this is a great video! I'd just suggest to put timestamps within the video for each type as well as showing a celebrity for each type dressed against their style! I still understood tho

Loving all the new videos. 😊

Thanks Merriam for the upload- I am always blown away by your talent and 'eye' (the drawings!). I am FG and well-versed in the topic, but it was helpful to know what the 'opposite' is- i.e. that I need to avoid Soft Dramatic lines. And indeed, long flowy dresses as an example are so unflattering on me. Thank you!

I found this video to be very helpful. Liked the approach of what not to do, along with the illustrations! Thank you, Merriam.

As a blended (classic) type, I think tucking can actually look quite good, as long as the fabric is very thin and soft and I carefully smooth the folds. Thick stiff fabrics I definitely cannot tuck because it creates those folds as you said. Stiffer fabrics really only work on me if they are tailored, and even then can't be too bulky. In terms of what looks the worst on me, I'd say that beveled lines do look pretty terrible especially when layered. A sweater over an oversized button down shirt for example. It just combines that textured look with bumpy bulk and that looks pretty awful. And to make it even worse, make it gathered somewhere and add loud patterns all over it. I can pull off one oversized item as long as the fabric isn't too bulky and its otherwise very simple. It makes me look a bit more delicate than normal I think.

It's so true. As a Soft Dramatic I have one dress like that... I never wear it😂 Now I realize why I never liked Chanel looks It's a big NO for Soft Dramatics.

It's good that you showed with examples. I'm some type of Sharpened, but I can pull off short and frilly lines better than I can Beveled, so I was surprised to see that's not the big no in either of them.

You are brilliant. You really know ur stuff

Great video. I enjoy your way of explaining body lines but this video made it very clear. It has confirmed (in case I wasn’t sure) that I’m blended type (dramatic classic). This is more noticeable as I get older!! But also could be more noticeable because oversized garments and casual/natural style garments are very fashionable /popular right now and I don’t look good in them at all. Put me in a tailored garment and I shine. I find casual looks a challenge though. I’m experimenting with “smart” outfits and swapping one “smart” item with one casual item to produce a casual outfit that looks good on me (eg tailored skirt, tailored shirt, neat boots and a fitted bomber jacket - the latter being the casual item OR wide leg jeans (casual item) with tucked in button down shirt, belt and neat heeled boots (flat boots or sneakers with the wide leg jeans doesn’t look great on me at all). Thanks for emphasising texture as not being well suited for blended types. ❤

Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

Fantastic!!

You are so accurate!!! I am smack in the middle of SN/SG. I like how you explain the complexities! I have a hard time because I have a strong shoulder but I’m very muscular but curvy too (think Shakira but more robust/vavavoom). I try to mix my lines some softy romantic lines but I need a little structure. I get so confused sometimes 😂

I think this was actually helpful to solidify my type.

Love this video! Can you make a video about what effects each type would make when dressing in each type’s lines? You’ve done some of it like gamine dressed in classic lines and I think dramatic dressed in romantic lines, but I would love if you could go through systematically for each type dressing as every other type and what it can look like on them ❤

Hi dear. Just wanted to tell you to perhaps get a stronger light because there is a lot of shadows on your face. It might make the video quality look better. Just for your own consideration. ❤

Hi 👋 Can you possibly make a video typing Barbara palvin? Vogue made a very fun video of her trying on and showing us 7 different outfits she likes to wear for each day of the week. It would be so fun to hear your analysis of them and why/how they work for her. It’s called “every outfit Barbara Palvin wears in a week” by Vogue. If you can or if you want to! it would be so awesome

Hi Merriam. So sad. I really like natural boho layered looks. But you're right they are not the best for a Theatrical Romantic. I have to do some de-cluttering so now I know what should be donated. Thanks for another great video.

can you please do a video on kibbe types/body types for men? please please please

Greta video! Thanks for the suggestions

❤ I’m SG and that outfit looks like a lot of my work outfits, and I hate how they look on me. I’m slowly working on adding shorter lines and sure enough, I like how they look on me much better.

Hi Miriam, you make nice vlogs, I feel that I am typed FG more by exclusion than by conviction, I am smaller (type Selena Gomez, Camilla Mendez, and also Eva Green) 165, have broader shoulders and am otherwise free apart from my bosom. yang (love the dc lines) my face is also yang with big eyes, full lips and a wider jaw, I'm a CS and can have bright combinations with patterns (I even need them) but with some moderate lines, and also monochomatic looks nice (striking lipstick/earrings) almost everything looks good (no jeans checked shirt) but maybe that is exactly what FG is :)gr Sigrid

Now I understand why I can never get the front tuck to look right! Are there other options for Blended types to style a shirt that is too long or is the only solution to get the shirt hemmed or wear something else?

I try the front tuck, and then pull it out. Now I know why. Blended.

Something that helped me determine I am a blended type is how clothes lay on my body through the torso. I absolutely need a smooth line from the bust to the hip or I look frumpy, disheveled or even overweight.

Could you share your ideas on how SF can look more dramatic (think Eva Green)?

What if I’m soft mixed and blended? Both suggestions is like opposite contrast of each other

What if one has softenedsharp but average height ?

I only know what half of the words you said means. More visuals probably would have been more helpful for me. I’m a soft natural (I think) I lost 100 pounds & trying to lose more so I’m learning more about my body every month.

As an SN or Bevelled Soft, I came to my own conclusion ages ago that Gamine lines in general are no good on me. Nor do Gamine prints work on me. Your video confirms it, however. 😀

I’m a TR, but love natural/boho essence. There must be a way to add those natural elements to TR lines, I just gotta figure it out, lol.

How to accentuate the T line? 😥 As a dramatic classic myself, the length of the shirts is a drama for me because I noticed how messy it looks the front tuck

❤

Mixed soft: 7:22

I definitely agree !! Anytime I wear soft clothing like a sharp shoulders jacket, I look like I'm wearing someone else's clothes.. looks awful on me as a Soft gamine

What’s the point of creating new names for the types? Did you add anything?

Ok. I really need help. I just want people to guess to find a way. I am short in height (5'0ft). Short neck, short hands, short and narrow fingers, rounded shoulders ,no collerbone, moderate weight (50kg), extra flesh on hands under shoulder which makes hands look wide while wearing sleeveless, heart shaped face but rounded cheek, short feet, lower part of the body is wider than upper part, waist line is clear. Please someone guess something 🥲

Any gamines here?

As a romantic im guessing thick/stiff fabrics They just don’t work for me at all 😂

Omg I’m gonna pretend like this video was based on one of my comments 😂

I want to pay you weekly to get weekly videos from you baby girl 💖💕

all your videos have very low volume..cant watch it.
