I'd love it if you did some typing of youtubers! There are so many "try on my entire wardrobe" especially and "try on haul" videos for you to see their whole body and kind of clothes they wear. Such a variety of real life body types and faces/personalities. I think it would be fun! I don't relate to celebrities much as they seem to only wear evening clothes.

It’s so frustrating to see that all dramatics are recommended to wear are formal looking clothes. Or at least that’s what’s implied from all the examples I’ve seen on the internet. Blazers blazers blazers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dear Merriam, could you please do a video about different posing and the effects of bodylanguage for the different bodytypes? You talked about it in previous videos and I find it very, very interesting, because I´ve never thought about it in depth before.

It would be so interesting to see you go over clothing during pregnancy, especially for the more angular body types because of the added roundness. I would find that fascinating.

Can you, please, do a video on how each type can achieve the looks of all the other types by wearing their own lines? :) I'm interested in how a soft natural (like me) can achieve a dramatic, classic or romantic look without looking too odd.

Keira Knightley one of most beautiful woman in this world, SO FAR! There absolutely nothing wrong in being sharp, or more structured. I am just amused by how analytic you are and can see these small differences.

Merriam, I have learnt so much from you, you explain Kibbe in such a unique and understandable way! I love these in depth comparisons and I think the examples you’ve chosen here are perfect, especially the one with Rachel McAdams, you illustrate your points so well. I also like how you’re pointing out that it’s all about intention and that all types can end up struggling when not wearing their own lines. Requests for future videos: 1) more comparisons and how you can play around with different elements and achieving different looks. 2) More Break Kibbe’s rules videos, the one you did on dramatics is one of my favourites. 3) In depth analysis on FN, like the video you did in SN - I think FN is one of the body types you’ve talked about the least on your channel. Keep up the good work, it’s greatly appreciated, and thank you for all the work you put in!

This is absolutely fantastic video..I d love this for all body types 😍

As always I end the video seeing so much more than I did before! This is so valuable to me when considering design and my own clothing choices. I would love something like this for Romantics looking frumpy, and Theatrical Romantics looking overtly sexy - I have a feeling you have some key insights there!

Great idea! It would be cool to see other types vs their personality stereotypes. I think people read gamines as kind of mischievous & adventurous, for instance. It can be hard to get beyond those boxes.

Your videos are always so perfectly illuminating. I'd never considered the effect of something fitted on a dramatic.

3:10 "It's simply looking the way that you intend to look, whatever that may be" 🔝🙏

Thank you for this. I'm a soft dramatic with narrow shoulders and wider hips, so if I wear a fitted shirt it will look not balanced. I learned this from these videos so I thank you for that. I look and feel more confident now. I can see how she looks beautiful no matter what , but because of her proportions she looks balanced. Sorry for the edit.. I misspelled something. Have a great day Merriam.

Super interesting! Awesome job as usual. Curious about the different effects I get as a FN. will re-watch the “breaking rules” vid!

Hi Merriam! 💞 Through the video you mentioned something about POSING for body type, could you tell us more about that?

0:50 yes she looks like she's wearing dramatic lines BUT her top is pretty soft, she's has very small earings and her makeup while being mat is quite diffused So if I learned my lesson well, she actually wearing a mixture of opposite and that makes her angularity showing more. Now I can play the video to see if I'm right😊 Edit: YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY I was right 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

THANX sooo... much ! I`m a Dramatic & now I better understand what Dramatic Lines really are :) !!!

This is super interesting! Your examples at 01:05 are excellent! Also the "mixed messages". Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I thought dramatic lines where meant to be fitted? Like Armani? Knowing what type I am puts reactions from the past in a different light. At school many felt intimidated just by my presence. ;-) At the same time there are outfits that make me receive tons of compliments. :-) And I love love love wearing a grey/blue Ralph Lauren rugby shirt. Now I know why.

Brilliant!

Omggg would a vid of formal wear for flamboiant naturals!

Could you make a similar video for naturals. I'm sure now, I'm natural but I often don't know what to wear.

Keira Knightly looks like a natural to me. Hence the reason she looks more intimidating with harsh make up on the eyes. She is only 1,68 cm tall, moderate height, she has wide shoulders, a protuding strong jaw, which is a very normal often seen characteristic seen on naturals, like Kristen Stewart, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Aniston. She just does not look like a dramatic to me, sharp, elongated, narrow. She is skinny, yes, but that does not make you into a dramatic. Naturals are also kind of straight-ish in frame, except for the wide shoulders, which I think also confuses people. She is a natural.

Can you please make a video on posing with body types? I always hear this, but I don't know what that means.

Would be so great if you could do a video comparing dramatic and dramatic classic - hard to tell the difference between these two, seems so subtle.

For some reason, I find Keira much better looking on the right pictures

7:00 10:35 ! Dranatic with FN makes it more delicate. Dramatic with short lines (gamine) is more bad ass

Oh, this is interesting. Because some other places online says Dramatic *can* be fitted, and don't have to look oversized. But maybe that rules out D again for me, because I just look fat in oversized without waist emphasis... Or maybe it's different for fat dramatics? Because I'd rather look thin and intimidating than fat and friendly :P

I think Keira looks very sexy in all the "wrong" styles. I could see how maybe that isn't what she wants to go for all the time, but she certainly don't look bad.

