The Kibbe Body Type Test with Pictures
Whether you’re on a deep dive into the Kibbe system to figure out your type, or the kibbe body typing system has mildly piqued your interest, I have some good news for you.
This kibbe body test with pictures will make it much easier. Now, it’s still going to take some effort on your part. So before we begin let’s go over what you need to make this test successful.
First, you need to know what you are testing for….

What is the kibbe body type system?
The Kibbe body type system is a body shape system that was developed by David Kibbe in the 1980s and focused on five main categories: Dramatic, Classic, Natural, Gamine, and Romantic. It evaluates the balance of your yang (sharp, angular) and yin (soft, rounded) features.
If this sounds new to you, then start here, with the 10 kibbe body types and their distinct elements. And I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot of information to digest, so take your time, pin the post, and refer back to it.
Kibbe “body types” –> Kibbe Image Identities
Technically these are not body types but image identities. I refer to them as body types because that’s the general term the internet has adopted. But it is more than just a fruit typing system and does not depend on measurements. Instead, it is about finding your own yin/yang balance and achieving a metamorphosis into the person you know you can be! Your best clothes, for your truest self.
Luckily, David Kibbe is writing a new book which will be released in January 2025 and I can’t wait to read it!
What do I need to figure out my kibbe body type?
I compiled this quiz (based on the original by David Kibbe), but it is not a mathematical formula. And David Kibbe has now said not to use a quiz to figure out your type and the only way to be “properly id’ed” is to book an in-person consultation with him. Well…. that’s not always a possibility, let’s be honest. And I do think the kibbe test works for some or at least can help you narrow down your type.
Kibbe Type Test Preparations
- Take a full-length picture of yourself(wearing underwear or a swimsuit (sans pattern)). This photo should be taken at about chest height to give you best the angle and easily discernible shape. This needs to be a full-length photo. While you can enlist a friend or family member to help you with this, you can also use your phone’s nifty self timer function to do this yourself. And if you don’t have a small tripod, then stack a few books on your counter to get your phone to chest level. It may take a few tries, but can be done. Just make sure your phone is at a 90-degree angle to the floor and not tilted! (see below image). Also, be sure to use the rear facing camera.
- A pen and paper to write down your responses. As we have discussed this is not a “general” quiz and you need to be exact about your responses. We will discuss how to record your responses shortly.
- A straight-on (non-selfie) face photo. Selfies and front-facing cameras can distort the lines of your face. So again, you will need to prop your phone up in line with your face (not lower or higher) and get a natural, face shot. Take a few photos, some smiling, and some neutral so you have some options.
- Release any bias (as best you can). Do not go into this test hoping for a specific type. Not only does that go against the main principles of the kibbe system, which is about embracing your unique qualities, but it will only lead to frustrations long term. You may need to re-think some of your answers, or even ask a friend to help you choose an answer as they may be able to evaluate your body from an outside perspective.
- Accept that this is not definitive and that the type you answer may need some tweaking. There are a lot of “kibbe experts” out there and there is a lot of misinformation. So, take the data you gain from the quiz, evaluate it, try out the suggestions, and then tweak it as necessary.
How do I take a photo for the kibbe test?
- Do not wear an overly confining sports bra or a padded bra. Aim for a lightly lined, semi-supportive bra that doesn’t tweak the shape of your chest.
- Stand naturally with your shoulders back and head up.
- Use a rear-facing camera if you are using your phone.
- Keep the phone or camera at a 90 degree angle from the floor, so no tilting!
- Make sure you get a full head-to-toe shot
What will the kibbe test even look at?
The kibbe body test will be examining four main components of your body which are:
- Skeleton (bone structure)
- Body Flesh (how you flesh sits on your bones)
- Facial Bones/Structure
- Facial Flesh
There will be 15 questions that analyze different parts of your body and face and you will refer to the pictures you just took and compare them to the pictures in the test to choose the best answer.
And the answers will try to decipher your balance of yin (soft, rounded), and yang (angular, sharp).
Now, before you start tweaking your answers, know that all types have absolute bombshells within them. And this test is about embracing your body and not covering flaws. It is about embracing a style that enhances your essence. So whether you are a supermodel dramatic, or a Marilyn romantic, answer these questions for what you are, and not what you wish you could be.
Recording your answers:
Now, you may need some help deciphering your kibbe Id after you’ve taken this quiz. And generalities won’t cut it. And while my inbox and comment section is open to help you determine your type, it needs to be done with the correct data. So please record your answers as follows (this will also help you if you need some assistance down the line with typing issues).
Each section of the quiz has an overarching area we are looking at to decipher the answers. After each section record the question number and your answer.
Bone Structure/Skeleton: 1B 2C 3B
Or if you want to leave a comment with your answers for more guidance, then I suggest doing it as follows:
Bone Structure
- B
- C
- B
etc…
And also, please include your height! It helps to get a better visual and further narrow down your results.
NOTE: Comments are held for “moderation” so that we avoid any spammers. So, if you submit a comment and don’t see it right away, that is why. I try to answer any comments within a few days.
Important notes before you take the kibbe body test:
While the pictures and examples may help most people, for others they may confuse you more. So pay attention to both the written answers and explanations if you are stuck.
The example pictures were carefully chosen but it is impossible to get the exact same angle for every picture. Use the lines and annotations on the picture to help you see the scale and distinction between each answer.
Depending on the detail of each question and how hard it is to discern you may see one main image for the question, or individual sets of pictures for each answer.
Kibbe Body Test with Pictures
Part 1: Bone Structure/ Skeleton
In this section, we will be looking at your skeletal structure which directly relates to how clothes hang on your body. And this is one of the most important aspects of the kibbe body type system.
We are not only looking at the shape of your bones but also their length and proportions.
1. How long is your vertical line?
Remember when we talked about patience with this test? Well, it’s because a lot of these questions will need clarification. Because you can’t possibly answer how long your vertical line is without knowing exactly what your vertical line is defined as.
Your vertical line can most simply be described as how tall you appear. In reality, it is not actually how tall you are, but rather your height in relation to your horizontal lines.
So for instance, you can have two people with the same height where one actually appears taller (when standing on their own).
Let’s look at the example below:
Both Megan Fox and Florence Pugh are 5ft 4 inches tall. Who looks taller? If you’re having trouble deciphering, cover up one of the women with your hand and then compare them as individual photos. Megan Fox clearly looks taller.
If you have your sketch handy you can look at the space between your shoulders and your knees to evaluate your own vertical line.
My vertical line is:
A. Long ( I look taller than I actually am)
B. Moderately long ( I look slightly taller than I actually am, but not by much)
C. Moderate ( I look to be my actual height)
D. Smallish ( I look slightly shorter than my height)
E. Petite ( It is very obvious that I am small in stature)
Note: Kibbe has evolved his definition of the vertical line to be the space from your shoulders to your knees and how visually prominent it is.
If you’re struggling with this question, ask someone to guess your height from a photo and see how close they are.
2. What is the shape of your shoulders?
When evaluating your shoulder shape make sure you have good posture!
My shoulders are:
A. Narrow, Sharp –
These shoulders are angular and sharp. They have no curve or bluntness to them and form a sharp right angle. Notice in the image how little space there is when the right-angle lines are drawn over their shoulders. But despite their angular shape, they also appear narrow or dainty. There is no prominent horizontal line on their shoulders.
Note the right angle lines on top of the example images and how sharp that shoulder transition is.
B. Blunt, Broad:
These shoulders are often blunt and somewhat broad. They command the same attention that sharp shoulders have, but they tend to have a softer edge and transition. You can see this easily by comparing the right-angle lines from answer A to answer B. B has a much blunter transition. Angelina Jolie is a great example of this. You’ll notice how much space there is on the right-angle lines, and how prominent their horizontal lines are in the image.
C. Even :
These shoulders are moderate or “even”. They have a balanced yin and yang that has no discernible dominant attribute. If you can’t identify your shoulder shape, this may be it.
D. Sloped, tapered
Sloped shoulders have a smooth curve from the neck to the shoulder. Because of this, they appear softer and less broad. But they can have some sharpness in the shoulder-to-arm transition. These shoulders still feel narrow and somewhat delicate.
E. Sloped, rounded
The sloped, rounded shoulders are soft and round. They are opposite of the A shoulders (sharp and narrow). No matter your weight, there is a curve-to-the-shoulder transition.
3. How long are your arms and legs, and what shape are they?
When evaluating the length of your arms and legs you want to compare them to the length of your torso. This does not involve actually measuring your arms and legs in inches. And it is not dependent on your actual height.
It is possible to be tall and have short arms and legs proportionally speaking, and vice versa.
You will want to refer to the photo you took (taken at chest height) or take a new photo to get an accurate answer.
Also when looking at the answers, note the horizontal lines that show where the fingertips end and can be used to more clearly see where they hit in relation to the knee.
A. Elongated, narrow
Your arms and legs are long and narrow. In regards to your skeleton (not the flesh), you have delicate, thin elbows, wrists, and ankles. Your fingertips will reach further than halfway down your thighs.
B. Elongated, broad
Your arms and legs are still super long, but they have a broad quality to them. You don’t have thin or super-defined ankles, wrists, and joints. But your fingertips will reach about halfway down your thighs.
C. Moderate, evenly proportionate to your torso and height
You have proportionate arms and legs compared to your torso and your fingertips hit just about halfway down your thigh. Your body doesn’t feel overly broad or dainty.
D. Small, somewhat short
Your arms and legs are slightly shorter compared to your full body. Your fingertips don’t reach halfway down your thigh. Your legs don’t feel long (especially in flats).
E. Small, very short proportionally to height and torso
You give the appearance of being short even if you are not. Compared to your torso, your arms and legs are shorter and your fingertips hit above your mid-thigh, probably close to the bottom of your butt.
4. What are the size and general shape of your hands and feet?
My hands and feet are:
A. Long and narrow
Both the palms and fingers are long, and they will feel larger in comparison to your face
B. Large and broad
These hands are also big in comparison to the face, but they have more width to them. (wider than answer A)
C. Moderate, neither large nor small
These hands seem proportionate to the face, and they are usually identified by what they are not. They are not large, and they are not small.
D. Small, narrow, delicate
These hands have a delicate quality to them and they are smaller compared to the face. They have more length than width to them.
E. Small, slightly wide
These hands are small compared to the face, but they have more width than answer D. They do not feel delicate because of the width.
Having trouble identifying this? Take your own picture of your hand next to your face and compare! Make sure you use your rear-facing camera (no selfies!) and that your camera lens is in line with your face (not tilted)
Here’s mine:
And if you’re wondering how to tell if your hands are broad, it can help to look at how far the bones on the base of your hands stick out compared to your wrist and fingers. As you can see for my face proportions, I have long and broad hands.
Part 2: Body Flesh
In this part of the kibbe body test, we will be examining how your flesh lays on your body. It is important to note that when we discuss flesh we are not discussing weight or “fat”. But rather how your skin looks over your muscles and bones.
A great example of this is Gigi Hadid, who despite being very thin has a round face with full cheeks. Similarly, one could be curvier with sharp cheekbones.
This part of the test will also examine how your bust, waist, and hips (with flesh) compare to one another.
Remember the kibbe test is all about the balance between yin ( soft, rounded) and yang (sharp, angled). You will need to pay attention to the subtlety of your flesh and you’ll need your photo handy!
5. What is the overall shape of your body?
The black lines should help you compare the hips, waist, and shoulders more easily.
A. Long and lean
This body type has no defined curves and a waist that is straight. Your hips are narrow and your bust is probably average or small. There is little definition for this shape, and it still appears narrow.
B. Broad and tends to have a muscular look
The most prominent trait of this body shape is broadness. There is barely any definition between the shoulders, waist, and hip area. If this body type is overweight they appear more stocky. They don’t usually have a pronounced chest.
C. Moderate, proportionate
This body type is symmetrical and only subtly defined. There is some definition of the waist (but not like an hourglass), and your shoulders and hips are about even. This is the “not curvy” “not straight” body type.
D. Shapely, soft hourglass (not extremely defined)
This body type has a defined waist but is not considered voluptuous. They have a defined waist and rounded hips and bust, but they have angular aspects to their shoulders. When they gain weight they tend to look curvier. Their frame makes them lean towards hourglass, but they don’t have the extra flesh on their bust and hips to categorize them as lush.
E. Rounded edges, lush, clearly defined hourglass shape
For this body type, you have a clearly defined hourglass shape and all your attributes are rounded. You have a defined waist and pronounced bust and hip that still feel soft because of the rounded edges to your body. If you’re thin, you still have rounded edges and won’t have angular shoulders or hips.
6. What is the shape of your bust/upper torso?
