SD really works to your advantage. Your hair is really pretty in this video, lenght and shine is great. More volume would be wow! I want to see your journey. Team without tiny belt! This skirt has enough waist definition on its own. Your waist is defined, not short, no tummy issues, so good fitting cloths do emphasize your waist already and enough to let the eyes wander smoothly. I especially like the tonal ensembles with darker trousers. Refined, confident and kind of well grounded strength.

THE CREW NECKLINE GETS ME every time !!! I love love love a nice fitted crew, but they don’t love me 😩😩

The outfits looked great on you! I'm pretty sure you are a Soft Dramatic just from seeing how well the outfits worked for your figure. I'm also a Soft Dramatic and I feel the struggle of dressing an angular, tall, yet curvy body type. Watching videos like these help me appreciate the unique beauty of the Soft Dramatic and makes me feel more confident. Thank you for the video! ❤❤

You are definitely a soft dramatic, as I am. We have similar bodies, except my hips are wider. But also, these style of outfits fit us similarly... and also you exude the SD essence in all of them. The first outfit was enough for me to to agree to SD for you. There is a particular way in which skirts fit us....and a length that looks majestic on us, but dowdy on others. Skirts are often a telltale indicator for SDs, imo.

I have a very similar story with my kibbe journey. Thought I was a FN because of my shoulders and because I really didn't feel like my shape was very "dramatic" (I'm a very laid back, casual person). However, something didn't feel quite right. When discussing with some friends, they pointed out my curves and that my height (5' 10") is quite dramatic! Reviewing SD types, my body shape definitely lines up; however, as such a causal person I do not relate to many of the style recommendations. Just now embarking on my journey to try to piece together outfits that suite my taste while also respecting my lines, which is how I found your video. I'm looking forward to diving further into your videos-- thanks!

Definitely you are a SD. I’ve been struggling for the same reason!! Your video helped me a lot. It’s really hard to see ourselves, seeing you has just what I needed. Thank you ❤

Love this video!!! And I think this style suits you! You look lovely. Thank you for your content. I really like it

I loved this video !! love that you are a SD, I totally agree with you on being a SD as I am also a Soft dramatic and relate to your body shape and how clothes fit to a T ! loved all the info you put out here too, i struggled between SD and FN and SD just felt me 100x more! I lovee your SD fits so much and can't wait to see more of them as i am a Soft Autumn as well so seeing your autumn fits plus SD lines is perfect inspo!! You actually remind me alot of Adele who is now a verified SD and soft autumn!! which is incredible haha, i cant remember if you were a true or soft autumn but loved this so much cant wait for more 😍🤩🥰 love from Australia!

I would vote you are flamboyant natural! You have that broad beautiful natural smile and the natural jawline as well along with the open face and vibe of the naturals. Another reason I feel you are natural is I bet your hair looks amazing with some air and movement in it. There are curvy flamboyant naturals which is really confusing when curves are the first thing you think of with soft dramatics. Just a thought for you if the soft dramatic clothing, hair, and make up feel off after some experimenting! I believe Ally Art has a video on curvy flamboyant natural. Enjoy your journey!

I haven't had a chance to watch one of your videos for a while. I put this on on today and my very first thought was, wow, her make-up looks great. I don't know what you changed, but it really suits you. If this is soft-Dramatic, I think you must be one. Your hair, make-up and shirt are spot on.

Wow, you really did an amazing job with that visual info graphic hourglass references. It's such a simple example but one that REALLY works imho. I recently found a video of a stylist measuring around the shoulders, the bust, the waist and the low hips, I've never seen anyone incorporating the shoulders into the measurements. With the simple "bust - waist - hips" measurements taken, I always got told I was a lower heavy hourglass (for pear my upper back flares out too much, for an actual hourglass my bust lacks volume). Adding in the shoulder measurement changed a lot for me, because my shoulders actually are my very widest body part (and I do not work out at the moment, so no muscle has been built on my delts to widen that area). That completely changes the way the proportions are viewed. And that actually matches up way better with me being FN. I am very sure that I am one because these clothing lines are the ones that look best on me. When I thought I might be SN, I constantly felt weird in the recommended lines. And I had to wear padded bras to be able to fill in the blouses and dresses I found in the SN lines. For FN I can just throw something on and it will automatically fit and look good. So I would say, if one feels like they have to make a lot of alterations to kinda fit the clothes in the lines they think match their Kibbe ID, it might not be the right Kibbe ID. Give me a simple oversized shirt with a boat neck and a pair of flared jeans and I will look put together. Or the current trending oversized and super long trench coat shape with the dropped shoulder: Amazing for me. That's one trend I do appreciate because I finally found a trench coat I really love wearing. And I do think you are right. You look better in more fitted clothes to an extent that would probably not work that well for a FN. I am looking forward to your video on style roots, especially since it took me so long to actually figure mine out. (Just because I was in a transitional phase and kinda wasn't too sure what I really liked on myself.) Once I did figure it out, I felt it was easy to find a way to put all the elements together. The style roots really were like a missing link for me.

