Curve (in kibbe) is made of flesh (fat, imo but ppl dont like the word so they say flesh instead). Flesh it can be squished. Bones cannot be squished. You will have wrinkles if its thick fabric but its ONLY at the bust and hips. They need the waist emphasis, not to avoid the wrinkles but because if they dont, the fabric will be pushed out and your whole torso will look really wide bc of that. Also bc itll be uncomfortable. If you have curvy hips and wear straight leg trousers, itll feel way too tight at the hips and make you look "sexy" rather than professional. If Marylin didnt have that shirt thcked in, she would look fat because the top would connect the bust to the hips and create a rectangle or square shape. You can see how her waist is right on top of her hip bones. So for thise without "curve" at the hips, can still have wide looking hips but theyre wide due to the bone structure and instead of having fleshy hips, the widest part will be a lot lower than the actual hip bone. (Look at jennifer love Hewitt for example) In kibbe, curve is a continuous line like the letter S or 8 You can have curvy hips but if you dont have the bust curve, you dont have kibbe curve. You can have bust curve but if you dont have curve at the hips, you dont have kibbe curve. You can have curve at the hips and bust but have "wide" shoulders (long collarbone) aka width and so you dont have double curve. The reason she has double curve is because her shoulders are narrower than her torso Look at the right side of her body, If you drew a line from the bust up to her shoulders, it would create a ) shape Soft naturals dont have double curve because their shoulders are not narrow and if they wear something like turtlenecks, theyll feel uncomfortable, get wrinkles at the collarbone area and they will look like they are choking or loke its too tight (look at scarjo or j.lo in a turtleneck) Look at a picture of marilyn or Elizabeth taylor in a button up shirt, you can see how the shoulders are so small that it makes the shoulders look like a circle or like its too big on them. It literally wont fit in that area and it wont "hang" the way it would on a wire hanger. The shirt wont have structure up there. Vertical is elongation so the bust waist and hips will be much further apart and if they wear mini skirts or something like that, itll look awkward like its too short (look at cameron diaz or cindy crawford in a mini dress) On someone like Keira Knightley or Claire Danes their torso is really long and if you draw over it, itll be made of straight lines. Id recommend looking at pictures of them in normal clothes rather than red carpet because usually they wear gowns that change the way the shape of their body actually looks. Also, you dont need a big bum, big hips or big bust for double curve. Look at mila kunis or jada pinkett they look very straight but because their bodies are tiny and dont have width OR vertical, their bust and hips are on top of eachother and push fabric out a little, they need to wear a certain CUT of fabric to show off their figure.

​@@uggggggghhhhh The BEST explanation I've read about this topic. You have just made me understand the Kibbe logic and for the first time It made sense. Also, I can rule out the double curve for myself. I think I'm a soft natural so you made me really happy! (I like that style better for myself, matches better my personality)

Yes, with double curve, the bust waist and hips are very close together. Because the curve at the legs will be long. If they wear like a super mini dress, the skirt part of it wont be long enough to show your curve. Itll stop in the middle of the curve and look awkward. Kibbe essentially wants your clothing to fit the shapes in your body. He wants the fabric to be able to touch all of those shapes. If you wear a mini skirt, the fabric wont touch the entire curve from beginning to end. If you look at monica belucci vs kate winslet (both 5'7 iirc) youll see that Monica has a longer circle on the bottom half of her body. Like an oval. Her legs look longer too. If you look at monica in pants, her legs look like long sticks but she still has curvy hips. Same with Barbra Streisand. Also, they dont have the same vibe. Kate looks kind, voluptuous, soft, dreamy, sweet, friendly, etc. Monica looks more intimidating, domineering, sexy, etc. if one could work as a dominatrix, who would pull off the look best? Monica If Kate literally bumped into Monica, just by looking at them, who do you think will fall to the floor? Probably Kate. Kate also looks "chubby" without being fat. Aka, you dont see her bones through her skin. For example, Sarah Jessica Parker looks muscular, firm and boney even though she isnt stick thin or anything You get the same vibe with Sophia Loren.

@@uggggggghhhhh thank you for taking the time with this great reply. 💙

you can, but it depends on your most dominant features. tr's like jada pinkett smith and mila kunis are like that and romantics like christina ricci and bernadette peters (whos more wide than chesty but still lush). romantics have small, short bones and are rounded all over. they also accommodate curve, which means more about how your skin drapes over your bones than how much fat you have. im not an expert so take this with a grain of salt! gabrielle aruuda has much better explainations if you wanna know more

I think Beyonce is romantic

Beyoncé is a Kibbe verified romantic! What are you talking about?