When discussing your bust line it is about the overall shape of your chest and the flesh around it (upper back flesh, and side flesh). What outline does it create? The cup size is irrelevant and should not be considered a defining characteristic. Just because you have a larger chest does not mean you have “yin”.
However, because your weight gain/loss can affect your bust line, please read the descriptions carefully to see which answer you best fit into.
A. Flat, taut, small
Even when you gain weight, your bust stays the same. Very flat, and little definition to this bust for answer A. (remember bustline, not chest size!!)
B. Wide and broad, but still small
This bust-line tends to be flat, not full, and smaller in size. Similar to answer A but with a broader width. You have no perceivable cleavage, even when gaining weight.
C. Moderate, even
This bust-line is not full but not flat. Weight gains can accumulate in the bust in this body type. The bust is round and semi-full ( a handful), but doesn’t have cleavage lines.
D. Curved and Shapely, full
You have a prominent bustline and your chest is fairly round. You will have some cleavage at the top and if you gain weight your chest will most likely get bigger. However, you are still moderate in terms of bust size. Your bust is more prominent than your waist.
E. Prominent, Busty
Whether you are thin or heavy you have a prominent bust line that has a very discernible cleavage line and shape. You have a larger bust that requires more support and can’t go without a bra.
7. What is the shape of your waistline?
A. Elongated, “boyishly tapered” ( weight gain will not change this)
This waist is long and straight but not broad. It tends to have a boyish figure because the waist isn’t defined in comparison to the bust and hips. Even if you gain weight you still have little to no curves.
B. Elongated, but broad
This waistline feels long in comparison to the rest of the body with little definition. However instead of “boyishly tapered” this waistline feels broad and not as petite as answer A.
C. Moderate, slightly defined
If you are having trouble deciding where you fit in terms of waistline, you could be moderate. This means you have some waist definition and it feels directly proportionate to your bust, shoulders, and hips. It isn’t overly straight, elongated, or defined. A gentle slope inwards at the waist.
D. Very small but in proportion to my bust and hips
This waistline is clearly defined but not very round. It will have sharper edges that angle inwards to clearly highlight the petiteness of the waist (in comparison to the bust and hips)
E. Slightly defined, but still broad and has a round quality
This waistline is gently defined but doesn’t have any sharp angles. It has rounded edges and because of this can feel wider than answer D.
8. What is the overall shape of your hips?
(Remember this is in relation to the rest of your body)
A. Straight, narrow, tapered
Your hips don’t have any definition and feel narrow. If you gain weight it can collect in your hips, but they won’t feel any more “defined”
B. Fairly straight, slightly tapers in, but also slightly wide
Your hipline is straight and feels wide. If you gain weight it will probably collect here.
C. Moderate, in comparison to bust and hips
Your hips are moderate and balanced compared to your bust and waist. If you have trouble identifying the shape of your you are most likely moderate. You can have hips dip with this hip shape.
D. Rounded and shapely, more pronounced than waistline
No matter your weight you have pronounced hips. This type has some softness to its shape and feels larger in comparison to your waist.
E. Extremely soft and rounded
You have rounded hips that appear fleshy and soft no matter if you gain or lose weight. They create a soft S shape from your waist to your hips.
9. How would you describe the flesh on your upper arms and thighs?
I can describe my upper arm and thigh flesh as:
A. Long, slender, lean for your weight ( if thin there will be no flesh to pinch if heavier you may have some flesh but it will be minimal for your weight)
B. Elongated; looks muscular. There is little flesh to pinch if any.
C. Moderate: You fall somewhere in the middle. You might be able to pinch some flesh on your upper arms or thighs, but not much and it doesn’t feel lean or fleshy for your size.
D. Soft, but some definition, slightly shorter in proportion: You will have some fleshiness and softness to your upper thighs and upper arms, but your arms will still have some definition to their shape.
E. Very soft, slightly wide, fleshy: Your upper arms and thighs feel fleshy and soft. They may appear wider because of this and you can probably pinch a fair amount of skin despite your weight.
Part 3: Facial Features
For this section, we will be examining your facial features. For the easiest and most accurate photos, I suggest taking a non-selfie photo with little to no makeup on. Make sure you have good light and no strong shadows.
We will examine the shape of each of the features of your face, both their structure and how the flesh lays on it.
10. My jawline is:
A. Sharp; either very pointed or angular and square
You have strong angles to your jawline and there is no bluntness present. The green lines indicate how sharp the transitions from the jawbone to the jaw, to the chin are.
B. Blunt and slightly wide, can feel broad
They have a squareness and broad quality to their jaw. They can have the same strong lines as answer A but they have bluntness to their edges. They have a yang dominance (like answer A) but with a little yin, especially around the chin and back jawbone.
C.Moderate; neither wide, sharp nor distinctly round
You have both some sharpness and some roundness but neither is dominant. If you’re really struggling to see your jawline shape in any of the other answers, this may be you.
D. Delicate, tapered/sloped, slightly narrow
The key defining aspect of this jawline is narrowness. They can have some sharpness (yang) to them but are predominantly yin because of their sloped shape and narrowness.
E. Rounded, softly broad
You have no sharp angles to your jaw and there is softness with each transition (from jaw to chin, and jaw to ear). Because of the roundness, it can appear broader than answer D.
NOTE: Please remember that these reference images have been chosen to best accurately reflect the traits for each answer. However, celebrities often use contours or have plastic surgery to adjust their facial features. So compare your types to celebrity pictures with caution.
11. What is the shape of my nose?
My nose is:
A. Sharp or prominent
Your nose has strong angles, it can be large but is not broad. It usually has a “long” feel to it because of the sharp, narrow qualities.
B. Broad or Blunt, can be on the larger side
You have a broader nose that has a wide, flatter bridge. Your nose can be prominent or large but is softer and wider than answer A.
C. Moderate
Your nose can be described as in the middle. It’s not large or small or very rounded or sharp.
D. Delicate, tapered, narrow
This nose feels small and delicate. It does not have visual width. And can feel slightly small on the face.
E. Rounded or softly wide
You have a rounded nose and a rounded bridge (unlike answer B that has a flatter, broader bridge). This creates a soft width in your nose. This nose does not feel large on the face.
12. What is the shape of your cheekbones?
For this question, we are looking at the shape of the actual bones (not the flesh). Referring back to your photo should help you see the shape, but you can also feel your cheekbones to see how prominent they are compared to your cheeks and how rounded or sharp they feel.
A. High and Prominent
B. Wide, blunt
C. Moderate
D. Delicate, narrow, with slightly rounded edges
E. Rounded, full, soft
13. What is the shape of your eyes?
A. Narrow, straight, closely spaced
B. Narrow, straight, widely spaced
C. Evenly Spaced, Moderate Size
D. Rounded or upturned, slightly close together
E. Very round and very large
14. What is the shape of your lips?
My lips are:
A. Straight, narrow
These lips might be considered “thin” even when I’m not smiling.
B. Straight, strong broad
These lips are wide but not full.
C. Moderate
These lips have some shape so they are not straight but they are not very full.
D. Slightly full and has some roundness
These lips have some shape and fullness to them, and soft rounded edges to them. Often a fuller bottom lip, and average top lip.
E. Very full and very rounded
These lips are usually full on the top and bottom and could be considered “pillowy” lips. They have round edges.
For this answer, you need to look at your lips when they are in a neutral (not-smiling) position. You should also avoid comparing your lips to societal standards to get an accurate answer. Right now, larger lips are very trendy so our own perception of “medium” or “large” lips may be biased or inaccurate.
15. How would you describe the flesh on your cheekbones?
You might be thinking, wait! Didn’t I already ask this? But how much flesh you have on top of your cheekbones can alter how prominent they are and the overall shape of your face. For this question look at a picture of you smiling to see how much volume your flesh creates. You can also smile and feel your cheekbones and see how much flesh you can pinch.
A. Flat, taught (even when overweight)
B. Fairly tight or muscular; can get puffier if you put on weight
C. Moderate; can be gently soft
D. Soft and fleshy, if you gain weight your cheeks seem to get even fuller
E. Very round and fleshy ( no matter weight fluctuations)
Kibbe Body Test: Answers Explained
To properly score your test look at the majority of the answers for each section. It is possible to have some outlier answers and still see what kibbe Id category you fit into. Also, be sure to look at the charts to see where your ID fits in with contrast and yin/yang balance.
Majority A answers- Dramatic
If you got mostly A answers for all three sections then you’re a pure Dramatic (D). This ID has a yang dominance and is long, lean, and angular.
If you have predominantly A answers with a few E or D answers then you’re a Soft Dramatic (SD). Your E and D answers are probably in the flesh and facial features categories. Your body and face are yang dominant and angular, but you have may have some yin, and softness to the flesh on your bone structure, or your facial features.
Soft Dramatic Style Guide, Here.
Majority B answers- Natural
If you have predominantly B answers under all three sections then you are a kibbe pure Natural (N). Your bone structure, facial features, and flesh are all elongated, broad, and blunt in comparison to one another. Your body has a yang dominance but is not as extreme and angular as the dramatic kibbe ID.
If you have mostly B answers with a few A answers then you are Kibbe’s Flamboyant Natural (FN). Your bone structure is long and lean but your flesh and facial features have a broad and blunt look to them.
Flamboyant Natural Style Guide, Here.
If you have predominantly B answers with a few D or E answers then you are considered a Soft Natural (SN). Your bone structure will be broad, slightly blunt, and overall elongated. But your flesh and face lean more towards the yin side and have a softness to them.
Soft Natural Style Guide, Here.
Majority C Answers- Classic
If you have predominantly C answers under all three sections (bone structure, flesh, and facial features) then you are a pure Classic (C ). Your features are blended and very balanced. For more information on blend versus contrast, check the kibbe Id system here.
If you have predominantly C in the body flesh and facial features sections with a few A or B answers for bone structure, then you are a Dramatic Classic (DC). You have very proportionate, even faces and flesh, but your bone structure has some yang dominance.
Dramatic Classic Style Guide, Here.
If you have predominantly C answers for the bone structure/skeleton section but have several D or E answers under body flesh and/or facial features, then you are a kibbe Soft Classic (SC). Your bone structure is very balanced and proportionate but you have some softness and yin to your face and flesh.
Soft Classic Style Guide, Here.
Mostly D or E Answers- Romantic
If you have predominantly E answers under all three sections then you are a Kibbe pure Romantic ( R ). Your skeleton, flesh, and face all have yin dominance that exhibits softness, and rounded edges, also known as lush yin. [kibbe body types explained]
If you have predominately D answers, you are a Theatrical Romantic (TR). Your bone structure, flesh, and face all lean towards the yin side of the spectrum, but not as strictly as the pure Romantics.
You can also be a theatrical romantic if you have predominantly E or D answers with a few A answers. Your A answers will mostly show up in the bone structure or facial features but you will maintain softness in your flesh and shape.
Think you’re a Theatrical Romantic? I have a FULL theatrical style guide, here.
Mixture of A/B answers and D/E answers- Gamine
If you got a generally even mix of opposite answers A/B and D/E then your kibbe id is Gamine (G). You are a combination of yin and yang and can display these traits in different parts of your body, flesh, and face.
If your results have a mix of A/B and D/E answers but with slightly more A or B answers then your kibbe Id would be the Flamboyant Gamine (FG). Your individual features can be placed distinctly in the yin or yang category (not blended) but overall your body tends to have some angles and sharpness. Your body becomes toned easily which highlights your angular silhouette. No matter your weight fluctuations you never really have curves
If your results have a mixture of answers but you have more D/E answers than A/B then you are a kibbe Soft Gamine (SG). You have a mixture of yin and yang across all three sections- skeleton, flesh, and facial features. You could have a bit more roundness in your facial features. You probably get more round from weight gain and working out doesn’t overly define your muscles.
Still not clear?
Do you have more questions about your ID and what it means in terms of style?
Check out more details on each ID and their recommended style lines, here.
What are the benefits of knowing your Kibbe ID?
The kibbe body system is all about dressing to fit your body’s natural lines and working with your body instead of against it. It teaches you to style yourself in the most flattering silhouettes and why some silhouettes go against your natural lines.
I personally believe you can make almost all new fashion trends work for your kibbe ID by making small tweaks to the balance and emphasis of each look. However, if you’re struggling with style, your kibbe body type will give you some easy fashion wins.
Can your kibbe ID change?
According to David Kibbe himself, your ID cannot change. He recommends evaluating your body ID after you are 25. He has suggested this only because he believes that you should have fun with your style and use your kibbe id to find your “true style” when you’ve had fun with trends and are ready to mature into that style. However, you can be typed younger than 25.
However, if you’re asking my opinion I believe your ID can become clearer over time. You won’t go from being a dramatic to a romantic just because you had a kid. However, I think if you are confused about your ID, weight gain, age, and your overall perspective can help you narrow down your ID further.
And while it’s not a perfect system, I believe the information and understanding of your own body are tremendously helpful in your style evolution.
Sign up for my email list to be updated on all the new kibbe articles that will be coming over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be creating style guides for each type, a troubleshooting guide if you’re stuck, and even going through my own kibbe quiz answers and how to avoid getting tripped up.
Now, go be your best-dressed self!
It can take you a few times to get the most accurate ID. So pin the below image so this post is easy to reference!