I see more of a blunt and wide bone structure on you than narrow and sharp. But you definitely have the long verticle line to accommodate. Try flamboyant natural?

I'm a Soft Natural (5'3" with broad shoulders and upper back and a defined waist). Seeing you in the SD outfits and makeup, I thought you were really brought to life. I have always thought your jewellery looked small on you but I thought it was your choice to wear authentic gold and gemstone jewellery. Nevertheless I look forward to seeing you wearing some more dramatic earrings and necklaces. Maybe a larger long amber or tiger's eye pendant? Some larger hoops? Even a long scarf? You might only need a few pieces, as you so consistently wear your Autumn Leaf colours.🍁

I’m 1m75, hourglass and textbook soft dramatic, and we do look a lot like each other in term of body shape! Also the jewelry and makeup really suit you and nothing seems too much. I definitely think you are a soft dramatic, too! I think SD’s can definitely rock a top+trousers outfit, Sofia Vergara is a great example of how to do soft dramatic in a more casual way, or with trousers, and she demonstrates accessories really help. I would look into statement belts for your trousers, and also into the right type of bags to compliment your outfits.

I think these soft dramatic lines are beautiful for you! I’ve considered SD myself. I fit most of the romantic traits except I’m 5’6 (168) so just a tick above the height limit 😂 but I don’t have width and don’t shine in classic styles 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ll be interested to see how you incorporate your natural classic clothing personality with SD!

I like the SD idea on you and understand why the FN could feel off. I have the same battle as you and also think I’m best in SD. One thing I’ve found that works for me do I don’t feel like I’m trying to go to prom ever day I’d to wear a lot of one color outfits with a crisp tailored shirt over. This helps me feel pulled together, strong and also professional for work.

Your SD determination process sounds pretty identical to mine! That comment about people always telling you that you look tall is great evidence towards the dramatic family (and something I've experienced so many times as well haha). I'm a big fan of Ellie Jean too, I think she's absolutely fantastic! I'm gonna dig into your other style videos- I'm super interested to see what you've been able to determine for your style roots.

The dark brown dress is divine!

For me your face and your vibe rather an FN. You started to being more relaxed in the long FN cardigan and the looser pants.

10:14 Speaking of hairstyles, I remember watching one of your videos, and you had this sleek low bun there This hairstyle looked STUNNING on you😍

Your beauty shines through everything obv, but the drama doesn't appear sincere or organic on you but rather put on and exaggerated. FN all the way. The face, the talk, the movements, the vibe...also many FNs do have curves, but they are still frame dominated and will look best in relaxed and structured materials and lines. Even without the knowledge of the kibbe system, I would describe my first impression of you "natural", "joyful" and "open"; quite a textbook fn imo. 🍂

I also think that you are SD. It took me 5 years to figure that out. In the end, I had Merriam Style type me because I wanted to know for sure and I think she has the best eye for it. When I saw that I was SD, I was shocked because I wouldn't have guessed it in my life. I always thought of DC or D. However, it never felt right for me to dress in that style either. I also have to say that I am 1.69 m tall and have an A cup size - the main reason why I would never have thought of SD. Now I feel totally at home with statement jewelry and all the other recommendations. Retrospectively, I've always been attracted to these things too. Anyway - welcome to the SD family and best regards from Germany.

Fallen down the Kibbe rabbit hole this past month. I’m stuck between dramatic class and soft dramatic. I’m also 5’7” but I don’t appear tall! Apparently when I lose weight (currently UK 14) I appear taller and more willowy 🤷‍♀️ I love the outfit selections and explanations. I agree with some others to try a cowl necklines for the more drapey look to see how it feels. The bit that put me off SD was the romantic twist, I don’t see curve on myself or a sensual appearance - but I think that’s the essence part confusing things (I think I lean more classic in my essence?). I can see why there is confusion with the FN for you with your shoulders being ever so slightly wider than hips?? but I would say embrace the SD and own it as it’s really suits you!

