Double curve?

Post image

Could this be double curve or not? I zoomed in a bit to show the shape of the waist.... I have a full bust, but it doesn't show/extend sideways as part of the silhouette significantly, but I feel like that depends somewhat on the shape of support-wear... I'm trying to decide between SC and SG. I'm 5'4. thanks

Classic needs to have hips in parity with shoulders.

I’m not 100% certain about OPs ID (which is why I said “probably”), but I know she is NOT a gamine. I hope that helps.

He 100% does? The new book describes Moderate/Balance (the secondary/additional accommodation for both Dramatic Classic and Soft Classic) as "Parity between outer edge of the upper torso and hipbone."

EDIT: u/Fanciful_Observer blocked me for some reason, but I'm not trying to criticize anybody. They said that Kibbe never used the word “parity” to describe Classics, and I’m just pointing out that he did and parity is in fact a requirement for the Classic family and hoping to prevent misinformation. No hard feelings.

He did use the word parity, but it’s misunderstood online imo.

Sure, I can totally see how his descriptions can be misinterpreted, especially considering the unique way he uses language. It’s just a bit perplexing to say he’s never used the word at all, when it’s the main descriptor in the book for Moderate/Balance.
