-2140907 Thu, 27 Aug 2020 09:58:44 +0000 Hermione Stormborn 2140907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of my friends claim V shape, others hourglass but several stylists (I have done some shootings) claimed I am a rectangular.. I feel like the classical body types are a bit too strict for some women..<br /> my measurements are 84-63-83</p> <p>little add: My shoulders are quite wide compared to my body&nbsp;<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/35/npvf.jpeg">https://zupimages.net/viewer.p...../npvf.jpeg</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
