Help To find my Kibbe type( photos)

Emy38

Hello!
I create this new post following the previous one so that you help me, if you want it, to find my Kibbe type. I would be soft classic but maybe am I completely wrong...
I am very impatient to have your advice and opinion!
Thank you and see you soon!

I haven't reviewed Kibbe types for a while, but I am struck by your looks--I think you are a soft dramatic. (I think that's what it's called.} You could do classic if it feels like it's more right for you, but wow! the first and last photos say dramatic looks to me.

Also, your shoulders are wider than your hips, so I see inverted triangle instead of pear.

Now I need to go back and look at your earlier post.

Thank you very much for answering me so quickly! Very happy!
Dramatic classic, I have indeed thought
about it,I have very thinned lips, but here it is:
My measurements are: shoulders :37,5- waist: 29- hips: 38; my hipline remains round when i lose weight, and my thighs and my arms are always round. I tend to get belly and I have love handles.
I post another photo.
At Mc Jimsey test I get: ethereal classic. Can there be a connection between the two?

Reposting your results from your previous post:

Here are my results:

Vertical line: B or C; shoulders: C; length of arms: C; hands: A or C

Shape of body: C or D; bustline: C;waistline: E; hipline: C or D; arms flesh: D

Jawline:D; nose: C, D? E?;cheekbones: D

Eyes: C; lips: A;cheekbones flesh: D;hair: C or D

All I can say is that I see a lot of classic in your photos: very symmetrical facial features, nothing too rounded or sharp overall. (A classic beauty!) Here's a site I came across that seems helpful for digging further into the Kibbe questions.

You changed your pictures. I think the other ones provide a better picture.

ETA: oh you didn’t change your pictures! You just added some. Oops!
I see classic too—very symmetrical, some angularity to your face shape and nose but some softness in your eyes and eyebrows.
Your body type is also very classic.
I don’t see length and lithe muscles. I don’t see anything dramatic except your lips.
Possibly gamine because of a larger forehead (slightly) and slightly large eyes.
Unfortunately, the flamboyant categories I don’t understand. Same with theatrical romantic.

I am not great at this but I see an hourglass figure - and a Kibbe Classic, maybe Soft and maybe Dramatic?

When I did it was also seeing what I was not, in your case I don't think you are a natural or a gamine. Your shape is very proportional and even - you look balanced. I don't see your shape as yang... Your eyes are the most dominant feature on your face and your face has a softly oval shape.

I diagnosed myself as a Flamboyant Natural but while I am clear I am a Natural I am not 100% sure I am truly of the Flamboyant type. But it felt right so I am going with it. I did find it helpful for me to define my style.

Emy38, your shape and colouring is similar to mine. For comparison I am 5ft 7in and 138lbs. Bust is 36.5, waist 30, hips 38. My shoulders are broad (wide) but my bust is modest by comparison. Your hair appears auburn whereas mine WAS copper penny red, but is turning white (I am 57 years), and your eyes appear blue whereas mine are hazel.

I'm not a Kibbe pro, but I identified myself as a 'Classic Natural' and wonder if you might not be the same? (Of course I could be dead wrong!)

Thank you all for your answers.They are very useful and allow me to better define my kibbe type!

MsMaven: I learned about Soft Dramatic and it does not resonate at all in me. The clothes style does not fit me at all.

With all your answers and your links( thanks Firecracker) I'm sure to be a classic type. At first I found it very boring, I found my appearance very boring for years, but I am learning to appreciate it through the Kibbe system.
Smittie: it' s true, my forehead is slightly large and my jawline slighlty tapered, but the selfie makes my face too long.In reality, my face is slightly shorter and my cheekbones are slightly rounder.
I think the selfie enlarges my eyes.
After having thought about it, I do not think I am a dramatic classic because I only have one dramatic feature (Smittie I completely agree with you) and one natural feature. I am confused, because for you, some of my features are balanced and for me they were soft.
So: pure classic or soft classic? What do you think? I read somewhere that kibbe had removed the classic type and that it remained the two other.
Sal, I find it very complicated indeed to choose between two close types, we know that we are a classic or a flamboyant, but difficult to be 100% sure.
In any case thank you all for taking the time to answer me and sorry for my poor english.

Runcarla: you seem to be more muscular and slimmer than me! I do not practice sports! I have fat instead!And I' m not a real redhead! I am natural blonde.

Did you ever look at the truth is beauty site? I think its more comprehensive, as she even has combinations of 3 types! Warning: rabbit hole!
Im thinking Romantic + Classic + Dramatic possibly.

Emy38

Yes.I like this site.I have the style idendity calculator and I sometimes do the test;I get each time: ethereal classic; sometimes ethereal classic romantic /or ingenue. These results really made sense to me but now I must confess that I don' t know anymore!

Emy38

I love the style of clothing of the Kibbe soft classic. I find that the kibbe classic is a little too severe.

Penelope

Hi Emilie,
I wanted to add my opinion after spending some time reading Kibbe theories for a while now - you strike me as a pure Classic! You're very proportionate and I don't see any yang or yin sticking out in particular. I'm not sure whether you're fleshy, bossomy or buttomy enough for a Soft Classic, but if that's what you like I'm sure Soft Classic outfits will still look great on you as they are a close fit, and you are beautiful enough to pull of whatever you want anyway

Penelope

P.S.: I love truth is beauty, especially the part about seasonal colour analysis, but I found that the original 13 Kibbe body types give a better overview than the blends of essences Rachel is proposing.

I agree with Penelope, and my personal theory on Kibbe is to find your main type and then use the modifer to tailor it to what you like ... So if your main type is classic and your taste leads you to dramatic, then try classic dramatic ... Or whatever the case is. That's just my personal opinion though!

You look like a soft classic to me! Well balanced and harmonious lovely features.

I see dramatic elements because of how sharp your nose lips and face is when looking downwards. So eighter dramatic classic or soft dramatic in my opinion
