thank you!

@@merriamstyle My reply is 7 months late, but you're welcome!😅

[Esc] reality!? Kinda cool to see u here! Love ur work! Wollte ich nur mal los werden..

Llama Sugar This makes a lot of sense!

Clean Diarrhea Only for body-typing purposes! 😊

Wow this actually makes sense! No wonder I look short at 5'7" with broad shoulders. Thanks a lot!

yeah I didn't even know of that corner of the internet! and when I google body geometry or bone structure test, I don't really see anything coming up for mtf trans. So I'm confused. If anyone knows what's going on, let me know.

Jealousy.

people are weird. insecure. dissatisfied with themselves. jealous. all of it.

It's a conspiracy theory. I wouldn't be so insulted by a conspiracy theorist since they are just crazy and delusional right? Or maybe you fear that they might be right? and your perception of reality might be shattered?

T M I mean yeah sometimes people say shit out of jealousy but you can't generalize a whole group of people especially when you've never met a single person of said group. We are conspiracy theorists, truthers or what have you. Maybe we're all just delusional or maybe we're onto something. Don't forgot the celebs use heavy makeup, photo shop, plastic surgery, wigs, angles, poses, perfect lighting, fake nails, corsets, rib removal, and strategic fashion to hide their true nature. If the celebs are so beautiful and perfect why do they need all that? I use none of it and I still get admired for my beauty as a woman. The whole idea is based on skeletal structure differences between a man and woman. It's based on a forensics science and you have to take in consdieration all the possible body alterations mentioned above to take away from the true skeletal structure. The more you study male vs female structure the better of an eye you have for it

This is me - I get a 3 way split between A, C and D/E on every test. I'm not very fleshy though, except in my face, so it's easy to see which category I fall into (or fail to fall into, being both mixed AND blended!)

Are you gamine?

@@labornurse In theory Soft Gamine would sound ideal, since I'm only 5.2'. In practice it all falls apart. Horizontal lines make me look stumpy and frumpy, especially if I don't match my trousers and shoes. Even belts can be too much. I am easily overwhelmed by prints, especially detailed like for Romantics or animated/ perky like Gamines. Gamine styles generally make me look large and awkward, especially short dresses. I may be short, but I'm not petite. Since I have a moderate amount of C answers on the test, I don't look good if my proportions are out of balance. On the other hand, I have a floor-length velvet dress, which creates one long line and shows off curves, which looks just perfect. This leads me to conclude I am not a Gamine (I do have SG and FG colleagues, so I have a good idea what the lines look like). And it does generally work for me to go for clean silhouettes like SC, but add textures and details for SN.

aw thank you for such a kind comment!

It is 100% kibbe, its just renaimed

@@taritangeo4948 Ok. It is easier to follow than the original test which I have seen. He doesn't go by the test anymore anyways. The way she explains things seem clear.

I am totally lost

Tari Tangeo ikr, I am a theatrical romantic and most of my answers were D and E with a touch of A. It is basically the same principles

Maybe flamboyant natural?

*KZfaqr

Mixed is the same as gamine, and in Kibbe gamine, with extra Yang is Flamboyant Gamine.

Aqualyra what is yang?

PlayfulMyth18 I am a TR too, and I got mostly D/E with some touches of A

Bevelled types are usually big, heavy, wide, whereas mixed types are usually small, light, narrow in my opinion

@@ingrid9635, I second your descriptive adjectives! I question that having mixed bones/ being mixed type is the matching opposite of bevelled. Bevelled bones can contribute to having mixed answers. So are we missing anything? Or is blendet our point zero of with the characteristics sharp, rounded and bevelled branch out? Could there be a lean category?

aww! thank you! merry christmas to you too!!

@@merriamstyle Thank you, Gorgeous! :D

That's true, but the length of your limbs is the subject of another answer. If you were to count them in the vertical line answer, then they would be counted twice.

Diana L But they still affect your vertical line tho. Especially the combination between small head/big head with long/short limbs. It’s the overall look on how tall you look, not just your head. Someone with small head and limbs will look smaller than someone who has a small head and tall limbs.

