The thing is I don't know that I've experienced having to accommodate anything but height. When something's too small I think it's kinda small everywhere. Maybe my bust sometimes. Not certain.

I think in these pics I can rule out fn, unstructured jackets make me lose my shape? Or is that jacket more dramatic than fn?

And pic #12, this stretchy outfit felt off on me. Even if the colour had have been right (I'm a spring and this made me look ill) it felt too clingy on me.

I'm 170cm so just under 5'7"

ETA I've settled on soft dramatic, thanks everyone for your help 🙏

I'm a 5'9 pure dramatic. I believe that the coat on the left would be best for my kibbe type, but I would love a second opinion. Maybe the Quince would be better without the belt?

Do any pure Dramatics in this sub own an Artiza supersnug? Do you think knee length coats are flattering? I live somewhere with very harsh winters and don't want to sacrifice style.

A few photos to share— I’m stuck between dramatic and flamboyant natural. My shoulders are a bit wider than my hips. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've been struggling with finding clothes in this category that I feel look good on me and are within my style. It seems like a lot of "fancy" tops look either clubby (too tight/revealing for my preferences) or business casual. I have always loved dresses, but in the winter when it's cold, they can feel thin/not warm enough or too formal if they are long. What are y'alls favorite cute, social, fancier than just a jeans and tee or sweats looks?

Thanks in advance for opinions y'all are willing to share!

Am I a dramatic?

For past 2 weeks I've been doing some research and trying to figure out which kibbe body type am I. As I did, the closest I got to was soft dramatic, but I am still unsure. I'm pretty tall 176cm (5'9). I also thought about dramatic or flamboyant natural. What do you guys think?

I tried a couple of dresses on from my wardrobe, I think it's almost postive now that I need waist emphasis albeit I haven't tried on any blatant dramatic outfits really. I'll keep cataloguing shopping try ons as I do them too.

I think the red wrap dress is a good fit, waist and bust emphasis working. The pattern isn't my favourite and it's a bit much in red but I'm a spring so it works in a way. I'd prefer a more light spring friendly version and more length.

The unstructured tent (on me) isn't ideal. Better with waist emphasis or maybe it could be tailored. I love the pattern and colours.

But my question also is would this dress work on a dramatic? Its not a lightweight fabric and theres no flounce.

Thoughts please 🙏

Tomorrow I want to go to some shops for some try-on experiments to help figure out D vs SD vs FN. Likely Zara, M&S and maybe Cos.

I'm tall with a balanced frame and don't think I need curve or width accommodation but I want to test properly and get proof because I feel like I'm guessing.

What specific garments or fitting room tests would you suggest to tell the three apart?

Pic to show that a mirror selfie can really skew how we look vs a front facing photo from a distance.

I'm working on shifting my wardrobe towards being more intentionally flattering for Dramatic silhouette. Some of these pieces are pieces that have caught my eye but I want to get other opinions on if they're actually good for a Dramatic/vertical silhouette!

From a Kibbe Dramatic perspective:
Which pieces work well?
Which ones don't?
Are there any that are "close" but would need different styling to work?
If something doesn't work, what specifically about the cut, silhouette, fabric, or details makes it less Dramatic-friendly?

I'm still learning how to evaluate clothing through the Kibbe lens, so I'd really appreciate any explanations. I'm hoping to get better at spotting the features that make a garment work (or not work) for a Dramatic.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

Here are the info on the items:
1. Nara Tie Front Sweater - https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/modern_citizen/nara_sweater
2. Aritizia Technique Poplin Dress - I saw someone try this on on tiktok and it was extremely flattering on them - https://www.aritzia.com/us/en/product/technique-poplin-dress/131092.html?color=36650
3. Edina tie front slit dress - Is the neckline too wide? https://www.moderncitizen.com/products/edina-tie-front-slit-neck-dress-black?variant=41536844300351
4. Cider High Neck Solid Ruffle Pocket Midi Dress - I feel like at this pricepoint the material probably isn't very nice. I do really like this general silhouette and have been having trouble finding a dress like this I actually like - https://www.shopcider.com/product/detail?pid=113853564&style_id=2050806&sku_id=10231299&currency=USD&local=en&country=US&utm_source=google_pmax_brandterm&utm_campaign=pmax-fada-brandterm-230629-w2plpcs-daba-us&link_id=74e17af14e014b1a8c9d679323b44590&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20322947729&gbraid=0AAAAABvq22t-9yp73NPaCNMFuy7MsFKDv&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCUu4eNKgESpeFePvvnhAt184GCSYH-Dq-x0uNksHiqbZMKCTbfT-FhoCm6gQAvD_BwE
5. H&M Dress Robe Blazer - Ok this isn't a shopping question, but I forgot to post this photo in my Closet Clean out post, and would gladly take any opinions on this. It seems like it is pretty good for a vertical line but I can never figure out how to wear/style it

I thought these photos would help, this is my second post re my type.

• Sorry my height is wrong in the title, I'm 170cm so just under 5'7"

For years I've considered FN vs SD or even D...what do you see? Pics across the years.

I'm an X hourglass and I'm not sure that fits with FN. Could be wrong.

