- Greetings to you all! Today I am collaborating with the very gorgeous Frani Matthews to explore how we can adapt personal style inspiration from other body types. Such a fun topic! I am doing ‘Soft Dramatic does Gamine’, and Frani will be doing ‘Gamine does Soft Dramatic’ on her channel. We hope you enjoy!

This also helps to understand why certain aesthetics did not work for me. I love that French girl effortless vibe look, but a lot of those lines cut my body in half. I did not realize that this was the cause of my frustration. I used to think that it was my body and not the lines. Please make more videos like this. So great!
I had the exact same realisation about that trend some time ago 😂 With all those broken lines, it just never felt right on my body. But I think it is possible to adapt the lines and recommendations to suit the expression of any style. That way we are not boxed into any particular archetype, and are free to explore any kind of personal style we want to. Thank you so much for watching Sheila. Wishing you a wonderful day Xx
Even your home is in harmony with your coloring!! I’d love to see a video someday on how you craft your own jewelry 😊 Thanks for another great video!
Thank you so much lovely! 🌸💕 It’s amazing how much of that was actually just purely intuitive. But now that I am better versed with my colour theory I have really been paying attention to anything I purchase for our home. Very fun! I’d love to do some jewellery making videos in the future. Thank you so much for watching! Xx
Before I became interested in body geometry, I was drawn to the dramatic classic lines. But I noticed that a lot of the cuts looked boxy on me and color blocking really makes me look shorter than I am. Once I realized that monochromatic looks in soft dramatic lines make me actually look my height and also makes me look thinner, I realized that I truly am a soft dramatic. You pulled off the soft gamine look well. I’ve always thought your Hermés Scarves were an ode to the gamine look.
That’s so wonderful, Lauren. It really sounds like you have a great intuitive connection to your lines, which is the ultimate situation. I’m so glad you enjoyed the gamine look! 🌸💕 Xx
I loved the outfit!!! I also loved your list of ways to keep the soft dramatic lines while having fun with gamine lines. It was very thoughtful and very logical. Gosh, you are so good with this!!! I am not even the same body arhetype but I appreciate how artistic and helpful these videos are!!!! You guide us to think about lines in the very creative ways. I truly think you are very talented!!!! Thank you!!!♥️💃♥️
I loved the advice from this video and the pairing of the top/skirt with the Hermes scarf was divine. I hope you can find that dress soon!
Thank you Victoria, I’m glad you enjoyed the look! 🤗🌸 I adore that scarf so much. And I will definitely keep hunting for some polka dots Xx
Alesa!! Your gamine inspired look was incredible! Such a thorough and helpful video to anyone looking to add some quirkiness to their style. So grateful to get to create with you, my friend.
Aww 💕🌸 I really cherish your opinion, beautiful lady, so I am very happy it came across that way. I just adored doing this art project with you! Hope you had a lovely weekend Xxx
I think I'm a Theatrical Romantic in the Kibbe system, and I love Katherine Hepburn's style, especially anytime she wore menswear-inspired looks. She created such a dashing, timeless, elegant, yet practical and wearable look in her suits and classic sportswear ensembles. It's always fun to take inspiration from her and apply it to my very different body type. Hats off to Katherine Hepburn. Thank you for this great video!
Oh gosh I adore Katherine Hepburn. She was such an amazing person, and so striking in her personal style. What a wonderful icon you have gravitated towards 🌸💕 Xx
What a fun video with lots of great tips! I love that they could be applied to any archetype's "look" we're trying to play with. Beautiful final outfit, and I think the polka dot dress will look fabulous whenever it finds you! Classic and Dramatic outfits I often fall in love with, and then of course I have FNvy because it just looks so effortless and comfortable!
I appreciate that you called attention to how outfits can look too "busy" for Soft Dramatic. We can handle "extra", but too many elements and it starts pulling the eye in all directions rather than keeping it on our curving vertical. I think that has been the lesson that took me longest to learn and I still have to look in the mirror to make sure I have the proper balance of *enough* elements to look polished, but not cluttered. You do a really lovely job of demonstrating the proper balance, it's so helpful.
That is such a sweet compliment, thank you. 🤗🌸 I’m glad it came across that way. You’ve so beautifully articulated the nuances of the SD balancing act 😂 Polished, but not cluttered is a great way to think of it. Xx
@@truegritcouture well thank you! It's finally starting to stick 🤣 Balance is usually what we think of with Classics, but I noticed recently we actually have a lot in common with SC, just "scaled up" and elongated - there is still balance but expressed a little differently. It's exciting when we find common ground with other types! I think it really can fine tune our individual style, as you demonstrated.
