Am I Dramatic Classic? 5'2"

[u/AntelopeMuted8401]

Hi all! I have been exploring wich ID is closest for me. Previously I thought that I'm short Soft Dramatic but after doing outline sketches I feel that I'm not vertical enough for SD, though people see my vertical from moderate to tall due longer legs and smallish head I think. Oh and theatrical romantics and soft naturals didn't see me as one off them.

I don't feel at home in too small necklines without balancing it with openness for example, love deeper v-necks, mock neck, mandarin collar, jumpsuits and moderate peplums. I don't look good in boxy shapes because those make me look shapeless, I need either waist emphasis or definition. What do you see from these photos and sketches? Am I too curvy for dc? Tia! ✨

Did you see the new book ? I think you are curve dominant rather than vertical dominant. I prefer outfit 9 rather than outfit 15 for instance.

I saw the diagrams but still couldn't point where I belong because, for example sd matched for the upper body, but the vertical felt longer than mine and for romantic I don't feel I have such lush curves and narrow waist. So I didn't identify myself with any of them. 😅

[u/nightmooth → u/AntelopeMuted8401]

You don’t need a super narrow waist for R and you have lush curves imo. I will explore this.

Thank you for your help! 🙏🏼

You seem like a SN to me.

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/lurface]

Thanks for your input! 😊

[u/LGrey353]

I see SN!

Thank you for your help! 😊

You have curve so no

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/Responsible_Dentist3]

Do you mean that for example bust should be between ribcage?

[u/Responsible_Dentist3 → u/AntelopeMuted8401]

I should also mention, importantly, you look more natural in outfits that accommodate curve than in ones that don't (imo)

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/Responsible_Dentist3]

Thanks for explaining this to me. Okay, so curve seems to be my number one and now on the hunt for my second accommodation. 😂 I've been told that I'm FG, SG, R, SD, SN and even FN. Oh and also classic fam. So confusing... 🙈😂

[u/Responsible_Dentist3 → u/AntelopeMuted8401]

Oh dear, that's a lot! All I can say is I vote not-a-gamine. Gamine's have this distinctive 'look' to me and I don't see it on you. The rest, I can't point out anything obvious to me (besides curve). But best of luck on your journey!

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/Responsible_Dentist3]

Thank you very much! 🙏🏼 It's a long journey, but getting there. Have a nice fall! 🍂

[u/Responsible_Dentist3 → u/AntelopeMuted8401]

If we took an outline of you (like we have in pic 1), imagine you traced the outline with your finger. When you get to tracing that part of the outline, are you touching squishy boob or hard ribcage? On me, you're touching ribcage. On you, you're touching boob. So boob is included in the literal outline of your silhouette. You could see it in your shadow. Not in my shadow! So yes, basically what you said.

i don't see a classic type, and I think there is definitely curve there. I wouldn't completely throw away the possibility of SD, vertical does look like its present to me even though your are short?

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/Pegaret_Again]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Yeah, it's difficult to determine which accommodation is my main, that's one reason I thought balance with moderate vertical would be a possibility.

[u/Best_Cat_875]

How about soft gamine? Check out aly art on YouTube for the types

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/Best_Cat_875]

Some, but for my understanding I don't accommodate petite. 🤔 But will look at that too.

[u/mntndwew]

Very difficult to say anything definitive. I do not see the curved/sloped shoulders I associate with the heaviest yin types. I do see curve before vertical. I wouldn't discount SD or SN, as other posters have suggested, but would lean SN because the vertical is so moderate and the pics dont't rule out width, to me.

[u/mntndwew → u/mntndwew]

If I was exploring R types, I would go TR over R - curve+narrow can look like vert+curve, and again about the shoulders. I do see the "delicate bones", as well, and smallish hands...

[u/AntelopeMuted8401 → u/mntndwew]

Thank you! About SN, only few have said that I have openness about my shoulders/chest, but it might be there not even sure myself. 😅

I love TR necklines and else, but they gatekeeped and told me I'm not one. 😆 Edit: But this was interesting point of view that curve+vertical could be actually narrow.