Just clicked the thumbs down arrow by accident!! Please disregard, in fact I LOVED this video & I can say I had the EXACT same progression you described from FN to realizing I was SD! You really inspired me about what to do next! Makeup looks gorgeous :)

Outfit number 3 is gorgeous on you! I have been on a style journey this last year and am starting to think l am a short SD. I am 5 ft 2 but Kibbe verified SD Mae West was only 5 ft!!!

You have exactly the same body shape as me! I'm 5ft 8 and was thinking that I was a Soft Dramatic but you've confirmed it for me. Are those Zara trousers still available in outfit 3? They're lovely!

I thought I was FN for a while until I tried on dresses that were loose around my waist and they did nothing for me. I look amazing with Monica Bellucci style dresses/D&G style etc. It’s definitely tricky when you are tall and have broad shoulders. I think the key difference is needing to cinch the waistline for the SD and accentuate the curves. Also SDs have a horrible time finding comfy casual outfits.

You look amazing in soft dramatic outfits! I have been so lost with kibbe because I feel it's bit limitng for taller people. I'm 170 cm so technically I can only fall under one of those few body types. I don't have any curves so can't be SD and I'm not narrow and sharp like dramatics. But even though I have wider bone structure, flamboyant natural outfits look so sloppy on me. If I wear something oversized, chunky and layers, I get lost in the outfit and look . I actually think I look my absolute best in Dramatic Classic, but I don't know if a professional would put me under that body type.

It does make sense though Kibbe changed on height and Diana Rigg 5'9 was typed a Dramatic Classic and Heidi Klum 5'91/2 a Natural . I see what you mean but don't totally see you at ease with it unlike when you are closer to classic , but then again I never saw too much of the natural element for you so it's confusing .But maybe of course your style will evolve towards the hyper feminine and voluptuous once you embrace it .... Exciting to follow what you decide next ! I'm still confused about myself , I'm 5'9 , inverted triangle , but still questioning FN or DC , I think FN with some classic essence 🙂 Eva

I’m not totally sold on SD because even though you have curve you have width in your shoulders. And width overrides curves. Your shoulder seams seem to go beyond your hips. I agree with the FN comments. I also was confused between the two for myself so I understand why you’re asking. I also see the FN structure in your facial features.

You look great in that long ivory cardigan! I did a fairly deep dive into Kibbe, and couldn't decide between Gamine and Dramatic Classic, which are supposedly near opposites, yet some debate which one Audrey Hepburn should be (I think she was typed Gamine, but I've read she was 5'7"). Anyway, as with most systems, not everyone fits in the "buckets". I decided I'm some eclectic mix (which defines Gamine, but I don't like the staccato, color blocking, etc). I *think* maybe horizontal and vertical measuring systems might be more helpful, ie hip/shoulders, and vertical proportions (Fashion Fit Formula).

Love this for you. I still see a very natural/classic toned down makeup look on you in this video. For tr winged eyeliner is very pronounced and brows and lips are defined. Despite their features being delicate, the glam is effortless. You being an SD can definitely up the ante for sure and I'd like to see you play with that even if only for the video and not real life. Increase the coats of mascara or try falsies. Define the brows. Try a winged smokey rich sultry eye. More volume in hair curls. You are right about the bold or statement jewelry on SD. Have fun experimenting and exploring.

Outfit number three is my fave and pretty much my style as an SD.

Your makeup looks great.

Your bust pass the arms shoulder lines; I am struggling with it, finding if I am SD or FN, since I have wide hips, someone said I could be a wider FN. Very helpful video, thanks you ❤

I'm 5'11" and decidedly a Soft Dramatic! I'm trying to move back towards that currently in my attire...but I've always felt that dressing as a SD when you are a regular person and not a movie star can be a bit hard, like you are trying to be something you're not. However, I'm ready to give it another "go". I've lost a good bit of weight over the years...put some beta-blocker weight on because COVID made my heart go into A-Fib and I had to take them until I had a cardiac ablation...but finally took the weight off again this summer. I was at the doctor again yesterday for a "wellness check" and surprisingly, I hadn't gained any weight back...the surprise was the way I was eating Halloween candy the week before! I'd dearly love to take off another 25-35 pounds before spring...which would get me close to my high school/college weight, and then I would feel better about investing in some appropriate SD clothes.