I am soooooo mad with myself!!! I should have thought of Frani!!!!! OMG ;)))))) ok, let's watch the video now ;))))))🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You were so close!! 😂💕 Hope you enjoy! Xx
Two delightful people working together, yay!
I'm more and more convinced I'm a gamine. I do love the long flowy floral dresses and layers that naturals make look so effortlessly pretty!
I adore that pinky copper top; what a lovely color!
Frani and I are both very lucky to have your beautiful self in our audience. Thank you for all your lovely support. And how exciting that you have narrowed your body type down! It’s a very special moment Xx
@@truegritcouture aw you made my day 😊💛🌞
I feel like we can spend some time looking for and or making that elusive dress! And I reckon you rock that gamine look. Elegant and understated, always with an edge of glamour, my dear friend!
Awww I would LOVE that!! As long as I can ply you with champagne 🥂😂 So happy you like the look darling! See you soon Xxx
I like listening your voice. Your voice is so soothing.😊
Dear Ben! Thank you so much. I am really happy you enjoyed 🌸🤗 Xx
That silk top is so beautiful on you!!! Definitely crush on the soft dramatic!! I always think “lush” when I picture a soft dramatic. And it’s something I wish I had more of as a flamboyant gamine.... oh well 🤗
Thank you so much Lahna, that is very sweet of you to say! 🌸🤗 I absolutely adore FG lines Xx
Hai boleh kita berteman,saya orang Indonesia, 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Chic so beautiful as always. Thank You for keeping us stylish and classic. Hermès!!!!🙌🏻🧡🍑Lisa
You’re such a darling, Lisa! 💕 Thank you for all your generous words of support. So lucky to have you in my beauty community family Xx
Just loved this so much, as always. I love how the belt and the top blend together with the little shimmery pop with the belt buckle. Normally, I'd never ever wear a belt but you gave me an idea there (b/c there are some lovely belts). I do have a body type crush--you! I find that I can take a lot of what you say and apply it to myself although we have different body types & heights. I am still waiting to find my perfect Hermes 70x70 scarf! The way you wear yours is so you. I don't think anyone else could get away with it though I do enjoy wearing fancy silk scarves tied around my head and knotted in the back. Kinda '70s vibe. Anyway.... Thank you for another wonderful vid!
Aww shucks Roxane! It’s an honour to be your inspiration in some small way 😭💕 You’re such a sweet soul. And I am SO excited that you are looking for a H scarf! Mine are mostly the 90x90’s, but the 70’s are really great too. Do you have a particular design/artist in mind? Xx
@@truegritcouture Thanks for your response and question! I'd love a scarf that's more floral than geometrics (geometric prints I do not love). There was a red floral Valentine's Day one a few years back that I missed nabbing. I have loads of scarves & they're always a good investment for me. Any suggestions?
This was a great idea for a video, and it was really interesting. The colour of that top is absolutely stunning! I think I’ve had a crush on every type at some stage, they all have such interesting elements.
Thank you lovely! 💕 It was mostly Frani’s genius idea. I’m so glad you like the top - one of my personal favourites. And I feel exactly the same way - all the body types are incredibly beautiful, and so fun to draw inspiration from Xx
Very late to the party here, but I'm reminded of when I first fell down the Kibbe rabbit hole in my late twenties. I wanted so badly to be a Flamboyant Gamine, although my actual personal style oscillated between FG and DC. The effect was stifling as well as choppy, if that makes any sense. The compliments I got when I dressed for vertical and curve should have been a tipoff that I was barking up the wrong tree. Last year I finally figured out that my lines fell somewhere in the Dramatic family--which is the sort of thing I naturally gravitated toward anyway! And then it transpired that I'm a Soft Dramatic, which forced me to step back and look at the lines that best suited me. I say all of this to say, great video. And thank you!
Aww I’m so happy you enjoyed 💕 Definitely makes a big difference to understand our own lines Xx
@@truegritcouture A major difference, to be sure--once I stopped trying to squish myself into a gamine mold I found I could let 'er rip as far as style went. (Also it's a lot easier for me to shop for a Dark Autumn palette plus SD lines; FG looks and autumnal hues are a tricky combination at the best of times.)