Hi Mandy,
So based on your answers, I would guess you are a soft classic. While you don’t have prominent C answers, most of your answers fall into the C (b and e) range. However, depending on how accurate your answers are (it can be hard to tell on ourselves sometimes) you could also be a Soft Gamine or True Romantic. Here are your image answers altogether.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_XG2mSxmtEoYt6_J4l4RDy9ju7sArq9A/view?usp=sharing
In order to properly go through and determine which of the three options you are, I would either take the test again with a trusted friend to help you get an outside perspective or I would read up on the three options and see where you “gain” weight typically. Because for soft classic it is common to get a bit softer in the face and body.
Because you don’t have a lot of A/B answers I’m going to say soft gamine isn’t likely, but it is close to your spectrum, so that’s what I brought it up.
For Theatrical romantic, you do have a lot of D/E answers, but not a lot of A answers.
Take into consideration your height, where soft classics tend to have moderate height, usually above 5 ft 5 in. Theatrical romantics tend to be more petite under 5 ft 5 in. And because you said you have a moderate to tall vertical line, I went with soft classic.
Looking at your own photos, or posting them in the freely kibbe group (on facebook) are also great ways to get more concise answers. Hope this helps!

So it would be helpful to have your height. Because it sounds (and looks) like you have a moderately tall vertical line, with angular hands and toned arms, small bust but some curve to your hips. You could be a soft gamine (although your answers lean a bit curvier), or potentially a soft classic.
Here are all your answers together-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ajaQm7MRxBf-CHjcI4NLtAdES4tVNk2j/view?usp=sharing
make sure they fit. Because it’s rare to have a lush hourglass with a small bust.
@Gabrielle Arruda, my height is 5’7! And Thankyou so much for helping me
So because of your height, and the fact you have a lot of B and E answers, I would say you probably fit in the soft natural category. You have some vertical emphasis, but you also have some curve to your shape (especially around your hips) with toned arms/legs. And your facial features have some blutness to them (based on your answers). Ultimately, I would look at the style suggestions of the soft natural (or the natural family in general) and go from there! Hope this helps

Hi! This article is very helpful!
I think I’m a soft classic, my results were:

My height is 5’4.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Soft classic sounds like a very good fit! But you could also look at the theatrical romantic as well. Your height fits both and it sounds like you have the soft curves to your shape. I would look at the style lines for both types and evaluate which ones fit you best. Soft classics look best in clean, unbroken lines that have some waist definition. Fabrics that are not clingy but still show off their figure. Theatrical romantics on the other hand thrive in clingy fabrics, and flowy fabrics that drape over their body and that show off their shape. Both types work well when their waist is defined. Soft classics have a slightly more structured, symmetrical, and polished style. Whereas theatrical romantic can go a bit more feminine, and flirty.
But, you know your body best! So if you’re leaning towards soft classic, go with that first!
Hello!!
Alright…. So I’m a theatrical romantic for sure??? Does the see just mean I have balance in those areas??

So based on those scores, yes I’d say you are a theatrical romantic. While your scores could land you between theatrical romantic and true romantic, I would say the C answers are a bit of balance (and maybe even a little yang in comparison to your yin dominance).

If you need my height, it’s 165.1CM (approx. 5’5″).
Quickly, based on those results I would say you are probably a soft gamine (or possibly a gamine). I think you have some softness to your body, but you’re not overly vertical. And your facial features fit that of the gamine, large eyes, with contrast between your features not within them. You are on the upper height side of the gamine, which is why you can have a bit more flexibility with some of your chosen silhouettes. Hope this helps!
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you so much ! This really helps me a lot <3

So it would help to have your height, but based on these answers I would probably put you in the soft gamine category. I would check out the description and style line suggestions and see if you relate. Based on your answers you don’t have a long vertical line and you have some shape. That paired with your flesh and facial features, I landed on soft gamine. Reese Witherspoon is a “famous” soft gamine, as is Halle Berry. So remember, there are a lot of different ways gamines can show their yin and yang balance.

Hi Jennifer! Yes, I would say you are most likely a soft natural. You missed question 13, but generally based on your answers soft natural is a good fit. I would try those style lines and see how they work for you!
Hello, the height component is confusing me, I’d love some help. I am 179cm or ~5’11”. I’m mostly D and E but I saw Romantics can’t be tall.

So if we go off of Kibbe’s system, yes 5 ft 11 is too tall for the romantics. I would guess (without your height) that you were a theatrical romantic. But, With your height (according to kibbe) you would already be yang dominant so you would most likely fall into the flamboyant natural, soft dramatic, or dramatic categories.
I might re-do the quiz with a friend to flush out the answers a bit more. While your vertical line is not dependent on height alone, it would be rare to be 5 ft 11 and have a D answer for vertical line.
However, I personally don’t believe height should make or break identifying with a type. If you feel drawn to theatrical romantic style lines try them out and see how you like them.
It’s not always a straightforward path with the kibbe system, but just like any personal style, it takes some exploration and elimination.
Hi, I hope i still can get a reply, the height component is confusing me.. Please help me. I am 173 cm. And I don’t know how to summarize my answers :”

Thank you!
At your height you would have vertical which means your Image Identity could be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant natural. Based on your answers I would start with Flamboyant Natural.