I'm a soft dramatic too ☺ and I definitely think you are as well!

You remind me of Adele, I think you're definitely a Soft Dramatic, that turtle neck outfit especially is soo good on you.

I watched a video from somebody who said it looks really great if your shoes match your hair.

u look so good in outfit 4

Is there any reason we can’t treat Kibbe types like Kitchener essences, in that we could combine them if it makes sense? Like, you could be 50% FN and 50% SD? Because surely no one fits perfectly into one type, and I find the height restrictions really limiting. For example, I’m pretty sure I’m a soft dramatic (yang bone structure - 5’7, very long arms and legs and long, thin, hands and feet, large bust, mixed facial features, but yin flesh - very round and fleshy, soft cheeks etc). The only part that doesn’t fit is that my shoulders and rib cage are very narrow. My girlfriend is the same height as me. She is definitely not a natural because she has a very round hourglass shape, and not dramatic because other than her height she is entirely yin. And yet there is no way she is the same type as me - she has much more yin everywhere, shorter, rounded arms, legs, hands and feet, rounder face etc. If it wasn’t for her height I would say she was a pure romantic. To me it would just make more sense to combine them but idk if there’s some point that I’m missing

I also thought FN was me and have gravitated to SD. Because FN are too square, too big and while people tell you to ignore the face, Kibbe doesn't actually; and It turns out my face is more sharp and romantic looking, at the same time, which is baically how SD is described. Plus, well, I kept wondering why they said FN never actually look gooid in Dramatic clothing when, in fact, I do. I have passed for Dramatic many times as long as I wasn't standing next to a real one.

i only really relate to soft gamine but with my height the only thing i can techinically be is soft dramatic but it just doesnt feel like it fits me so im so stumped

I would agree you're soft dramatic. You might have natural essence though 😊👍

What about a SD with small bust? I'm 6 ft tall, quite sharp facial features, my shoulders are quite narrow. My hips are curved but I'm not overly feminine (round) shaped in general. I have no diva chique vibes nor feel attracted to old Hollywood style. Confusing 😂 for a long time I thought I'm DC but I'm too tall. I'm dedinitely not a D.

Where did you get the knitted cardigan ? :)

I gave up on figuring out what my type was too. But now I think I am a soft dramatic too. It was what I thought I was originally but…. Kept going down the rabbit hole

I'm in a different quandry. I am a normal hourglass shape with my hips, shoulders and waist all equal in measurement and a waist thats 30% smaller. I'm 5'9. That means I should be SD or curvy FN but I dont look as tall as I am. I don't think I'm frame dominant or curve dominant. I look best in classic lines but I'm too tall. So I wear classic lines 😂

Just gonna mention a cheat on the vertical; a long cardigan, coat or scarf and you can wear more contrast in the rest of the outfit, cause you have an intact vertikal line ☺️

I think you are a soft dramatic. All of those outfits look really great on you.

We have the same body type. I am 172 cm tall. And I feel the most me in sofr dramatic clothes. I also don't have big boobs, but a very curvy lines (hourglass shape), almost indenticall to you. I look great with quite dramatic makeup, and I have curly hair. Big blouaut hair also looks great on me. The moast important style rule for me is defining waist line.

I just had an analysis done by Ellie-Jean, and she told me I was a Soft Dramatic. Now I'm trying to absorb as much information as possible. I was really surprised because I'm not very tall, and I thought the Dramatics category would be the last on the list for me. Clearly, I'm a complete novice. 😫

2nd message, could you be another case like Dakota Johnson 5'7 where nobody agrees on her Kibbe identity and goes from being in the Natural , Classic and Dramatic family 🙂 Though myself I don't see her in the Natural element I think Dakota J. has too much sharpness to be in the N family . I think she is somewhere between DC and SD but she really leans towards needing some Classic structure in my opinion , Eva

Please try Soft Natutal. Thats all I kept thinking the whole video. I know 'the height' and 'the shoulders', but it isn't the exact science. I am willing to bet you are SN. ❤

I mean, this style work for you for sure. You have the curves to pull outfits like this off. Tricky to know is, if those clothes really represent you. And if so, how you make this style your own. I'm actually quite the opposite. Very petite and no visible curves at all despite having a big bust. I lean towards, classic and natural styles. I'm quite sure I am some type of a gamin, but I am not a hundert percent sure.

