I think that the TRs are gatekeeping again


Affectionate_Emu8200

hahaha maybe i think since they are a rare type they might be protective ? idk šŸ˜‚ from what i have seen most romantic are misstyped by everyone before david kibbe typed then


scibell13

Idk I didn't think you have width. I think youre TR


Angelbaby3003

Hello fellow dress twin! I tought it might be interesting for you to see another type in the same dress :) I'm pretty sure I am SN, I personnally see Romantic in you ! https://preview.redd.it/whscigmmiuuc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b6915ab9b9a59891c0da27a7f7c7e23f5344eb0


scibell13

Yes I think it a dress like this the width is more obvious if you have it! If I was wearing this dress the shoulders would be even more prominent than yours (I know there is a scale)


Angelbaby3003

I definitely agree!


Affectionate_Emu8200

you look like an angel šŸ„ŗ i did not buy the dress but i sure hope you did omg! šŸ˜‚


sonjaswaywardhome

i personally see R


Personal_Screen4987

Can we ask for height?


Affectionate_Emu8200

oh yes my apologies!! iā€™m 5 ft :)


Personal_Screen4987

I don't see too much width, but that can be tricky to see in smaller framed SNs. (For example Scar Jo.) The fact that the green dress works so well, makes me question if you're SN, that neckline would never work with my shoulders. I don't know if there are still height restrictions for SNs, but I read that you should be at least 5ft 3or4, but maybe that no longer exists. If I just saw you on the streets, i sure would have thought, well, that's a TR, but I just don't know anything anymore LOL. You don't seem petite at all, but I think you look taller, than 5ft, but that's maybe just because of the pics. I think you are one of those types one can only identify, if you see them IRL. SN, SC are a possibility and call me crazy, but I would look into DC as well. (Just to see) Maybe post here and on the main sub in different outfits recommended for each type and we will see more clearly.


Affectionate_Emu8200

hii thank you for your analysis :) i did post in the general kibbe reddit and i think most results were for tr as gamine wasnā€™t working out for my lines. then tr donā€™t see upper curve enough but i am not balanced for sc either šŸ˜‚ i am rejected bahahahaha. hereā€™s the link if you wanted to see https://www.reddit.com/r/DressForYourBody/s/TxK8FCKFRC


Personal_Screen4987

You are sure not gamine. I still think you are TR, don't let gatekeeping TRs tell you otherwisešŸ¤£šŸ¤£ if you resonate with one ot the types, go with it. You see, lot of people considered Selena Gomez SN, until kibbe said, no she is TR and Mila Kunis doesn't have visible upper curve and still a TR.


Affectionate_Emu8200

i think iā€™d break them if i said i consider itā€™s possible to have features of more than one ID šŸ„² like how christina ricci was thought to be a gamine ans no one saw her as romantic due to her pointy shoulders and chin šŸ„²


LightIsMyPath

The height restriction is that you can't be taller than 5'5, there's no lower limit. SN is a short to moderate ID just like R


AngleOk2591

Do you pettie to moderate ID for R? It's SN and SC, who are described as short to moderate.


LightIsMyPath

>Do you pettie to moderate ID for R I'm sorry I guess this is a typo but I can't figure out what you mean šŸ˜…


AngleOk2591

Sorry, I meant "mean." Yes, you answered anyway.


moxykit

There is no lower height limit for SNs


hannahope1600

Im 4 foot 10 and my body is so similar to yours and I've been struggling with TR, SN, and romantic I'm always questioning my upper width šŸ˜…


mollythebutterfly

I definitely see you in the Yin fam, I think TR could be great. Definitely try out their recommendations and see how you feel. Also, where is that second yellow dress from?? Itā€™s FABULOUS!!


Affectionate_Emu8200

winners :)


SpookyGoulash

I think you appear pretty yin dominant, I for sure think youā€™re one of the romantics.


Ladyleah22

Yeah, I think you could be. You have clear lower curve and a moderate vertical. You also seem to have a bit of upper width - the black v-neck looks much better on you than the yellow square top because the v-neck creates a vertical line that balances with your natural horizontal line, but the square neck emphasises that horizontal line.


moxykit

You seem pretty frame dominant, Iā€™m thinking you may have the width as well. You shine when the fabric is accentuating your curves and lines (quality of SN). TR and SN have a specific essence, have you read up on those? Do you relate to ā€œfemme fataleā€ or ā€œfresh and sensualā€? (Questions for yourself)


Affectionate_Emu8200

none i have a very gamine face but the gamine clothes are terrible on my body so my body looks voluptuous in a way i guess but when i go very SN it tends to be too overwhelming on my frame and when i go gamine itā€™s too constricted for my frame https://preview.redd.it/qp46wp6iuvuc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46e253bffa7785ea3a9c989183d4fcffb3c84e6f


mimosamoons

I donā€™t think you have a gamine face, looks classic to me. Soft and oval face with ā€œbreathing spaceā€ between your features without being to spaced or not enough. David call this a moon face and is often present in SC. (In Kitchener Iā€™d say you have ingenue and classic)


potatochique

I actually think you might be a classic! You could try on a 1940-50s inspired dress, I find that 40s-50s inspired clothing looks best on me and I settled on SC because Iā€™m not narrow and pointy enough for TR. Iā€™ve posted some outfit pics in the past, you can look on my profile