Based on these answers I assumed I was a dramatic classic; however, I am 5’10 so I am too tall to be one. Help would be greatly appreciated!!
So if we are going off of kibbe, your height (basically anything above 5ft 9) would automatically suggest yang dominance and put you into one of three categories: Dramatic, soft dramatic, or flamboyant natural. You seem very balanced with a little bit of yin in your face and body. Have you considered soft dramatic? I have a guide on the soft dramatic https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
Height has been a frequent topic for kibbe lovers to discuss/debate. And while I do understand the merit of a vertical line and that at a certain height you do become more yang dominant, if you really love the style lines of the dramatic classic and those are working for you, I would continue to explore those.
Hi, Gabrielle! Thank you for this thorough and easy to understand introduction to the Kibbe types!
I’m fairly sure I’m a Theatrical Romantic, but I’d love to see what you think. Here are my answers! I’m about 5’10”, last I got measured. 🙂

So according to kibbe you are too tall to be a theatrical romantic. He basically believes that height automatically makes you more yang dominant even if you have some curves. At 5 ft 10 you would either be a dramatic, soft dramatic, or a flamboyant natural. So you answered that you feel like you look slightly shorter than you are, and I totally get that! But kibbe would probably say in-person your height is still prominent and it would still make you yang dominant. If you feel you are curvy- then the soft dramatic might be a good place to start – I have a guide on that here https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/.
Soft dramatics are curvy but tall.

So based on your results I would probably put you as a classic. Seems like you have a lot of balance between yin and yang and not enough curve to warrant a soft classic. You might be a gamine, but I would really need your height for this. You mention you feel like you look shorter than you are (answer 1) and that your arms and legs are shorter (answer 3). For a classic their height range is generally 5 ft 4 to 5ft 7. Whereas gamines are usually under 5 ft 5 (not always but generally). I would look at the style lines for both and see which ones fit you better.
Hi! I love this article. But I am confused about my answers since they seem to be a little everywhere and I don’t think I am a theatrical romantic since i am 5’9”/5’10”. I’d appreciate some help.
My answers are:
Bones –

So at 5ft 9/10 you would automatically (according to kibbe) have yang dominance, and would be placed in one of three categories- dramatic, soft dramatic, or flamboyant natural. Because you answered D for all of the flesh parts, a good way to investigate your type is through how you gain or hold weight. Because you have an hourglass shape, dramatic is out. They tend to gain weight in their hips/lower thigh region but that would create more of a pear shape. Flamboyant naturals tend to gain weight and become a bit stockier, which creates a lot of B answers- very straight. Now, based on your quiz answers I am leaning towards soft dramatic. I have a guide on that here https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/ which might help you try some of the style lines. However, the kibbe quiz is, in my opinion, a jumping off point. If you don’t feel like soft dramatic works, try posting your pics in the freely kibbe group- wonderfully supportive women! https://www.facebook.com/groups/579503045930246 (not my group)

You definitely have an interesting mix of answers, so remember that the quiz is really just a first step in identifying your kibbe type. I would say at 5ft 4 with a moderate vertical line and some broad qualities (answer 2, and the other B’s popping up in the face), i would say you are a soft natural. At your height you could go into the romantics, but it seems you have a bit too much yang for that overall. From your cheekbones, shoulders, height, nose, and lips they all lean towards yang. Soft naturals tend to hold their weight in the lower half of their bodies, which can give them a curvier appearance which could account for all the E answers in felsh. Alicia Keys, Katie Perry, and Kat dennings have all been typed as soft naturals. Hope this helps get you started!

Hi Annie! So, I want to preface that typing off the quiz is kind of an intial narrowing down. Based on your answers alone I would have typed you in the romantic family, probably a theatrical romantic. However, theatrical romantics are typically under 5 ft 5 inches. Now, in my opinion an inch probably* shouldn’t completely change your type. And here’s where kibbes system gets a little convoluted- for instance Kate Winslet (5ft 7) has been verified by Kibbe himself as Romantic. However, your bone answers with your height are giving me pause with your typing. Romantic familys don’t “appear tall” and the fact you have a moderate to tall vertical line (answer 1) and large hands/feet (naswer 4)- I would also explore the style lines of a soft dramatic. I have a guide on the soft dramatic- https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/. And you might think you don’t have the verticality for it, but based on your curviness and lush facial features, with your moderate to tall vertical line, I think it’s a possibility. https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
I compiled all your answers- you can see them below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P_K3jBMIVXbYOnX8caCIW-gcCndWur6v/view?usp=sharing

Hi. Hoping you can help me. Done the test, unsure about some answers.

Hi Oda! I appreciate all the info. While you do have some balance in your features, I think you are too petite to be a soft classic. Soft classics are usually more in the 5 ft 4 and 5ft 5 in range. And your bone structure leads me to believe you have some petite qualities. I would actually say you are a soft gamine. You have some curve in you bust line, but your waist and your body shape has a straighter silhouette. And you have straight hips, which would be in line with the gamine “boyish” figure- add in your bust then you get a soft gamine. Some famous kibbe verified soft gamines are brigitte bardot (a tall example), Judy garland, Halley berry, Winona rider, and Reese Witherspoon. As you can see their balance is all displayed in different ways. But I would try the soft gamine style lines and see how they fit. IF you don’t feel like it’s a match, I’d try the quiz again with a friend to help you narrow down the answers. Happy to help further!
And

This has been the most helpful visual/explanatory guidance for the quiz that I’ve seen so far! Thank you. I wondered if you might help me interpret my results?
FYI, I’m 5’3″, but have a long vertical. People usually guess 5’7″. I have a *very* short torso — so any excess weight, even a couple pounds, will show up there first. Not sure if the asymmetry in the proportions with the long limbs/very short torso impact all the C answers. Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Marissa, I’m so glad you found it helpful. So, Kibbe has a lot of theories on height and vertical lines, and it’s a super important detail that you look taller than you actually are. However, he also wants us to consider what you will look like in person, so some of the taller IDs like dramatic and natural probably wouldn’t fit you (despite you having a long vertical line). Sounds like you have long limbs (especially legs), and some petite or moderate bones (hands/feet, shoulders). This paired with a very balanced amount of flesh would lead me to a flamboyant gamine. Flamboyant gamines are defined by both yin and yang with an angular emphasis. While they aren’t overly tall, they have a physicality to them that makes them feel tall and “youthful”. They are usually lean and leggy. They also have larger eyes, which you marked in the facial section. When they gain weight they tend to get a bit stockier, which it sounds like you gain right in your midsection too, broadening out your balanced curves. I would start with those clothing lines and see how they work with you.
Hello,

Hi Marie! Based on your answers it sounds like you have a petite frame (hands/feet, sharp shoulders, moderate vertical line). At 164 cm I believe that would be around 5ft 4 in. And your flesh sounds like it’s fairly yin (curvy). So based on your answers, it is a little hard to give your a definitive answer. I view the quizzes as narrowing your ID types down, and then trying the style lines of potential IDs and going from there. I would say that you could be either a soft gamine or possibly a romantic. I say soft gamine because you do have some answers that leans towards yang and sharpness (like your shoulders and balanced vertical line, and some of your facial features). However, your yin-dominant flesh would make you either a soft gamine or a romantic. I would check out both of those types and see if you relate more to one. In order to narrow it down I might evaluate the following: Romantics tend to have a more petite feel to them- they don’t appear taller than they are and the first thing your eye is drawn to is their curve. Whereas the soft gamine has some angular features, think of it like an angular frame (like your sharp shoulders) covered with a soft flesh exterior. I would check out and try the style lines for each of these types and see which ones you gravitate towards more. Hope this helps! Feel free to follow up if you run into problems
Hello!
Not to turn this comment section into a broken record, but I am also having trouble with my results.
Bones were easiest for me to figure out:

Flesh seems to be all yang:

And my face was where I think I may have a weird mix going on:
10. E
11. D
12. C
13. A
14. A
15. B
I generally tend to think that I look short in pictures and my face looks rather “odd” (rounded/wide-ish jawline, narrow cheekbones but fleshy cheeks that make my jaw look even wider when I smile rather than going up on the apples of my cheeks, small almond eyes that are evenly spaced, and a nose that isn’t necessarily sharp but is definitely narrow and quite triangular from the side and also crooked from the front). I also wonder if my teeth have any effect on this. They’re quite small with the exception of my two front ones that are elongated and sharply rectangular. I feel that despite my soft and rounded jawline and fleshy cheeks, they add to the yang that my nose (and flat, sloped forehead) give to my face.
With the amount of As in here, I’m getting “dramatic.” But I just don’t think I’m tall enough for it to completely make sense! And when I look at soft dramatic examples, they don’t make sense to me either.
Edit: If it helps, I’m 5’4″ and 105 lbs. I have very long thigh bones and narrow/straight hips, but almost no space between my hips and ribs (thus a short, straight waist)
Hey Marisa! Thanks so much for the details and info! I would actually say based on your height, your answers, and your description that you fall into the gamine family. Since you are more straight I would guess true “gamine” as your id. Gamines typically look shorter than they are, have small hands/feet, and have a youthful energy to them. They can have angular faces, but a lot of kibbe examples also have some roundness to them in my opinion. Kibbe has typed Mia Farrow, Heather Locklear, Jean Seberg, and Paulette Goddard as true gamines. Gamines typically have a straight (almost “boyish” figure). If you feel you have more curve you could look into the flamboyant gamine or the soft gamine!

