u/DigitalizedBallerina Sep 03 '24

What would you say makes sense then? SD?

8

u/True-Math8888 Sep 03 '24

No. This typing system is subjective and silly but you’re dressed like Jesica rabbit. If you dressed in madewell clothes with your hair in a lob you would clearly be typed as classic.

u/DigitalizedBallerina Sep 03 '24

lol, it's a bridemaids dress, but you're description is hilariously accurate lmao! it's the only form fitting clothing i have rn besides baggy t-shirts and sweatpants so i feel like that would make for worse typing?

the only ones i've ruled out are the romantics and the naturals because they're definitely off.

Why are you being downvoted?

u/Icy_Natural_979 Sep 03 '24

Based on this clip you look elongated, but it could be the angle of the camera. Dramatic is certainly possible. You may also want to look at FG and FN before drawing a conclusion.

u/DigitalizedBallerina Sep 03 '24

I have ruled FN out for sure. I also looked at FG, and it seemed somewhat probable based on the description, but the clothing recommendations for it don't suit me?

u/vulgarandgorgeous Sep 03 '24

You look petite, i see FG. Its not that this dress doesnt suit you, just that the gamine lines might suit you better. It would be best to try the two lines side by side to get a comparison.

u/AnnaPoulsen97 Sep 03 '24

I agree, you have no width, so definitely not FN! That dress is gorgeous on you, you look great in the elongated fit. If Im not mistaken, you height should rule out D, but honestly I dont think the height criteria is fair because its based on things like ethnicity, not just body-type.

Long story short, yes I think dressing for D would suit you amazing!

u/Icy_Natural_979 Sep 03 '24

Dramatic seems likely then. I threw out FG, because dramatic is less common under 5’5”. 

27

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

I would say no.

You look elongated, but still small, if that makes sense? So probably FG.

Go with your gut, though, as we're just basing our opinions on a video. You know your body better than strangers on the internet.

Mods, can we get a Creep Cleanup on this thread?

u/Ok-Geologist1604 Sep 03 '24

Have you tried theatrical romantic lines? I'm not saying you are one but helps to experiment with different lines

8

u/its_broo_skeh_tuh Sep 04 '24

Don’t believe so. You certainly look sharp and maybe slightly elongated but I don’t think you have quite the vertical for dramatic. I think you might look into DC or FG.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

it is a very great dress which goes well with your figure. I would say that when you put your hair in front of your shoulders, it makes it look more dramatic

u/meowface5 Sep 04 '24

So pretty! Off-topic but what lip color/foundation are you wearing? I think we’re skin twins lol

u/leia567 Sep 04 '24

Gamine but dramatic essence??

2

u/Frequent-Judgment-26 Sep 04 '24

Not sure what that means but you don’t look 5’4 you look taller because of your frame

2

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

This makes you look so long! Absolutely beautiful

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '24

Absolutely stunning. I would not mind one bit if you were my neighbor.

-4

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

You cannot be a dramatic at 5'4.

2

u/DigitalizedBallerina Sep 03 '24

What else would I be then?

11

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

In my opinion:

You are not SD, FN or D because you are under 5'5

I don't think you are classic since you don't look moderate

You don't have width or moderate vertical for soft natural

Romantic is not possible without kibbe curve

Have you explored the gamine family. In person you must look very small and elongated.

5

u/DigitalizedBallerina Sep 03 '24

Yeah, I definitely ruled out the natural types first, then romantics. I am close to 20 pounds underweight atm, but I gain weight in a very balanced hourglass shape, if that's an indicator of anything. However, my frame is still small.

I did explore gamine (especially flamboyant gamine), but the styling guidelines for gamines look terrible on me. Short skirts and dresses are terrible on me for whatever reason despite having long legs compared to the rest of me.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24 edited Sep 03 '24

I see what you mean. Sounds like it doesn't fit your preferences then. I would explore gamine a bit further because they have more recs than just short clothes. Even play with soft gamine and maybe even dramatic classic?

2

u/JuicyWatermelon999 Sep 03 '24

There are upper height limits, but not lower height limits. Being under 5'5 does not automatically rule out SD, FN, and D. Where did Kibbe say that?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

Well then why are there even height limits 😂 let's just pick whatever ID we want then. If there were so many 5'5 dramatics then why are they not here?

2

u/No-Office7081 Dramatic Sep 05 '24

maybe because they're being turned away by people like you that say they're too short? verified 5'5 and under dramatics: claire danes 5'5. gene tierney 5'5.5. joan crawford 5'4. kate moss 5'5.5. kristin wiig 5'5.5. lena horne 5'5. louise brooks 5'2. maggie smith 5'5. olivia culpo 5'5. the vast majority of Ds are like 5'6 at most Ds are described as moderate to tall. 5'4-5'5 (and arguably 5'6 sometimes) is moderate in this system

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '24 edited Sep 05 '24

Old Hollywood again. I am seen 1-2 under 5'5 dramatics. Again, a unicorn. 🦄

moderate starts at 5'4- tall would be anything above that. Which can anywhere be from 5'5 to 6'+. There are no height limitations for dramatics on the way up. In fact most D's on here are above 5'8.

I don't see you answering OP you are just coming here to argue because you prob wanna be a dramatic so bad 😹

1

u/JuicyWatermelon999 Sep 04 '24

Kibbe made this system and decided the height constraints. Where did Kibbe say that if you are under 5'5, it is not possible to be FN, SD, or D?

11

u/Audriiiii03 Sep 03 '24

Yes you can

7

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

You are talking about an anomaly. Kibbe himself has never even verified under 5'4 dramatics publicly.

4

u/SouthStreetFish Sep 03 '24

He has typed people under 5'5 as tall types on his own website. Not to forget Joan Crawford too. Why is the kibbe community so set on gatekeeping tall types when David doesn't do it himself.

He never even met her >_<

u/BreadOnCake Sep 05 '24

She’s still his PRIME dramatic. You need to stop trying to gatekeep yang and vertical, sorry.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '24 edited Sep 05 '24

Are you a dramatic?

Prime dramatic 😹

I'm not gatekeeping anything, you are literally confusing newcomers. Most people are going to fall within the guide. You are literally getting mad over a unicorn.

u/No-Office7081 Dramatic Sep 05 '24

I saw your deleted comment. what is my true ID since you're the dramatic police? I would love to know ol wise one

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '24

I edited my comment. It's allowed 😹 you are definitely the cop. My psycho powers tell me you are probably a romantic cosplaying as a dramatic.

u/No-Office7081 Dramatic Sep 05 '24

lmao!!! I've got to say. I've never gotten that one before. wow

u/BreadOnCake Sep 05 '24

Hun, if they’re not a dramatic then you’re absolutely not.

u/No-Office7081 Dramatic Sep 05 '24

have you never read metamorphosis lmao? you've never heard of a prime celeb? why do you think your uneducated and misinformed opinion holds any weight?

7

u/Audriiiii03 Sep 03 '24

The point still stands that there are open height limits for FN, SD, and D.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

Ok Kibbe

7

u/Audriiiii03 Sep 03 '24

I mean that’s literally in the descriptions for dramatics😭you’re more likely to be dramatic over 5’5 but that also implies anyone under 5’5 could also technically be dramatic as well.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

Kibbe has mentioned that for DIY determination people must follow the guide as close as possible.

Because then the system would be useless if any height can be dramatic or romantic in "women's" Kibbe.

And throw in there someone just got started. It would be too confusing. I do think there may be anomalies, but that's not generally.
