Hi Everyone! This was a highly requested video and I apologize for being behind on my videos (was not feeling well & was super busy last week) - but it's HERE!! Soft Gamines & what to wear if you have this body type. And a BIG THANK YOU to all my subscribers!! I hit 1k last week and I wanted to thank you all for being here ❤. I hope you enjoy the video 🥰!
I could be a soft gamine at 1.56m. Someone said I could be a flamboyant gamine like Penelope Cruz and Lady Gaga or even a soft natural. Someone said in a way some soft gamines are little softnaturals.
Thank you for your video. It was very informative. I am torn whether I am soft of flamboyant gamine. I know I have petite ( I have had to taken so many tops and dress because I was swimming in them even though they should fit everywhere else). I have angular shoulders that are slightly wider than my hips ( I think by 1-2") , but I am narrow and compact. I don't know if I can't see myself objectivity and that is the problem 😅. I have a rounder oval like face and pointy chin. My hips seems rounder than some flamboyants I have seen, but I have lost weight and am quite thin so am I really round. I am small busted, but there seems to be a roundness in my bones behind it and I have lost weight so I feel like I am less curvy there than some soft gamines (except for Olsen twins). My arms are slightly long, narrow hands that appear average or maybe long. I am 5'3 so size 7 1/2-8 shoe seems long to me for my frame, but I don't appear too long. I know from years trying gifted thrift store clothes that geometric shapes look really odd on me. I don't know if it's because of my face/essence, or what, but angular things like that are just wrong on me and look like I am wearing someone else's clothes. My fear is that I am might have my biases and maybe what looks odd to me is not. I am comforted that waist definition, fitted/ tailored items and coloring blocking work for both because I really don't know.
Thank you, & I have! I have a flamboyant gamine body type ☺️ th-cam.com/video/KqY8zeMsFoA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WlSsYX-8TWsJvINC I’ll be doing more videos on my style and why I dress the way I do ☺️. Thanks for watching!!
Can you do true summer color palette for soft gamine. I can’t find that kind of content anywhere. It’s hard because with gamines colorblocking looks so good on us however, true Summers it is recommended monochromatic. Having a hard time balancing that out. Also, can you recommend clothing websites for soft gamines and true summers, 🥴 love love love your content brilliant 🎉🤗
Hi! Thank you so much for watching!! Great questions, first answer is I do not believe there are any style rules or archetypes linked to colour seasons (I believe your body type & essences drives most of that). Rule of thumb is to first prioritize your body lines, second make sure they're in your colours and top it all off with styles/accessories that match your essence. I'll be doing a video on this soon! Second answer is YES!! I'm in the process of creating an account on 'Shop My' where I will have sections dedicated to body types, colour seasons and essences (so you can browse those and check out the types of websites I use for each).
Huh it is so hard to decide if I am FG or SG. I am inverted triangle shape, with a bit angular face... But I am fleshy. Dont know if I am very fleshy FG or very sharp, maybe drier SG (Dramatic and Natural essence)
It is a spectrum, so it is possible! My advice would be to film yourself wearing each of the lines, walk around, move and you'll be able to tell which feel and look more natural on you 😊
I've always dressed as a soft gamine (even before I knew what it was), but in my early thirties I started to get uterine fibroids, which has eradicated my waist definition and makes me look always pregnant. Now 10 years later, I recently had embolization, which means they will shrink a bit, but I don't think I'll ever get my waist definition back. Now I don't know what to wear and always feel frumpy. I'm so short and soft (though not overweight). I wish I knew what I could wear to make me feel comfortable and flattered again! I spend my life hiding in oversized jackets that make me look wider, shorter and also just really inelegant. Like a rotund little child. Anyone have suggestions for a flattering silhouette for a pregnant-looking soft-gamine?
First of all I want to start off by saying your body (no matter what condition it is in) is beautiful & perfect the way it is 😊. I unfortunately cannot do much analysis without seeing pictures of you, but my suggestions based on your description would be to focus more on narrow and tailored clothing (not oversized) that'll help to keep you from looking shorter and wider. So a mix of soft gamine & soft classic will be helpful I think. You could experiment with empire waist too, but keep everything tailored and not oversized if you do this - again this is based on your description, so please take this advice lightly or you can always contact me if you'd like a professional advice on dressing your specific structure. Hope that helps a bit!
@@myleneamelie Thank you, it does! My wedding dress was actually empire line - way before I had fibroids, I just loved the Jane Austen aesthetic lol. I will give that a try!
This was helpful, because I have had trouble figuring out my body type. I think I am a soft gamine. I am 5'2", with narrow shoulders and wide hips. My flesh is soft. I look good in most of the styles you talk about. I am not lush enough to be a romantic, but I have wondered if I might be an ingenue (at the age of 75). I do have delicate bone structure, short arms and legs. I do not have the rounded face or large eyes that I see in lots of pictures of gamines. My face looks a little more classic. I also wonder if my hips are too large to qualify me as a gamine. It's like I have a gamine top and a romantic bottom, with soft flesh on my arms, thighs, stomach, and hips.
Sounds like you could maybe even be a theatrical romantic! I’d have to see photos of you to do a proper analysis, but I’m doing a video on TRs this week, so check it out 😉. Also our faces don’t always match our body structure, so that’s normal!
It looks a bit separate from you the soft gamine clothing you have.Short , breaking lines. But you are a flamboyant gamine yourself.May be if we see the whole body it will not look separated from you.
@@YumeraChauque I have some dramatic elements to my body type yes, but I do not have any dramatic essence ☺️. My essences are natural, classic and a bit of ingenue Essences don’t have to have anything to do with your facial features, that’s not the way I teach it - you can check out my playlist on it 😉

This was so helpful! thank you!
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
This was very insightful thank you for the video! I love how you talked and used your hands of how the shape of the pants or tops should be.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Love this video! I wish more knitters would categorize the patterns by Kibbe type!
I do too! I'm on a mission to help out knitters/crocheters with finding the correct patterns!

It would be cool to see you do a video on your body type as well because I love your style ! :)

@@wildthornrose you need to show pictures of yourself so that we can advise you. You need to learn how to suggest a waist without hiding your figure.

Haha I’m not a SG at all! Just wore it for the video to show a little example of one of the soft gamine lines 😉
@@myleneamelie yes I know what you mean :)
You might even have angelic essence with natural essence.
I do not have angelic essence, but thank you! I wish I did 😉. I do have natural essence yes 👍🏻
@@myleneamelie I see you as an angel love
@@Taichientaoyin well thank you 😊 🙏🏻
I see dramatic.
@@YumeraChauque I have some dramatic elements to my body type yes, but I do not have any dramatic essence ☺️.
My essences are natural, classic and a bit of ingenue