So it seems you have a lot of C’s in your answers which would initially lead one to guess “classic” because you have so much balance. However, based on your height and the facial features, with the broader qualities in answers 2 &3, I would look into soft natural. Your height fits- and soft naturals tend to have very soft yang with yin undercurrents. It seems like you have some yang qualities with your moderate vertical and your shoulders, arms, and legs, and larger hands/feet. Mixed with the balanced curves in flesh, I would guess soft natural is a good place to start. Some verified Kibbe soft naturals include- Heidi Klum (a tall example), Julianne Hough, katy Perry, kat dennings, and marissa tomei. Hope this narrows it down a bit. IF those style lines don’t fit, I would take the quiz again with a friend or photo for some help narrowing down answers. Here if you need any more help!
Dear Ms. Gabrielle,
Thank you for such a helpful version of the quiz with pictures! I have done similar quizzes before, in which I got dramatic classic. Yesterday, however, I finally took pictures of myself (camera sure added 10 lbs.) and still technically got dramatic classic.
However, since
1) my answers varied widely and had a strange distribution,
2) my height is 5’9.5″ (weight 152 lbs.; 38-30-38; short-torso; East Asian for facial features)
3) judging from the clothes I gravitate toward and the way I gain weight,
4) my body looks more similar to celebrity dramatic or natural examples,
I wonder if I’m soft dramatic vs. soft natural vs. dramatic classic.
Certainly, there’s a chance I’m not reading my photograph right…but until I’m bold enough to post online…
Quiz result:
C height, C shoulders, C joints, A hands
B body, E bust, B waist, B hip, C arm/thigh
A jaw, D nose, C cheekbone, C eyes, C lips, A cheeks
I would really appreciate any and all help. Thank you so much!

Hi May! Thanks for providing all this valuable information and context. So because you are 5 ft 9.5 in, Kibbe would automatically say that you have yang influence because of your height and how your vertical line will appear in person. At this height, you would be put into generally three IDs- dramatic, soft dramatic, or flamboyant natural. Because you have a larger bust, which adds curve/yin I would say pure dramatic is out. You have a lot of balance in your answers (which is probably why you are leaning towards classic). For flamboyant natural, they typically do not have a curvy bust or a visible “slight hourglass”. And they also don’t have delicate facial features ( your C and D answers in face). I would look into soft dramatic – they have the long limbs, the height, the longer hands/feet, and they have the curves. I have a guide on the soft dramatic here: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
If you have any other questions, let me know! And I hope this helps?
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you so much! You’re very helpful. Your website also looks nice and comprehensive. I’ll be checking out more of it! ??
Hi ! Thank you for this article !
I did the test a couple times with different people and I have trouble with my results, can you help me ?
I’m 1m79 tall (~5″10) and I weigh 70kg (~154 pounds)
Part 1: B, B, B, B
Part 2: C, C, C, B, A
Part 3: A, A, C, D, D, D
Thank you !
Hi Jade! Because of your height, Kibbe would automatically place in you one of three categories – The Dramatic, The Soft Dramatic, or the flamboyant natural. Now we can eliminate dramatic because it looks like you have some proportionate curve to your body. I would lean towards soft dramatic. But you can also check out flamboyant natural, if SD feels off. I lean towards SD because you have some very balanced flesh that (based on your answers) creates some gentle curves to your body. That paired with your facial features, creates some yin undercurrent. You also seem to have the emphasized facial features that Kibbe mentions with the Soft Dramatic.
Here are the two resources for these types:

Hi Amanda! I would agree. I think your answers lean towards a soft natural. Seems like you have a moderate vertical, with some yin fleshiness (bust, upper arms/thighs). And some blunt, balanced features in your face. I would try those style lines and see how you like them and go from there!

Hi Selena!
So for your mom: She is 5 ft 2 in, but has a moderate vertical line (meaning she looks her height). She sounds very balanced in her answers, but her shoulders and body shape are B answers, which are more blunt and broad in shape. This paired with the fleshiness of her upper arms and legs would lead me to believe she is a soft natural. While the natural family sometimes gets pegged as only a “tall” group, that’s not true. Shakira is an example of an (unverified) shorter soft natural. Your mom could also explore the soft classic, since she does have a lot of C answers, which is balance and symmetry. However, because the classic family is all about balance and moderation, the broader/rounded shoulders and body shape (and the 5ft 2 in height) lead me to lean towards the soft natural. Again, the quiz is just an initial way to narrow it down. ONe other method could be to look at how your mom gains weight. For the soft natural weight gain shows as Body tends to become extremely soft and fleshy, with the waist thickening. The upper arms, thighs, and hips tend to collect excess weight. Whereas the soft classic also becomes fleshy, and the waist can lose some definition, there is still a balance between your body.
Now for you Selena, I would lean towards the classic family, especially at 5ft 4 in with a moderate vertical. Pure classics are pretty rare- because they just require so much balance and symmetry. But, your answers are very balanced throughout your body. Your face has some softness throughout it, and some fuller features, that paired with your hip/waistline I would try checking out the soft classic ID first and go from there. Marion Cotillard and Naomi watts are some (unverified) soft classics, for initial reference.
@Gabrielle Arruda,
Hello, Gabrielle.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Just some follow up thoughts/questions if you don’t mind?
For my mom,I’m thinking she probably isn’t a Soft Natural,because her general body type is ‘straight up and down.’ Before taking the test my own guess would have been some kind of Gamine. Soft Classic is also possible,like you said.She does have wider shoulders,though. Narrow,straight hips. When looking at pictures of when she was younger,she was very delicate,petite looking.Very ‘pixie like’. The way she collects extra weight is most heavily on her mid section/abdomen.
I helped her take the test,the best I could/as she did for me,but I’m insecure on both of our answers,cause english isn’t our first language,and my mom is depending on me to translate accurately,wich I’m not as good as I would like.
Also,I’m sometimes confused by the terms in the Kibbe system,because they seem to mean different things sometimes than I would have thought of,if that makse sense. And on some words there isn’t an equivalent in our language. For example ‘wide’ and ‘broad’,translate to the same thing. Also the ‘flesh’ question is very difficult to answer.
I also thought I might be some type of Gamine,as well,even though I’m not as short/petite as some Gamines are. When looking at pictures of verified Gamine’s,especially face-wise they resemble my own the most.
We were unsure on my answer regarding the hips question,between B and D,they are really the only place in my body that can be considered wide. I’m not sure it they are straighter,or rounder. If I gain weight it collects mostly on my hips,and thighs. The hips get wider,and according to my mother,they look rounder if I have extra weight but not that round when i’m at a lower/normal weight.The question on the bustline was hard to answer as well. .
I’m sorry if this sounds like I’m rambling. If you have any thoughts on what I wrote here,I’d welcome them,but I understand if you don’t have the time.
Thank you.
The terms width and broad are not meant in comparison to other people but against your own proportions (and they get a negative connotation but they really shouldn’t!). It has to do with the bones underneath, not just the flesh. For instance, Marissa Tomei ( a soft natural) doesn’t seem like a wide person if you look at her photos, but she has a strong shoulder line which against her other proportions (bust, hips, waist) feels prominent.
Your mom’s answers in flesh are almost all C’s which are not straight up and down answers. And soft naturals can have a slightly smaller vertical line.
That being said the test is just a way to start looking at your body more critically and examining each part individually and as a whole. At 5ft 2, and straight up and down she could definitely be in the gamine family, so I would revise your mom’s flesh answers. She could look into the flamboyant gamine since she has a strong shoulder line and you said she tends to gain weight in her abdomen which usually gives a stockier or square appearance consistent with the FG weight patterns.
For you, at 5 ft 4, you can still be a gamine. But again, I would revise your answers or take photos to look at your bone structure and flesh answers, because all those C answers really don’t reflect gamines. C answers are very moderate and balanced, and gamines tend to be petite and straight with combo yin and yang features. Your facial feature answers work for the soft gamine, but I’m unsure if your weight patterns and actual bone structure would work for that.
When we think of the curve of the bust and hips, it’s from a front-only perspective. If there was a silhouette drawing of you, would your bust and hips pop out along the outline of your drawing, or would you look more square? Because you can have a bust that doesn’t give you actual curve lines when staring straight-on.
Ultimately, only you (and Kibbe) can officially type you. It sounds like you both have an idea in what ID’s you fall and I would put emphasis on that over any single test answer. I would suggest you start trying those ID’s style lines and see what works for you both. Photographing your outfits can immensely help you with this!
Best of luck! Let me know if you need anything else.
@Gabrielle Arruda,
Hi again,thank you for your thoughts. Some of our test answers are possibly inaccurate,because of my translating,and maybe a lack of understanding.
Flamboyant Gamine does seem very likely for my mom.
When I asked my mom what my body looks like when I’m at a heavier weight,she said it tends to get more round.And regarding my bone structure,according to her it is ‘between moderate and small’,and ‘leaning towards small,with softer edges’. I’ve always felt my bone structure had more sharper edges/feel. And according to her,when I’m at a normal weight,my legs and arms tend to look long,and slim.
I did lean towards Soft Gamine at one point,when reading about them. I was just unsure if my height would fit. I also feel that ‘pure’ Gamine could be a possibility. (Even though I’ve heard that Kibbe himself doesn’t use ‘pure’ types anymore).
I’m sorry if sending more than one comment and you having to reply to them is troublesome. I really appreciate the feedback you’ve given.
Hi Gabrielle! I love your article and was hoping you could give me your thoughts on my results. I’m thinking I’m a soft classic, but I am 5’8″ so I wasn’t sure if I am too tall then. I also have a very full bust (48″) and hips (48″), with a bit small waist (38″). So I have curves, but I don’t think I’m super voluptuous considering my height.

