This was so helpful - anything I've found re: flamboyant naturals usually shows an extremely sinewy Cameron Diaz as example, which is unhelpful for those, like me, who is not stick thin. The examples you chose really highlight the athletic frame and healthy, more heavy muscle that this type seems to typify. I was unsure if I was a soft natural before because I do have more thickness, but looking at this it is the athletic bluntness I'm seeing, not the slightly romantic softness of a soft natural.... thank you for being so thorough in your guides, you've done really great work!!
I loved the detail of this video. You make it so clear in your descriptions and comparisons what a Flamboyant Natural is. You've done your research and really did a great job! Thank you for creating this video!
Very good and thorough analysis. I sew and understanding my body type has helped me lot in selecting patterns and fabrics that suit me. It was always such a 'hit and miss' endeavor before. Wish, I had found such a long and well researched video right at the start of my journey!
@myAuthenticStyle-MAS It would be incredibly helpful if you showed photos of women who are naturally heavier, with larger bone structures, rather than these extremely small boned types. For example, to me Daniele Brooks feels like a flamboyant natural - she has a muscular body, she is just larger. And Jill Scot might be kibbe typed as a Romantic but her style essence is definitely flamboyant natural. . I am a 5/5" flamboyant natural who was a size 4/130 lb up until my mid-40s, now in my mid-50s I am more like a size 12/175 lbs. It is much harder for me to find clothing that feels like my style essence and guidance would be helpful. So again, if you can do a whole series on larger women - Daniele Brooks, Lizzo, Jill Scott, Gaborey Sidibe, Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, Kathy Bates, Nicola Coughlin. All of them have different body types that A LOT of women on this planet share. I am begging you - please include us in your excellent analysis!!!!
This was a great video. The patterns were very helpful because I love patterns but most of them don’t love me! At least it seems like most patterns are not for flamboyant naturals, unfortunately.
I am 5 3 but I do think I am FN, my body composition looks alike to these women, but who somehow lost half of lower leg 😂 Do you have any recomendation for really short FN? Because the vertical line is shortening after the knee I find it hard to balance the whole look
Interesting- do you not think you could perhaps be a Flamboyant Gamine? It will be a bit of a wait but why don't you wait to see my video on this type and then compare it to this one. You might just change your mind about your body type...?

Yes! 👏🏾

This is my body type. Spot on, 100%
Thank you
You understand it well
I'm so happy you feel that way- thanks for your comment!
Still not sure if I'm a FN or some type of D/DC, but honestly I could feel so glad if I'm a FN! They look good in almost everything 😩👌🏻✨
Fantastic video with lots of information. Extremely helpful, thank you for your effort!
Someone shoes create a SHOP for Flamboyant Naturals ?
This is so helpful.
Thank you for your efforts.
A thorough discussion.
I finally realise I am this type.
Thought I was a very very tall natural.
Yes more flamboyant natural videos please!
Excellent!!
I love this, very good examples too! I do wish that softer cooler summer colors could be shown for a FN, I'm struggling! lol
I've noticed that the clothing for this type often cuts the body into 1/2 instead of the common recommendations for fashion that is thirds.
Nice! Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing! ❤

Flamboyant gamine for sure!! Best of luck 🌻🌻
Please include in Gamine video situations like this mixture of opposites, FN upper body and G lower body 🙏🏻
@@MrMrKristijan all flamboyant gamines have the body type you are describing, they’re not opposites.
Edit: maybe I’m misunderstanding you :P
What about wearing a long relaxed trouser leg with high heels?
This is a natural balancing technique for shorter calve length.
Thank you !!! 💗💗💗
I downloaded the pdf and it’s all mixed up. It has parts of soft dramatic and then natural
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I've fixed it!