Interesting what you say about accidentally wearing gamine lines! Definitely something I do, whenever I try something on and it looks horrible, now that I'm a bit more aware, I've actually realised that it's often because the clothes are secretly gamine -.- Still don't know my type unfortunately- either soft classic or soft natural- I would loooove a video comparing them btw, I really cannot see the difference even though I've now got a pretty good eye for the other types..

I wonder if the reason why Keira looks more vulnerable on the picture with the suit is not the angle (I understand the jaw thing) because that angle gives the impression of a babyface, what do you think? her face proportions are really altered in this picture and she does look younger, but I don’t think it’s 100% because of the suit.

My test result is soft classic but rachel is not curvy than me , hos is it possible? İm confused 😔

I think I'm flamboyant natural leaning towards dramatic and I still don't know how to dress ughh 😢

Could you do a video comparing Flamboyant Naturals and Soft Dramatics? I tend to confuse the two. For example, most models are FN but Irina Shayk could go either way. She has exotic fuller features but seems to also have a FN body type. Emily Ratajkowski also has fuller features (probably surgery) and doesn’t seem to be as broad as most FNs.

She looks more approachable in her lines . Interesting ! In the Kibbe system Sarah Jessica Parker is a Flamboyant Natural unless that has changed. Yet she is only 5’2 or 5’3 . How does that work in being able to wear the natural lines? Thanks so much the videos you provide. 💜

How do weight gain on dramatic (usually mainly on lower body) affect kibbe lines? I figured I have a dramatic body type when I stay into normal weight range but don't know if still applies when more yin is added...

Hi, just consider that these are ads of celebrities created by stylists and makeup artists and photographers that make the choices for the celebrities. They are being told what" look" or intention the photographer, ad agent, or client wants to express. They are told what clothes to put on and what "look" to give the camera and what make up and clothes to wear. So, unless we see the celebrities in their own clothes (and even then, most of them have stylists that chose everything for them) I do not think there was any "intention" on their part when we look at professional ads. So Keira was not IMO trying to achieve any look. She was getting paid to pose for a publicity. I do find all of your analysis very interesting and have very much enjoyed your listening to your perspective. I find it fascinating. thank you.

Teal Swan on KZfaq is the best example of a dramatic that looks feminine and not intimidating.

Still waiting to see what is said about Flamboyant Gamine! I was originally typed as Soft Classic by you, but finally settled on FG because I am kind of made of spare parts, in an awesome kind of way, lol.

Hello Merriam, I still don't know what my body type is. My bone structure is more yang but my flesh is ying.. Did the test 5 times. Most answers were soft classic. But the soft classic clothes don't look good at me. I tend to more soft natural. Soft classic is too stiffed for me. Can anyone help me out. How can I find my body type? My face is also more yang than ying, but my cheekbones are super ying that's why I look more androgynous. I'm 1m64, quite normal when I wear tight clothes with Heels I look super soft dramatic and this makes me look and feel extremely beautiful and feminine. When I wear soft natural i also look beautiful and like the girl next door. Idk please help.

Hey, would a slight undercut under long hair look too severe/intimidating for a FN? As we tend to have a strong neck?

What kibbe type is Talulah Riley?

I think im a dramatic with some curves. Last year i tried romantic, pink colours& i didnt look good at all.

Everything I see about Kitty tells me I must be dramatic because I am 5'9. It's like there's no other option. I do appear tall overall but in general my features are soft and there's nothing really dramatic about me besides my height. Is there any possibility that I am another type besides dramatic if I am so tall? I can't seem to find this answer anywhere online so I'm hoping you can help! Thanks so much!

I actually love drappy dresses and flowing fabrics on Kira lol. The juxtapozition is lovely. I think the shot of her laying witht the strawberry was suppose to be sensual with some softness. I think they did it well.

Now that I follow Keira on IG I can see soooo many epic fails, lol. Poor woman, she is under a microscope. 🤣

Classics, men are also intimidated by these too.

To be honest , as a short Theatrical Romantic , I am jealous of dramatics because they are intimidating and can be taken seriously .... I like being a TR but it wouldn't hurt to look tall and badass ......

Nope the ad on the right is a coco Chanel ad, ie: independent at times intimidating dramatics are supposed to look unapproachable at times cuz we wanna spook all the other types lol jk about that second part but rlly Chanel isn’t target a womxn who wants to be a Rachel mcadams Agree about that crop tho

How can other body types look dramatic, expensive and elegant? (Not cheap or slutty)

I'm theatrical romantic and I want to look intimidating. Show me how to do that. lol

What if a dramatic wants to be intimidating? Like a strict boss or principle etc. :D

As a short Theatrical Romantic , I would rather be intimidating than not being taken seriously because of how cute I look ughhh ....

I'm a soft dramatic and people that don't know me thinks that i'm intimidating and snob 😂

what about lingerie? this means drsmatics cant or shouldnt look feminine in lingerie thats sad

I think Kiera looks great in the ethereal images at the beginning, but not in the lace/transparent frilly frocks

I don’t have a dramatic face but i’m a pure dramatic body wise. I really don’t like the ”intimidating” word to describe this body idk 😅

Can you have small hands and feet and round eyes and still be dramatic

It is interesting Kiera is a dramatic because she looks like she is like 5'6 and has more of a moderate vertical line .....