Hi Emily! Thanks for providing so much information. Now, generally speaking, yes 5 ft 8 in would be a bit too tall for soft classic. The classic family is all about balance, but it’s also all about “moderation” as well. So even the soft classic doesn’t appear overly curvy. Now, I’m not sure that voluptuous and height can be considered linked. There are certainly tall voluptuous women and short voluptuous women. That being said, you are too tall, and vertical to be in the romantic family (which traditionally has a petite, or smaller feel overall).
Based on the fact that you have a slightly longer vertical (answer 1), your body flesh and measurements you provided ( hourglass style curves), and your facial features which lean towards some exaggerated yin (lips, eyes, cheeks) I would lean towards a soft dramatic ID.
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
Now, typically around 5 ft 8 seems to be the cut-off for some of the other IDs, but I personally think an inch shouldn’t totally disqualify you from a category if the style lines work for you. So I would use this is as a starting point. You might also look into the soft natural, if you feel like you don’t necessarily have that “hourglass” shape. For instance, Heidi Klum has been typed by Kibbe (supposedly) as a soft natural, and she is 5 ft 9.
So I would check out the three types: soft dramatic, soft natural, and then maybe for good measure examine the style lines of the soft classic (if you feel particularly drawn to that ID). From there see how you feel about each.
It can also help to narrow it down to see your weight gain patterns:
soft dramatics weight gain will show at the fleshiest parts of the body; the bust, hips, waist, upper thighs, upper arms, and especially in the face.
soft naturals become extremely soft and fleshy, with the waist thickening. The upper arms, thighs, and hips tend to collect excess weight
The Soft Classic ID body becomes very soft with weight gain. And their facial features become more fleshy. A “thickish” appearance is usually the result of excess weight and your waist definition will be the first to go.
I’m working on an article with examples of these weight gain patterns to help narrow down peoples type, so keep an eye out for that.
Hope this helped! I know it can seem frustrating when the results are not just one easy answer.
Here we go again 😉

I am only 5’5, and many people I have met through online dating (I am laughing at myself right now) assume I will be taller based on my photos.
Hi Erin, So based on your answers I would put you in the Soft Natural ID. Your height fits, and most of your answers do as well. The Soft natural has some angular bone structure with broad shoulders (in comparison to the rest of their body-answer 2) and often has slightly short arms/legs. They tend to have some balanced curves, sometimes a very gentle hourglass shape (seen by your flesh answers, although you may be a bit bustier which still fits in with this ID). And the facial features also work: They tend to have larger eyes and smaller nose ( answer 13 and 11).
Hopefully, this works as a good starting point for you! Let me know if you have any questions.
And, I feel ya on the online dating thing 😉

Note: All of my answers are in order, but the flesh, bone, and face titles section them out according to how the other comments did so per amount of numbers since I wasn’t sure how to do that correctly.
My sister and I went over everything, but since I’m not in perfect shape some of my features are soft, but when I’m at lower weights my structure is more defined. I picked the closest pictures and definitions, but I’m not 100% sure they are completely accurate because I’m not in perfect shape.
When wearing clothing I work best with some clinginess, but also some flow and flare. A bit of waist definition also helps show my waist that easily gets covered up without any structure around it, since it gives my body a rectangular box-like appearance, but with some hip. Straight clothes without flow, flare, and without waist definition make me look like a box, or like I’m stiff for some reason.
Thanks!
Hi Marie! I apologize for the delay in responding ( I was in the depths of a root canal last week and took some time away). Thank you for all the information. I wouldn’t worry if your answers are 100% accurate because you “aren’t in perfect shape”. The Kibbe system is about evaluating your body and not trying to conform to one “ideal” body type. And the quiz shouldn’t be the end of your Kibbe journey, but really just a way to start analyzing your individual features and then gathering information from there.
I would actually lean towards the Dramatic Classic for your ID. At least that is where I would start exploring. Your answers for the bone structure part nod towards some strong lines (your shoulder and your vertical), you have a lot of balance in your flesh (all your C answers) and you mention you look best with a bit of waist definition. The DC ID does best with clothes that have some waist definition but they do veer a bit more structured. That’s not to say you can’t look great in some clingy pieces, though.
And they definitely have some sharpness and balance like your facial answers.
If the dramatic classic doesn’t feel right, I would try the soft classic- potentially because you like a flowy silhouette.
Any feedback? I’m kind of lost (but I also understand that with a metric like this, it’s possible to border on multiple Kibbe types).

I was thinking somewhere between soft dramatic and gamine, but I think I’m too tall to be gamine (5’8.5″).
TIA!
Hi Olivia! It’s really easy to be lost at the beginning of your Kibbe journey and it can take a long time to understand how to interpret your yin/yang balance. Especially fleshiness!
But at 5 ft 8.5 inches you would be too tall to be a gamine. But Soft Dramatic sounds right based on your answers. Your long vertical, your curves in the flesh area, and your facial features generally line up. I would start there and see if they SD style lines and silhouettes work for you. I have a guide on Soft Dramatics : https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
Let me know if you need any help or if those lines don’t work!
(Sorry for the blank comment)
Thanks for the feedback! I actually joined the freely Kibbe Facebook group after posting this comment and have defintely gone down the rabbit hole.
After getting feedback from some people in the group, I think we reached a consensus that I align more closely with FN. I think I was thrown because I am a size 8 and a little “fleshier,” but the term curvy FN makes complete sense in retrospect.
I have been reading up on your post about FNs too, so thank you for all of the work you have put in!
I’m so glad to see you found your ID! Yes, pictures and a group/friend assistance is the best to help with IDs. It can be hard to see ourselves with fresh eyes. Flamboyant Natural is a great ID (I might be biased, lol, I’m one too). And I love that facebook group.?

Hi Liz, thanks for providing some background. It can be hard to sort through mixed answers at first. And the quiz is usually an exercise in starting to define our features and yin/yang balance. Not necessarily a one-stop shop for finding your ID. That being said I would say based on your answers (even though you have a lot of C’s) I would think you are a Theatrical Romantic. At 5 ft 2, you are going to have a generally petite vertical line. And your flesh answers and bone structure answers sound like you have some curve to your body and some delicate aspects to your frame. Your face seems like it has some “striking” features (the A’s) but I imagine they are a bit delicate too next to your more lush eyes and lips.
I would check out the Theatrical Romantic style lines and see if they relate to you. I’d also like to mention if that “style ID” doesn’t vibe with you, that’s ok. I would look more at the actual silhouettes and lines and not necessarily the “femme fatale” aspect.
Want to add- I clearly have mostly Cs, but the spread of where they are generally supposed to be compared to where the other letters are do not match any of the descriptions.
I think I am a Dramatic Classic but I am not sure if that really fits me. I am 5’5’’ but appear taller than I am and I weigh roughly 130# but that is on the heavy side for my frame. I am usually between 120-125# and look slim but not too much at that weight.

I agree you could definitely be a Dramatic Classic. Seems like you have a lot of C answers and balance in your flesh answers. However, a couple of answers are giving me pause. The fact you have a slightly longer vertical ( people think you are taller), your B dominance answers in the bone area and your D answer for bust (which would mean you are slightly top-heavy? compared to your hips). If that’s the case you might want to also look into Soft Natural. Let me know if you have any questions. You could also look at how you gain weight- dramatic classics tend to have weight show up quickly and from the waist down. The soft natural tend to get fleshier all over and lose some of their waist definition.
@Gabrielle Arruda,
In regards to my vertical line people always think I am taller than I am by at least a few inches. I am usually a 32 C-D but since I am a little heavier at the moment I am 32 D-DD. I have broad shoulders but a small waist and my hips are about the same measurement as my bust. I have been told that I appear balanced and I feel that is true. I gain weight in the bust, waist, and hips. I do not gain much weight on my limbs. I have always had pretty slender thighs.
When reading the Soft Natural I did not see that as me as me because I do not gain a lot of weight in my arms as it mentioned.
Thank you for trying to help me figure this out.
Definitely, you know your body best. I was just trying to provide another ID so you could compare. If you have a very balanced frame with a sharper shoulder line then Dramatic Classic would be a good place to start. I would start trying those clothing lines and see if they work for you. From there you could confirm or hone down your ID best.
Here’s a resource for the different clothing lines: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
Hi Gabrielle,
Hoping you can help me! My results seem to be all over the place. Does that make me gamine? I’m 156.4cm (if that helps), and though I’m petite, it surprises people when I tell them I’m just 5’1–they guess I’m slightly taller, maybe 5’3 to 5’4. I’m quite skinny (45-47kg weight fluctuations) but broad and angular in body structure, flat chested, legs are longer in proportion to my torso. My face is oval with a mix of square and round features. I’m South East Asian with Hispanic background and I’ve been told I look younger than I am (by 5-8 years).

Hi Frances! Thank’s for providing such great background information. Based on your individual answers and your info, I would say you should check out the Flamboyant Gamine. You are petite (5 ft 1) but look taller, you have an angular aspect without curves to your bones and flesh and you have some trademark gamine facial features. If you have any questions or need more help refining it, let me know!

Hi Caitlin! Sorry for the delay. So I think you missed a question (number 15)- which isn’t super important overall unless your answers don’t coordinate with the correct question number. But, assuming they do… I would say you are a theatrical romantic. Your height fits for that ID and most of your answers fit the general arch of that ID. You have mostly D and E answers in your flesh and facial features with some B/C answers in your bone structure/face. While the official guideline says TR’s have “A” answers in bone structure, I think it is sometimes hard when first taking the quiz to decipher “how sharp” you are. So I would say the B/C answer lean towards yin in bone sharpness and face. Theatrical Romantics tend to have smaller hands/feet and they have curves but with bones that have some sharp/angular qualities underneath.

Hi Audrey! Based on your predominantly A and C answers I would say you are a Dramatic Classic. Your 5 ft 5 in height also fits that ID.
Here’s a guide on all the ID’s and their style lines.
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
If the Dramatic Classic doesn’t feel right, let me know. You could also read up on the Dramatic ID, while that doesn’t quite fit with all your answers (because of all the C’s)- it could be useful in case you have more yin than you realized.
Hi Gabrielle,