Wonderful idea. Thank you so much sharing. I loved your final look. I would have never thought to add the silver to the rose gold but it truly worked and definitely gave it a pop. Thank you! 🙏♥️
So happy you enjoyed the look, Jodylynn! 🌸💕 I really love playing around with the effect different metals create. Thank you for watching. Xx
I love how calm you are in your videos, it’s honestly so therapeutic. I love all these inspirations❤️ love the idea of color blocking! So unique and def love textures with my clothing! Your professionalism is much needed in the fashion world! So much expertise and details in your videos! I’d love to see some summer inspo that you’d wear on the daily ❤️ xx
Awww you really are the sweetest darling 💕 Thank you for your lovely words. Love how aware you are of the things that make you feel amazing. You’re such a beauty! It’s starting to get colder here under the equator, so will have to see about summer outfits.. I’m sure I can rustle up something though. Big smiles to you Xxx
Enjoyed your video. Well done. Great channel. Wishing you great success. Thank you. New friend here.
Aw thank you for your kind words 🌸🌷💐 So very lovely to have you here Xx
That’s amazing! I will definitely explore the topic. Please do more videos!!
Thanks so much, Marta 🤗💐 Will do Xx
Great video! I think you nailed the gamine look in a SD way👍🏼 well done
Aww thank you! It’s kind of tricky to make it feel good. Thank you for watching! Xx 💋💕🥰
If you added a pop of colour with your mustard coloured purse, it would add another flamboyant gamine element. Just a suggestion....
Ooh that’s a wonderful idea Dawn! 🌸 I’ll have a play around with that for next time. Thank you for watching Xx
I love how you're branching into these creative videos, they're really clever. Also, well done you found gorgeous silver hoops! They look so wonderful WHERE did you get them?
Aww I’m so glad Jessica! Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes the hoops! They are wonderful. The jewellery store is called By Baby - they have a website 💕 Xx
Just recently found your channel and hope that you will be back with more style inspiration for Soft Dramatics!
That is so sweet, Jennie 🌸 Thank you for the lovely comment and for checking in. Yes I’ll hopefully be back at it soon 🤗 Xx
@@truegritcouture So glad to know this! I’m new to the Kibbe system and have only recently determined that I’m a SD. Your sense of style really inspires me.
I love this idea!!!
So happy you enjoyed, beautiful lady! 🌸🤗 Thank you for watching Xx
always very detailled,outstanding uploaded; good video
Thank you so much lovely! 🤗🌸 Xx
Great advice! Greetings from NYC :)
Oh wow, I have never been to NYC. I hope to visit one day! Thank you for watching 🌸🤗 Xx
Hey! Thank you for another wonderful video! I am a self-diagnosed soft classic with a hint of gamine, which is fun. I often find I can get the under outfit right but not the coat/cardie because I'm also petite so generally need them cropped or knee length, whereas they usually just hit my thigh! I also love silk scarves esp when you get the right colours, so vital by your face! I have quite a collection of vintage Liberty but am saving up for my first Sabina Savage, if I can just decide which one... Anyway, take care and please keep them coming :-) p.s. who are your fave Aussie style icons?
Hi Ana, you are so very welcome 🌸🤗 Thank you for making the time to watch. Indeed it can be a little tricky to find pieces in the ‘ready to wear’ retail world that truly compliment our unique bodies. But the treasure hunt can be very fun! I’m sure you will adore your Sabina Savage scarf - she is such a talented artist. As for Australian Style Icons, gosh that is a big question! I’ll have a think and get back to you 💕 Xx
love this! thank you for the inspiration
You are so welcome Janet. I’m glad to know it was of help. Thank you so much for watching 🌸🤗 Xx
P.S. Love the new intro and outro!!
Yay! Xxx 💕
Im SD I absolutely love Florence (and the Machines) her look is sooooooooo something I would love to pull off.
Hello and thank you for watching 🤗🌸 That sounds like a very fun look to draw inspiration from! Xx
Looking beautiful as ever 😻
Thank you so much Karen! 🌸💕 You’re such a sweetie Xx
Such a great idea and lovely outfit. Would you consider doing the same for different body types? x
So happy you enjoyed this fun experiment, lovely 🤗🌸 Thank you for watching. Were you thinking of a SD does other body types series? Xx
@@truegritcouture yeah exactly that - would be fun to watch :) x
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 🌸💕🤗 Xx
Hello. How are you? I hope you are alright. I miss you and your videos. Will you start recording again? I really want to hear a positive response.😊
Aww thanks for thinking of me, Ben. That’s lovely of you. Yes I am all good. I’ll hopefully be back to making videos soon. Hope you are well Xx 🌸