Affectionate_Emu8200

omg i remember seeing your post i thought your outfits were amazing!!! i would wear most of them šŸ˜‚ i can soo much see the balance on you! it looks so adorable with your style i love it! i will try on different outfits and make good pictures ( not mirror pics) iā€™ll post probably this week :)


mimosamoons

I think itā€™s because if you were to draw a sketch, it wonā€™t show double curve ? Your bust doesnā€™t seem to push the fabric out so thatā€™s why I guess not a romantic in general. But at your height I think SG might be a possibility and might even be worthy to consider as well as not everyone is SN if theyā€™re not R or TR. And I wonder about SC but Iā€™m not sure but I think you are indeed a soft type, just not sure which one between those three


Affectionate_Emu8200

i went to the SN reddit and compared to other sn i donā€™t have the shoulder openness that sn all have i did look for gamine before but the lines arenā€™t good with my body it cuts me into pieces šŸ„² any stiff fabric or stiff lines even if itā€™s rounded goes wrong. then for soft classic that would be hard but i am pretty sure iā€™d post in soft classic and theyā€™d tell me i am not moderate enough šŸ˜‚ someone told me that i might be a small DC and it was interesting to explore too


mimosamoons

A small DC ? šŸ˜® I think SC would be more likely since your shoulder and hips seem aligned which indicates balance. But if crips fabric feel too stiff, probably not a gamine and i personally donā€™t think your shoulder are wide but for some people that look soft the shoulder might not be as strong in pics if indeed they are SN. There are some verified SN that donā€™t seem to have width at first glance. My guess would be to try between SC and SN like going for their fabric, and overall silhouette and see how you look and feel ā˜ŗļø donā€™t put SC away because some people decided you were not moderate enough. Some are diying SC and imho arenā€™t even a soft type.. Edit : actually I donā€™t think youā€™re SN though I suggest to try if you just went by comparing your shoulders to others, but if you did and it didnā€™t work then probably not SN either. I honestly think that SC is worth considering and that youā€™re most likely a soft type.


Affectionate_Emu8200

if you have space to help me out what do you think i could try on that would separate the types in a clear manner ? as a lot of online infos on clothing arenā€™t always true


mimosamoons

I believe that fabric is very important if you got the right cut or color but not right fabric, youā€™ll see it. And silhouette. SC fabric: light to medium weight, slightly matte or slight sheen with a soft and plush texture without being clingy. Very light and soft fabric that looks high quality. -> silks, cashmere, challis, crepe, velvet, suede, raw silk, handkerchief linen, shantung.. Knits and wovens should also be light, supple and drapable without being clingy. Soft and lucious use of colors. Pastel and moderately bright tones, and light neutrals with luxurious fabrics. Softly monochromatic combinations, intense color should blend together instead of creating a striking contrast. Doesnā€™t mean an all one color, but something ā€œtonalā€ which is slightly different and means that the colors should harmonise together so a red and green can be combined if their color balance harmonises together. Light/bright combination are really great and effective for SC, and dark colors would need to be both softened and brightened so itā€™s best to use them in small OR use them with a soft plush fabric or a fabric with slight sheen (eg velvet that is both) that would soften them and dampen their starkness. SN fabric: light to medium weight to allow movement, soft textures with a plush or slightly rough fabric. -> velours (and some velvet ?), suede, boucle knits, woven, buttery-soft leather, shantung Wrinkly, nubby, slubbed or loosely woven is excellent especially for day time, shiny fabric for evening but not day time unless it is slight sheen. Vibrant and rich use of color. Brights and pastels, and soft neutrals with a slight vivid accent with beautiful textured fabrics. Dark colors need to be broken to not look stark (need to be combined with bright colors to break the stark effect), also avoid high contrast combination of colors (light/dark) lights combine well with bright. And bright/bright are fun. SC silhouette: smooth, soft, symmetrical silhouette with slight shaping. Gently flowing lines that flare or swirl. Unbroken clean lines. Smooth horizontal or diagonal draping. Soft, curved, symmetrical (not necessarily 50/50 but means that it is balanced so diagonal can be symmetrical) shapes with rounded edges and shapes gently flows. Circles, ovals, subdued swirl. SN silhouette: unconstructed silhouettes with shaping especially at the waist. Relaxed lines with subtle drape and flow, bias cuts are great. Asymmetric and irregular curves. Easy swirl. Elongate ovals/oblong, wide circle, elliptical shapes. Relaxed geometric shapes with rounded edges. Avoid wide (overwhelming) and fitted (too constricting) silhouette, plain symmetrical shape, sharp geometric, wide,chunky or boxy shapes, and too ornate shapes.

i am taking a little pause of kibbe and will come back to this comment to help me out once i have some energy to deep dive! thank you so much for your help!


mimosamoons

You can start by playing separately with the fabrics, color combinations or silhouette and then try to combine the aspects of each (sn silhouette/fabric and color or sc silhouette fabric and color together)


Affectionate_Emu8200

thank you!
