    As a Soft Dramatic, my face is noticeably more yang than yin. I once had a relationship with a man who wanted me to curl my hair and wow, it looked wrong and was very aging. Wavy hair is great on me, but taking it to curly was a big mistake. So was he. :D

      I'm sharpened moderate, and I can feel your pain on the curly hair! To be fair, it was curly hair styled as for a pure rounded type. My entire family agreed that I should NEVER curl my hair. I was like an awkward poodle. It was uncomfortable to look at.

      As an SD with naturally curly hair, I swear my natural hair ages me terribly. It really doesn't look good on me -- straightening it or having large waves in make me look my age.

      You gotta do BIG curls or have a BIG shape with the curls. Wavy looks great too

      Very interesting! I’m a soft dramatic and curls look really good on me. I always do voluminous bombshell curls.
      Most hairstyles look good on me except when I slick back my hair into a bun. I look like a potato 😂

    Thanks for this video. As a soft dramatic, I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that dressing like a flamboyant gamine or classic is not the best look for me.For example, I prefer simple, delicate, small vintage jewelry which likely gets lost on me or just makes me look bigger.

    • @raraavis7782
      @raraavis7782 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I feel the same. I don't know about vintage jewelry, but the type of delicate jewelry, that was very much in fashion these last couple years, doesn't suit me at all.
      What suits me are big, bold statement pieces. Lol.
      Not sure, if I'm into those, but the couple times I tried, they did look 'right' on me, somehow.

      Vintage, go for big classic floral dress. Dresses with big floral patterns look so perfect on us you wouldn’t believe! Chocker necklaces and band bracelets of charm bracelets look good as well.
      Big purses are good too, I brought this pillow purse from Marc Jacobs and with the big floral design I thought I was gonna look like a old lady. Turns out, it makes me look classy and kinda like a diva, which is fine by me, lol.

    I appreciate your observation about how certain lines emphasize sexiness on one body type but look sharp on others. For instance, garments that look appropriate for the office on me (flamboyant gamine) make my soft gamine daughter look like the dirty librarian.
    Conversely, appropriate garments for work on her leave me looking dowdy and unpolished.

      That is hilarious! I've experienced that myself. Casual tank tops and shorts that look wholesome and sporty on a Natural just look sexy on me as a Soft Dramatic. I really have to watch what I wear; I don't care to look like I'm interviewing for a job at a massage parlor (not the legitimate kind). :D

    It's hilarious abt the "sexy" looks, I can't wear a fitted white (womens) shirt, with a pencil skirt (of apropriate length) no matter what I look as if I'm dressed for the sexy secretary trope in a porno TT I've learned to always go for mens wear. It takes away the overly sexy and it also fit my proportions, since I'm rather tall. Trousers is hard though since I've got hips lol

Even a female coworker said “wow you’re really putting it all out there today!” When I was in a workout set ! Meanwhile the other girls can wear the same and not look like they are “showing off” their assets. I call it the curse of the soft dramatic lol !

    Very nice video! I'm a sharpened soft type and everything you said really makes sense to me. My face has slightly more sharp features,so a lot of blended makeup looks a bit off on me. Like, it ages me. I don't know why that is. Clean, bold eyeliner and moderate matte lip looks best. Cuffs and tapering on pants and shirts is okay as long as they hit below the wrist bone and ankle. If they stop just above either one it looks like I outgrew my clothes, even if I'm wearing the right size. I am still learning about the best ways to wear shirts. Usually when I tuck them in they can look like I'm cutting off my vertical line. I have some trial and error still to do in that area.

I now know what hip dips are and that's what made me feel bigger boned and the feeling of having big hips. I thought I had broad shoulders but I don't really. I'm quite confident I am theatrical romantic (in terms of other criteria) but I was just wondering about hip dips, which isn't so "delicate" in terms of bone structure.

    • @tessrobertson353

      I think the distinction would be between what *fits* the softness and what *brings out* the softness. If I understand right, the soft large shapes in the hair just look right in a sharpened soft type. Sharp shapes in the hair would bring out the softness more (maybe to interesting, sexy effect if it was intentional, but might look like there's some mismatch if not done intentionally). The sharp eye makeup brings out the softness and thus looks sexy, but the softened makeup just looks right.