Hi Gee! So, I want to first ask you about your flesh answers- you marked you have a larger bust. Now, imagine if you drew yourself in a silhouette style drawing, would your bust create a curve in that drawing? ( I plan to add some imagery examples to help clarify this soon). For instance, Marilyn Monroe in silhouette would still create an “S” shape along her bust, waist, hips, whereas Jennifer Aniston (while still having a bust), would not. I would lean towards a Natural placement for you. Potentially a pure natural or even flamboyant natural (if you have a really prominent shoulder line/vertical line).
Posting pictures in the Freely Kibbe facebook group is an excellent way to get more fine-tuning of your ID and potentially get an unbiased opinion (it can be really hard to type yourself!)
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you for your input! I have been torn between flamboyant natural and dramatic classic for a while now but do not feel yang enough for the first or balanced enough for the latter. I have a slight curve in the bust when I create a line drawing but it isn’t enough to give me actual curve. I always though kibbe had gotten rid of the pure Natural type, which is why I felt I had to choose between the other two. But maybe I am just pure Natural!
Hey! So yes, Kibbe has kind of said the pure natural, classic, and gamine are no longer in the system. But I think that’s more likely because they are much rarer, not that they don’t exist. I also think the whole system is based on finding the right style lines for your body and understanding your body’s best features and how to utilize them effectively. And, because of that, in my mind, pure types do still exist (because those pure types have slightly different style lines). I would check out the pure natural lines and go from there. You can always try the style lines of each of those types (take photos of the looks to help) and begin to hone what lines really make you look your best. Kibbe (for the most part) says to take a holistic approach to a type, so if one feature doesn’t align doesn’t mean you can’t be that type.
Hi Gabrielle! I’m super fascinated by the Kibbe body types and have just tried to work out mine but am a bit stuck. I got mostly Ds and an even amount of Bs and Cs – I thought maybe a theatrical dramatic body with a classic face? (Is that possible?)
Here are my answers:
1.B
2.C
3.D
4.B
5.D
6.B
7.D
8.D
9.D
10.B
11.E
12.C
13.C
14.D
15.C
So, 6 Ds, 4Bs, 4Cs and 1E. I am 5’7” and slim.
Thanks!
Megan
Hi Megan! So 5 ft 7 is a bit too tall for Theatrical Romantic. Theatrical Romantics also tend to “look” more petite (which you would not with a moderate to tall vertical line and being 5 ft 7).
Now, if I’m going just off your answers I would lean towards a Soft Natural. They can have a gentle hourglass shape and can be up to 5 ft 7.
There are lots of different ways that Soft Naturals hold their weight. Scarlett Johanson is a Soft Natural- which you can see she still has a curvy apperance.
In regards to you feeling like you have a “classic” face… Kibbe has made tons of changes over the years, and said not to even include the face (at some point). I think for the quiz it’s important to look at the bones of the face. However! There is also something called “style essence”- which is an evolution of Kibbe’s types that includes two different categories that speak more towards “what aesthetic vibe” you give off. For instance- both Beyonce and Marilyn Monroe are typed as “Romantics” under Kibbe’s system- but they give off different essences. While Marilyn gives off an ingenue essence, Beyonce gives off more of a dramatic essence, even though their bodies are both Romantics. So, I would say you should investigate the “classic” essence. These systems work well together. Kibbe for general style lines, Style essences for overall “vibe”.

Hi Jessica! Sorry for the delay, I took some time off for the holiday. Based on your answers and your height I would check out the Theatrical Romantic. You have a petite bone structure, but some yang to your shape and yin curves (most likely hourglass shape).
You can read more about the theatrical romantic and their style lines (and the characteristics) here:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
I’m so confused about my body type – I had taken another quiz and always identified with soft dramatic (because I follow a lot of those rules anyway) but apparently I’m flamboyant gamine or soft gamine? I have 7 D’s, 7 A’s, 1 B and 1 C
Answers – basically delicate frame but with pear shaped fat distribution and small/narrow head
1. A – long vertical line, (shorter torso and longer legs), looks taller than height
2. D – sloped tapered shoulders
3. A – narrow, elongated arms and legs (arms past mid thigh, narrow ankles/wrists)
4. A – narrow long hands and feet
5. D – shapely, soft hourglass
6. B – bustline wide, broad, small
7. D – small waistline, angular
8. D – wide rounded, shapely hips
9. D/E – soft and fleshy upper arms and thighs for your weight
10. D – sharp, narrow, sloped jawline
11. A/B – prominent sharp nose (but broad)
12. A – high prominent cheek bones
13. D – rounded upturned eyes, slightly close
14. A – narrow straight thin lips
15. A – flesh on cheeks flat/taught even when overweight
Overall I’m leaning toward flamboyant gamine because of the narrow length of my features, and my lack of fleshiness at the current moment.
So, I personally think it’s ok to borrow some style lines from other ID’s as long as you recognize they might not be the most flattering look you’ve ever worn. Sometimes, I like to wear a trendier look that is outside my ID-knowing it might not highlight all my best features but I feel cool in it. What’s your height? That would help narrow it down.
Also, you could look into style essences. It’s possible to have a flamboyant gamine ID but have a dramatic essence that means you’re more drawn to the glamour and sophistication of the SD.

Hi julia! Can you please include your height?
I am having a lot of trouble with this test. I went into this believe that I was a Soft Dramatic because I am quite tall and have somewhat of an hourglass shape with large hips, thighs, and bust, but according to my test results it would seem that I am more of a Classic or Soft Classic, neither of which feel very accurate for me. I also am a bit on the heavier side, which makes this a little more difficult as well. I am 5’10” for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Here are my results:

Hi Danielle! So the quiz is just a first step into understanding your yin and yang balance and prompting you to look at your body features more critically. So, Kibbe can define hourglass a little differently than the traditional body type system because he doesn’t take measurements of circumference into consideration and focuses more on how you look from a front view.
At 5 ft 10 you would automatically have a strong vertical line and would be placed in 1 of 3 ID’s. You could be a Dramatic, a Soft Dramatic, and a flamboyant natural. Based on your flesh answers and lack of A answers, we can eliminate Dramatic. Flamboyant naturals tend to have some width in the shoulders and are less likely to have that fleshy shape in their torso (they can still have busts and hips) but they aren’t soft outlines.
So Soft Dramatic sounds right based on your information.
Again the quiz isn’t a buzzfeed quiz that spits out a perfect answer. It’s more of an excercise.
I have a guide on soft dramatics:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
And I also have a post on the IDS and their weight gain patterns, which might help you see if your weight gain patterns fit the SD
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-weight-gain-patterns-plus-size-examples/
Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions
Hi thanks for this test! I’m still very confused though because my body is very atypical. I’m almost entirely yin but because I’m tall I technically can only be Dramatic Classic or Natural. But I dont fit in them at all! Here are my results if you’re interested-

I hope someone can help me I’ve been researching this for a few years and people argue over my type SO much lol.
By the way I am 5’10” But I have a moderate to slightly SHORT vertical line. In pictures I don’t appear my height, more like average height, maybe 5’7 or so. I’m very curvy and pear shaped even when underweight. Now that I’m very overweight I still have a sharply defined waist that’s very small for my size. My hands and feet are very small and delicate compared to my ridiculous height.
Hey Beth! So, the kibbe system is a little more constrained with a height of 5 ft 10. You would actually only have 3 possible IDs : Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and Flamboyant Natural. Now, you mention you have a short vertical line, which I totally get. But, Kibbe would say that in person, you are still very tall, and because of that height, your verticality would be your dominant trait. Based on your description I would look into the Soft Dramatic. They have that small waist, with a curvy shape, and the vertical line. They are often known to have some narrow or delicate features as well.
Here’s a guide on the soft dramatic:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
If you have any other questions, let me know!! I know, it can be hard to properly access yourself, especially when you feel like it’s all not fitting together. I’d look at this system as a good way to start framing your clothing choices and understanding why certain things work on your body. Because of your height, you can probably wear a much larger range of clothes than most!

Hi Johannie! Happy to help as best I can. So your answers are very interesting! At 5 ft 7, and a long vertical line that would eliminate the gamines and romantics. But you have narrow shoulders, very balanced flesh, and a lot of yin to your face. This may surprise you, but I would guess you might be a pure Dramatic. Dramatic ID’s frequently get misunderstood as having a totally straight body, but that’s not true. The dominant trait in their bone structure is vertical. And with all your C answers in flesh, that would speak to balance, which means besides your vertical, no other trait really “stands” out. In my case, I’m a flamboyant natural, and while I have vertical, my shoulders stand out too as being a dominant trait. I would look at dramatic examples like Alexis Smith, Olivia Culpo, and maybe even Jamie Lee Curtis. They have all been officially typed by David Kibbe and show that the totally straight mid-section is not the only way a Dramatic can present itself.
Your face answers are throwing me a bit, though. So maybe try the photo excercize and explore the Freely Kibbe Facebook group. Photos really help get a more unbiased dissection of yin/yang.
You could also look into soft dramatic! That might fit as well! (since you have a bust, and your facial answers lean yin). But for soft dramatic to work- your “curves” would really have to be a second dominant trait, and I can’t answer that from just these answers

Hi Alexia. So I find your combinations of answers really interesting! You sound petite in height but have a moderate vertical line. And you have a very balanced flesh section, while your face seems more yin. I would try looking into the soft gamine. They have a delicate bone structure that has some soft curves (all your C answers).

Hi Anna! So at 5 ft 7 you are just under the height cut-off of 5 ft 8 (that’s when you get boxed into only 3 Ids) so you have options 😉
Now, you don’t feel you have a strong vertical and your flesh seems very yin/ slightly curvy. Based on your answers I would look into the Soft Natural. They have that height, but they also have a curvy/fleshy shape. They can have that hourglass shape too, which it sounds like you have!
I have all the style lines listed in the article below if you want to explore the soft natural:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
Let me know if that doesn’t feel right or your have any follow-up questions!
P.S. Based on your answers alone, you might also look into the Soft Classic. However, I think that might be a little less likely. They have a cut-off height of about 5 ft 6.. I don’t think one inch should completely eliminate you from an ID, so it might be worth perusing as well (since you have a lot of C answers in bones).
Hi Gabrielle!
I’m also unsure where I’d fit in? My answers seem to be almost equal natural and classic? (With one E and one D answer in facial features)

Hi Lia! So at 5 ft 7, you could fit into either the Soft Natural or the Soft Classic category. But I agree if you have that width I am leaning towards a soft natural for you. I actually have a tiktok video on this here:

Hi Jasmine! Can you please include your height! Thanks?
I believe my answers would land me as a romantic, but as I am plus size I used your other reference to understand my ID better and I think I’m better suited as either a soft classic or soft gamine. I’m not sure if I can actually be both but they just were the in between for me. My answers were:
BONE: c, e, b, e
FLESH: c, d, e, c, e
FACE: d, b, e, d, c, e
I’m also 5’5
Thank You in advance!
So there are plus size in all the ID’s, but if you’re narrowing it down between the romantic, the soft classic, and the soft gamine I would evaluate the photo you took and see what “stands out”. If you are a romantic, the first thing you will notice is your curves, they will be the most prominent thing about you- you won’t have a strong vertical line or width to your body (width has nothing to do with size). If you are a soft classic, nothing will really stand out. Soft Classics are all about balance and moderation, so their “dominant trait” is kind of that nothing dominants in their look. And if you are a soft gamine, you will have a shorter vertical line, with rounded features- but their curves will be more secondary. You can check out my tiktok account below, I do a lot of videos on the differences between the types and they might help: ( i have some discussing these types)

Theatrical romantic sounds like the right ID for you based on these answers.

