I can relate to everything but I have big hands and I have always thought I have big bones

I actually think the first dress is dragging her down with the length

Oo this is fun😊

Ive been trying to figure out what kibbe type i am for a while now, and this video explained it so well. For sure im a TR. Woohoo! Thank you!

I've never felt so understood! Thank you for making this video!

I have ingenue essence. I’m 52 now and sometimes people still think I’m about 30

Very nice video. I'm a dramatic classic with classic essence :)

I just realised you had a cute dog on your lap! I thought it was a child at first hahahah!! So cute!!

Trying to determine if I’m TR or R and still can’t quite figure it out

Completely agree. If you don't understand your lines it doesn't matter what size you are you will still have an issue with clothing. Dressing well is not about your size. There are many women of varying sizes who dress well because they understand their lines and the opposite is true as well.

This is the essence I dressed for during my teens and twenties because I had, as you say, confused tailoring and moderate looks with structure and sharp edges. I ended up looking constrained. That the style advice from Nina Garcia and co. was making the rounds at the time probably didn't help. I still love certain elements--minimalist styling, a well cut trouser or suit jacket, a foundation of basics tweaked to the taste of the wearer, a curated palette that doesn't clamor for attention like a fussy toddler. Having said that, I lack sufficient levels of classic essence to justify dressing like Babe Paley or C.Z. Guest. Great video!

Romantic here. “Just put a belt” sounds like good advice, but I find it looks sloppy in practice. It needs to be tight under the bust. The hourglass structure needs to come from the garment itself. Pants as high as you can get them, preferably touching the bottom of your ribcage. Always tuck your shirt in.

This makes me think about when I use soft fabrics on my lower body: it creates weird folds around my high hip bone and looks off, while with stiff fabrics don't. I really want to understand Kibbe curve, because I do have conventional curves, but I've never felt at ease in very yin clothes

I think I have natural essence in my mix because comfortable clothes and natural fibres are so important to me in my clothing choices. As well as sportier pieces that allow me to get up and go outside at any time. But I have a petite and curvy frame, and like to look polished (and expensive 😝) at the same time, which can be contradictory. As a result I spend way too much time thinking and analyzing whether I look good in something. I just booked a consult with you and can’t wait.

Love your videos!! Please please pleeeease do some videos on body types with all the essences. For instance: flamboyant gamine with natural essence, romantic essence, ethereal essence, etc. And how to dress accordingly (maybe what to pay attention to, if it changes the recommendations from Kibbe, etc)

Im a theatralical romantic and look in classic clothes with print, a bit opulent and royal themes very beautiful. I have curvy blonde hair and the coat matches in color my summer type and physical form. Actually as non classic i look more dramatic and value looking instead of unattainable. I look like a woman earning money and knwoing how to dress well. I think too much classic clothes look steril and unlively. Classic people are lively too. What is elegance without sensing and feeling pleasure and good material feeling?

You seem to understand deeper these essences. Also like the way you speak: it's clear, not too rambly, very detailed... Great video!

I LOVE classic looks ❤

Thank you. You explain things so well and it really resonated with me. I definitely have a percentage of this essence and I need a bit of that structure/polish minimalism to make my outfits complete.

Love this - look forward to seeing you breakdown the pieces in the wardrobes of different styles!

❤'ed this!! Well done, thank you

So good! Thank you ♥️

It's hard finding waist emphasis. As a soft classic, I came across one and have been pondering. It's sleeveless, the bodice is satin, and fitted with a sweetheart neckline, the skirt is organza in a fit and flare silhouette and I'm wondering if the skirt is too full. It's almost 1950's looking. A dilemma???

I am a 5'11, FN with dominate Natural & Romantic essences, minor Dramatic essence. I think the recommendations for Soft Naturals in this video will work best for me. Thanks

Can you be a soft gamine with a pear shape? I have a bit of angularity in my top half but a very defined waist and wide hips. I do have soft arms.

Mylene thanks so much for your videos! You are probably my favorite content creator. I originally thought I was a soft classic but now I’m pretty sure I’m a dramatic classic. It pretty much fits me to a tee and feels like home. Your videos have been so helpful in making this so clear to me. Thanks again!

I'm seeing Soft Gamine and Flamboyant Gamine videos...but I'd like to see one just for Gamine. There are many of us with a gamine body but we don't fall under soft or flamboyant body types.

I believe this is my third essence. So while it plays a factor it is not dominant as if it were one of my top two. Definitely interested in a video on how to go about combining essences.

Great video on this essence. You really hit the nail on the head regarding the ease of the essence and not liking feeling constricted or taking a long time to get ready. Love natural fabrics as well. I can't do lightweight and I can't do very structured.

Kindred spirits, don’t know where my wardrobe would be with Thredup

Why is Madonna considered a romantic? Her shape seems to be an inverted triangle.

I’ve always admired this style. It’s so effortlessly chic.

Literally everyone types me as a soft gamine but I'm the opposite of dainty and delicate I'm super wide and big boned and the least dainty girl I've ever seen. What else could I be?

As a now plus sized soft gamine, I am on a constant quest not to look like a little tree stump 😣☹️

😊😊♡♡

I wish these shops would match a model's body type to the clothes, it would really reduce the confusion. For example 17:55 the lady on the left looks like she shopped from the children's section. If they had a soft gamine model wearing that dress it would look amazing and convince me (a soft dramatic) to buy it.

Music is a bit too loud in this one, I edited with my headphones, but did not want to re-edit and get this out for you all before the Black Friday deals - Enjoy ☺

Even though I'm 5'7, i fit the soft natural proportions more than FN. I like short skirts though, so I'll just have to look frumpy from time to time 😅 Thank you for including the men. I have guy friends who are interested in these things, but it's difficult to find the info.

Can you do a video showing the comparisons and differences between dramatic classic and flamboyant gamine? I'm having an identity crisis 😂

This was so helpful! thank you!

I'm a soft summer but somehow can pull of this burgundy. Great video ♡

When people say you give off Short person vibes. 😀

No one: The officer that straight up ignored me as I trespassed to go sleep on a school bench: ➖👄➖

This type is definitely my mom! She 5’4-5’5 and softness (?) YES! She is very soft. Her hourglass isn’t as extreme but she is curvy in the chest and hips. She doesn’t really like girly aesthetics and looks great in T-shirts and fitted pants. One of my favorite outfits for her is a loose drapey shirt she has and a nice pair of gray slacks. Unfortunately for us all she won’t usually wear loose clothes or unconstructed clothing, since she’s very sporty 😅

❤

Very helpful. I think I'm a dramatic classic type. Thanks for including men in your examples and for your clear explanation.

Still not describing me... BIG boobs.. softness everywhere..arms..legs.. stomach.. narrow hips...but still fleshy