Hey Vicki! Just so you know waist emphasis is not recommended for SDs as it cuts vertical. It was on the SK page :) Waist definition is ok, but belts or ties that cut the vertical would not be recommended as far as my understanding.

4:47 yes definitely you are right. Btw I somewhere found that Bella Hadid is SD, even though she lost lots of weight she is, and she definitely doesn't have big boobs. To me you are pretty much SD, I don't know why people in the comments keep mentioning FN. It's so obvious you are SD.

I love outfit no 3

No idea why you thought you had broad shoulders.

So... looking at the clothes, I haven't really seen kibbe curve accommodating pieces. So far, you've just accomodated vertical. So you have dressed for a Dramatic. The pieces do not go around the curve or have a romantic essence. Think ruching, surplice neckline, corset style top with stiffness, wrap top etc. These pieces are made to work around the curve. Curve accommodating isn't just hugging or skimming the curves. I think including that would make it SD as it would include curve accommodation to the vertical you've already done so well. And they all look lovely on you in this video especially the black (if that's the color) dress. I encourage people to fully commit when testing lines as that's the only way to fully rule out something. Depending on the stretch in the fabric D, FN and SD can wear all these pieces you've shown. It rules out nothing. But only an SD can wear the curve focused pieces. Essence wise, I think you have some drama in you, but perhaps personality wise you prefer the natural laid back style. When you wore the turtle neck and put your hair in a ponytail... jeez the drama was 1000%. Serving hot boss lady. You are so beautiful.

I agree with SD. My understanding is Kibbe at basic level is a fit system, and where does fit need to accommodate the body? If one is tall and hourglass, and one does NOT have issues that the shoulders in garments tend to be too small for their body, but instead their fit issue is to accommodate the bust, that’s not FN, that’s SD.

If you can wear marks and Spencer’s trousers probably you are flamboyant natural. They don’t cater to soft dramatics in their advertising. Best wishes on your journey and more content please.

I think I’m the opposite. I’m 5ft 9 and test as a soft dramatic but I feel so much more comfortable in flamboyant natural clothing even though I don’t have broad shoulders. I don’t like emphasizing my waist and curves or looking “sexy”. I like long flowing modest clothing. I have a problem with both though because I have a very long torso. The recommendations for a long torso conflict with the recommendations for soft dramatics and flamboyant naturals ie don’t try to shorten the look of your torso. I would feel really uncomfortable in the clingy clothes you tried on. You look like a soft dramatic from the waist down and a flamboyant natural above the waist so I get your confusion. I get confused too in that I am neither hourglass nor broad shouldered so I don’t entirely fit either category. I think the Kebbe system in general can be confusing and doesn’t have a category for everyone.

I would say dramatic or flambyant natural.

I am a soft dramatic and for me you look more like a flamboyant natural . I would like to see you in flamboyant natural outfits to compare

I think soft natural

I hope my comment genuinely helps. I don’t think you are soft dramatic and here’s why. When looking at body types start with the basics. It’s a combination of bone structure and flesh. Bone structure will be sharp, blunt, or soft. Flesh will be dry, athletic, or soft. You have to fit the combination of these things to be a certain body type.The bone structure of a dramatic is undeniably sharp. Think sharpness in the bones of the cheeks, nose, collarbone, wrists, hands, etc. So a SD has sharp bones with soft flesh on top. This is the first test and that’s where it doesn’t quite fit for you. You have very blunt bones. Not only in your face but also in your body. It lacks sharpness. And yes you can slightly fit into hours glass and long vertical but these are very long vertical and very hourglass women. Yours is more on the moderate side. So with blunt bones, soft flesh, moderate to tall vertical, and slight hourglass you don’t fit SD. That being said you look beautiful and I find that we can borrow concepts from body types that are close even if they aren’t fully us.

1m71? I thought you're WAY taller, like 1m80 and more😅

I think, you are SD. I'd go for bigger hair and a bit more dramatic eye and lip.

Altho you are definitely curvy, I do still believe you are a FN. When I look at you I see frame over curves. In my opinion you are frame dominant and not curve dominant. And your beautiful broad jawline and facial features also perfectly fit into the FN description. However the outfits still look amazing on you!