I agree...all of the ladies at 7:27 look tall to me. When I see Audrey, I see a tall lady. Doesn’t matter that her head is big because her limbs are long, that automatically creates elongation. I think head size definitely does influence your vertical line but the length of the limbs is just as important.

vanilla mochi Both Audrey Hepburn and Zendaya are considered FG and they both have larger heads and a longer arms/legs. While they both look at least somewhat tall to me, their larger heads makes them look shorter and keeps them from being maybe a dramatic or something else. The size of your head is a factor, but not the only factor.

The reason I didn't do it that way is because I don't want to double count the arms and legs. Imagine if we said that having a larger bust line also makes you look more hourglass....then we would double count those two answers, you see? It's the combination of factors that ends up making your bone structure, and the size of the head is one of them, as are the length of the limbs. I agree with you that the limbs being shorter makes someone look shorter, but that's already accounted for in the limbs question.

you compare withing the body and you see the line as it is, not in contrast to other bodies. Although it helps to look at them to see how exactly long arms look and such. Have to train the eyes a bit and paying really close attention to proportions. Good luck!

Its a highly subjective system, influenced by the angle of the photo and the viewers own interpretation and artistic language bc in reality, human bodies dont quite fit into categories. Its artistic interpretations, not reality.

I imagine it's better to study other humans first. Analyzing your own proportions can be super tricky as our brains have spent a lifetime developing biases and blind spots. Reminds me of the fact that we see our own nose constantly, anytime our eyes are open.. but our brains have learned to tune that info out.

@@MK-ih6wp So true. I think this is the main reason why I find it so difficult to objectively identify characteristics of my own body. However, I do still struggle with seeing lines of the body on other people unless they are very obviously sharp or soft.

@@juliannedyck2054 I am hopeless at analyzing myself too. I have just learned to use other people as my mirror. I read them as they read me, if that makes any sense. Doesnt work with people who know me, friends/family are too biased. Acquaintances & strangers tend to give the most useful feedback, IMO. As for analyzing other people...I wish I could stop. Its distracting & it makes me feel shallow for noticing the physical qualities of others. Esp when these things are out of people's control (aside from hormones, surgery, etc).

it's the same for gamines, now FG are gamine with sharp yang and David kibbe moved those with blunt yang into SN

Omg this! I'm totally in between Classic and Natural and i just can't find myself in any type.

Same but I think in my case it's just fat lol

AJ Barth same lol. I have back fat that I’m trying to get rid of

Same! Mine are sloped and rounded, but look wide (and I have a small head!).

Might be answer E

B

If you check out the Truth is Beauty's system which is modified Kitchener the blend between Blended aka Class and Mixed aka Gamine (and also Ingenue) that mix IS taken into account. So for those of us who have this going on we can finally find what works for us! I am not an affiliate and didn't receive anything for mentioning this. I'm just into tracking all the various style typing systems www.truth-is-beauty.com/style-analysis.html and had a deuce of a time finding what worked for me using Kibbe and related systems that assume there could be no blend between the two combined types.

Softer version of sharpened like Tyra Banks, maybe?

I can't tell by my individual features, either, but I look more like a young boy than a feminine woman. I'm "lucky" to have cousins who look a lot like me but their features are extremely feminine, so I have something to compare myself to. I'm not as masculine as Tilda Swinton; as a Soft Dramatic, I literally have softened Dramatic features. My boyish face has always been an embarrassment to me, but as I got older, I've shown my age less than other women.

Have you seen Merriam's "style actualization" video for Rachel McAdams? She talks a bit about wearing TR vs. SG lines. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opddYKx70ci9g2w.html

That’s what mine is, I think I’m gamine

I have the very same question because my features are like that 😅

I think she said, you could answer both separately. So i.e. answer A/B for arms, and answer D/E for the legs is quite possible.

I have the same question and it is an important one. I have very long arms, and short legs. Imo the length of your legs in comparison to the length of your body is the most important measure for determining your vertical line.

My hypothesis is that it could be a sign you are a mixed type (different length of arms and legs), or a rounded type with an undercurrent (type like Rihanna). However there is a possibility of that for any type, just as Merriam said we are all unique.

@@ju2082 I would say one needs rounded shoulders and hips to be a rounded type. I have come to the realization that there will be outliers, like me, who just don't fit into any of the types including flamboyant gamine.

aw that's so wonderful!! :')

Same

same, I got half and half!!!

sounds like primarily blended. how do DC lines look on you?