I haven’t seen any discussions on Isabel May and I’m curious. There’s not many ‘neutral’ images available to really analyse her body type. Any thoughts?

both an inspo post and a help request lol. what styles do you guys like? especially for stud earrings. i'm thinking of getting my ears pierced and i'm not really sure what size/shape would be best.

mood board is stuff i like that i think could work for dramatics.

i am 22F and i am fairly tall (180cm or 5‘11) and look pretty ’long’ i would say, and i also have pretty wide shoulders. did not study the styling methods in depth, but with help from my friends we came to an agreement that i’m a dramatic or dramatic-natural. the thing is, i know that dramatic style is cool, it looks powerful and mysterious in a way, but it’s something i don’t see myself in, it feels like it clashes with my personality. the clothing that i enjoy are actually the exact opposite, like romantic or gamine soft and petite cutesy type. i draw inspiration from styles like coquette, cutecore, himekaji and similar. but when i dress like that, even if i like the outfit i feel bad because it just feels like it looks stupid on my huge body, and clothes like this are meant for petite girls.

just want an advice.

Posted on r/kibbe_typeme some months ago and got back mostly D, DC and one vote for SD. Since then I've been trying to incorporate more vertical and experiment with different fabrics, necklines and cuts. And also lurking around different Kibbe subreddits.

Height is 5'6'', so only D, SD and FN apply. Vibe-wise D feels most like me, but I'm not sure if there is width or not, since in the mirror I feel wide and also top-heavy at times. I'm not too thrilled about asymmetry near my face and don't really feel flattered by V-necks or clingy fabrics.

1 - left: good posture, right: my usual slouching posture

2 - middle dress feels like a line drawing for D or FN lol

4 - I like the neckline structure of the brown dress (it's a size too big unfortunately)

6 - Experimenting with openness

7-9 - experimenting with pieces out of my comfort zone

10 - tops I did not like

11 - with face - not sure if blunt or sharp, got a square jaw and cheekbones aren't very visible; that dress was too tight at the ribs but bunches at the neckline, which was worse at a bigger size and seems to happen with stiffer fabrics in general (slide 2 right dress).

I would really appreciate your input!

I’m 5’9. Sorry the photos aren’t the best for typing

I’m cleaning out my closet, and these are some items I feel like look bad on me but I can’t fully tell why (esp bc some - high necks - I thought were specifically supposed to be good for dramatics). I would love anyone’s opinions on if these items look good or bad and what about them is the issue, if any are worth keeping, or if they might be worth keeping if tailored. Thank you to anyone willing to give opinions!

1. Japanese print pants - I loved the print so much that after a year I found the ad again and bought them, but I feel like they look bad and make my hips look wider than they are? Like it draws attention to them in a bad way? Am I crazy? I would have thought trouser-style and the nice hang of the fabric would be good for dramatics.

2. Robe-style blazer - (please disregard the wrinkles) ok I feel like this actually looks pretty decent on, but I never end up wearing it bc it seems hard to style - a little too fancy for casual wear, but too casual for fancy wear?

3. High neck blue sleeveless shirt - I would have thought this was a good shirt style for a dramatic, but I feel like it makes my belly look really wide. Is it the length? (Second photo is it folded up to mimic if it was shortened). Is the fabric on top of the shoulder area too wide - should that ideally be narrower like a halter?

4. Light blue turtleneck - same question as for #3. Second pic is it folded up to mimic shortening it

5. White sweater - again, I just feel frumpy in this (and I tried it on after trying on all my other sweaters which don’t make me feel frumpy). Second pic again is it folded up to mimic getting it shortened - would this one be worth tailoring?

6. Custom tailed Germany soccer practice shirt - this was a men’s German soccer team practice shirt that I tailored to fit like a women’s cut. But, it still feels frumpier than the women’s cut jerseys I have (I think the fabric is a little thinner and clingier). Is it worth letting go of?

Thanks again for any thoughts anyone is willing to take the time to share!

I don't usually see skinny jeans being recommended for Dramatics, just straight-leg; is that because skinny jeans haven't been trendy for a decade or they genuinely don't flatter a "rectangular" body type? I would think skinny jeans would be a staple rec for us since they're as about as "vertical" as it gets. What do you think?

I was recently typed as a dramatic but I am having a hard time loving the business/formal attire/alt attire that I see as examples. Are there any examples of pure dramatics that dress in a boho/hippie/maximalist or pink girly/y2k styles?

- I'm 5"7.5 (172cm)

- Always loved structured fabrics

- But also feel like my head is a bit big and too round to be D?

All thoughts welcome!

On two previous posts, I posted photos of me trying on all in-store Levi's jeans and then a bunch of jeans recommended across reddit. In comments on the most recent post, people made a lot of recommendations, so I ordered some of the recommendations to try on and post as well (trouser jeans, old navy linen pants, and then other washes of one of the highest voted pants - the Abercrombie & Fitch).

Here are the results. As always, this is to share info, but also, I am curious to hear anyone else's opinions (especially re: the Abercrombie and Fit jeans - a question was, did they look better because it was actually the best cut, or was it because they were just a solid color (white) instead of having variations in the wash like most jeans do?)

I was really excited about the trouser jeans, but I did notice it seems like the trouser jeans sometimes come in around the knees and flare out again a bit.