Hi Lily! So at 5 ft 11 inches you cannot be in the romantic family. Kibbe pretty much says if you are above 5 ft 8 inches you automatically have a dominant vertical line. But, if you have those curves and yin influence that is common in the romantic family, then I would check out the Soft Dramatic style type.
I have a tiktok here about kibbe and height that might clarify it more:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7041962706525605126?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

I don’t want to elaborate further because I am not at all consistent on my ideas but I have made this test with several friends and the above answers are the ones that we all agreed on.
Hi Sam! I know it can be confusing. If you’re struggling with the quiz answer selection, I would check out the freely kibbe facebook group and post a picture. That can also help narrow it down. You’re 5 ft 7, but your first answer indicates you feel you have a shorter vertical line. You have a lot of B and C answers, throughout the test. However, it doesn’t sound (to me at least) that you are a classic. As classics tend to be super balanced with really no other traits standing out. Based on your answers you have some width to your hips and torso, and some flesh to your upper arms. I might point you in the direction of the soft natural. The soft natural has a wide range of bodies that actually fall into this ID. Heidi klum is a SN, but so is Kat Dennings. I would check out the styles there and see if they work. Here’s a guide of all the ID’s style lines if you want to check it out:

I find trying the style lines and snapping photos of them for review to be a great way to narrow down your ID quickly!

Hi Molly! It can definitely get confusing and be tricky to discern your yang/yin balance at first! So at 5 ft 3 inches, and your answer that you have a shorter vertical line (answer 1), and a lot of smaller, more petite bone structure answers, we can begin eliminating some IDs. Then with the flesh, it sounds like you have balance but are yin emphasized. To me, it doesn’t sound like you are a soft classic because your answers have so much yin dominance it sounds like your curves are more noticeable. Whereas the classic family ID’s don’t really have any standout trait dominance. With your face having some yang emphasis (the A answers), I’m leaning towards a Theatrical Romantic (based on these answers).
Theatrical romantic is a more rare ID, but I would start there. Try the style lines and see how they come out.
I have a guide on all the ID’s lines here:

Hi Mia! At 5 ft 10 Kibbe would put you into one of three categories: The Dramatic, the flamboyant natural, or the soft dramatic. Now to figure this out (since your answers are pretty varied on the quiz)- I would watch this video of mine:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7041962706525605126?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=7046746869989115398
You already have the verticality, do you have any other traits that compete with that dominance? Soft dramatics will have a waspish waist and curves that are very pronounced. Flamboyant naturals will have some horizontal width that they need to dress for, usually consisting of a strong shoulder line or a wider torso.
Dramatics can have some curve to them, it’s just not dominant- I have a video on this as well:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7040160811632823557?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

Your answers seem split between B, C, and D. Which going off those answers sounds like you have some width to your body (kibbe width- doesn’t mean you’re big), some softness/yin to your body (answers for body shape and hips), and that you have some vertical line at 5 ft 7. Now, the soft classic usually doesn’t have that height and has a general height cap of 5ft 6 inches. That is because the classic family is all about moderation and balance and a longer vertical line would disrupt this perfect balance (nothing really stands out as a dominant trait in the classic family). You could definitely be a soft natural, as they can be up to 5 ft 7 inches and they can have that soft yin body with the vertical line. I would begin by trying on the style lines of the soft natural and see how that goes:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
I also have a video that gives an example of the Soft Natural and the Soft classic (it’s a more extreme example to more plainly illustrate the differences between these two IDS) :

Hi Ina,
So based on these answers it sounds like you have a long vertical line at 5 ft 4 inches and you have yang bone structure with very balanced flesh. I don’t think you have (based on your B specific answers) enough bluntness in your answers to make a FN make sense. I would start with the dramatic classic and go from there.
The FN would have kibbe width- which you can see a video on that:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7036427073325518086?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
I’m working on a video for tiktok on the differences between the FN and DC, so if you want you can follow me there to see it. Should be out this week!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi! Question. If I have surgically enhanced my body and/or face, should I answer based on who I am naturally (slash look at presurgery photos?) Or should I answer based on how my body is now (even though I think the surgery I’ve had was NOT actually in harmony with my natural body type.) Thank you!
Hi Erika! That’s an interesting question. I know david kibbe himself has mixed feelings about plastic surgery. In my opinion, I would start by IDing yourself with yourself pre-surgery, and then from there look to see if you need to add any accommodations. Ultimately, this is based on bone structure and flesh, and there isn’t a lot of surgeries that will drastically change that. Now, it may tweak your essence. For instance, if you were originally a natural, and you got a nose job that makes your nose more classic, your style essence may take on some notes of classic then. But even if you got let’s say a boob job, that wouldn’t alter how your bones underneath it lay, so just because you theoretically have bigger boobs that doesn’t mean you have more yin or a double curve. Let me know if you have questions!

Hi Ali! So I would look at the gamine family- more specifically the Flamboyant gamine or pure gamine. It seems you look a little taller than you are (answer 1), but your shoulders are slightly tapered/narrow. And your flesh answers lean more straight and lithe. Based on that I would put you in the gamine family. We can eliminate the soft gamine because it doesn’t seem like you have a yin influence. Now, based on your shoulder answer, Flamboyant gamine seems a little less likely. So, I would examine the pure gamine first… But if that ends up not feeling right examine the flamboyant gamine (especially if you feel you actually do have a stronger shoulder line).
I have the style lines and descriptions of both in this post:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
I love this system and test but I am struggling with my results. Can you help?

I’m 5’2″ and am more muscular and stocky vs dainty. I do have a waist but it’s not super defined. I have small hands and feet and thin ankles. I gain weight in the belly most but also arms and my face shows weight gain or loss very quickly. I have a large bust always, but gain weight there as well. Help!
Thank you!
So your description really helps! I would look into the soft gamine based on what you said. You said you look your height (answer 1) and you’re 5 ft 2, so I would take from that a shorter vertical line. Gamines often look muscular and straight- not always or necessarily dainty. I have the full soft gamine description in the post below:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
If that is feeling incorrect you could also (maybe*) examine the soft natural if you feel you have “kibbe” width.

I’m 5’2″ and naturally muscular/stocky. Sort of gymnast-type build, with sloping but fairly broad shoulders and strong legs. I am overweight so I look more fleshy than I would if I was at a smaller size, and I feel like it’s throwing me off.
I have a large bust and a slightly defined waist. I don’t look much shorter than I am. I have small hands and feet, with small ankles. My hands and fingers are small but my wrists and bone structure is definitely not dainty. I look sturdy!
I have “t-rex arms” and about a 27″ inseam. I put on weight evenly but my belly really gets the most. My hips are fairly straight.
I have high cheekbones and almond shaped eyes that are not overly large. I have a small, slightly upturned button nose and middle of the road lips, a high forehead — think Christina Ricci. I gain weight in my face very easily and my jaw gets wider.
I just don’t think I’m a Romantic even though it looks that way on the test. I’m short but don’t feel “petite” if that makes sense. Even in high school while playing sports and in peak shape, I was never super thin.
I’m trying to change up my style and think the Kibble system could really be helpful if I can get it sorted out. Your insight is appreciated!
hi!! im 5′ & am very unsure of my kibbe id so i was wondering if you wouldn’t mind helping me? thanks so much!! also i tried to be as accurate as possible but i may not have the answers right:(

Hi Ash, I totally understand it is hard to be accurate. I think the quiz is a good first step in your Kibbe journey, but ultimately once you learn the terminology and take a proper ID photo, you may see your answers shift. Based purely on your answers and your height, I would put you in the theatrical Romantic. They tend to be petite, but with slightly angular bones and yin flesh and features. Let me know if you have any questions.
So maybe I did it wrong or did not do a good job but here are my answers:

I am 5’6, currently 180 lbs. I’ve been typed as FN previously but I’m not sure. I also have a link to a picture of myself https://imgur.com/a/qF8dD5W
I am hoping Kibbe typing can put me on the path to better confidence in the way I dress! I would love some help if you can!
Hi Liv! Sorry for the delay in responding. So that picture is not the best for typing, but I would definitely lean towards the natural family. And based on your answers Flamboyant Natural could be a good fit. However, I can’t see completely without a proper ID photo, but you may also explore the Soft Natural.
Is there a reason you weren’t feeling the FN ID? For what it’s worth, a lot of people (including myself) disliked their ID at first. And I will say that every person has their own unique blend of yin/yang so it’s ok if you don’t feel like FN works because of a celebrity example.
Let me know and we can go from there!

So, unless C answers are dominant, we usually try to ignore them in the test answers (but you have 9, so you’re right over that). I would say you could check out the soft classic style lines.. But, your first answer is giving me pause. The fact you have a short vertical line (meaning you look shorter), and are 5 ft, you might also look at the pure romantic as well. Soft classics usually have a very moderate vertical line, and a lot of balance with soft edges. So I’d check out both soft classic and romantics.

Hi Lucy! So unless C’s are you dominant answer, I tend to ignore them for evaluation purposes. You are close to that mark, but I’m not leaning towards the classic family based on all your answers. Now, it seems like you have a balanced shape, but a more petite frame and a slightly shorter vertical line. Do you feel like you have blunt edges? If you do, I’d look at the Soft Natural. If you don’t then I would consider looking at the pure romantic, because of your D/E answers. If you have any questions, let me know!

Hi Kalena, what’s your height?!
hii can someone help – based off of images i feel like id be a flamboyant gamine but i cant tell if my results tip me towards that (im 5’5)
bone:1a, 2a, 3c?, 4b
flesh:5a, 6b, 7d, 9c?
face:10a, 11b, 12a, 13aor b idk, 14d, 15d
Hey Catherine! Flamboyant gamine could definitely work with these answers. FG’s are combo yin/yang with a yang influence and it seems like you have some elongation in your body and fit the general height requirements of the FG. And the mixed answers could be your yin influence. Do you feel like you are ultimately petit with some elongation in your body?
Hi there! I am a little confused about what type I am. I am 5’3” so being petite means I’m going to be somewhere in the Romantic or gamine area. However, I feel like I have too much Yang for a Pure Romantic but then I don’t think I fit with a theatrical romantic or soft gamine either. What do you think?
Bone:
1. D
2. B (this keeps throwing me off bc I have blunt shoulders that are wide — my shoulders are the widest part of my body)
3. E
4. D
Body Flesh:

9. E/D
Facial Features:

11. E
12. E
13. B
14. B
15. D
When I read about Soft Gamine it seems the closest but I feel like my facial features are only 50/50
So I wouldn’t use your face as a deciding factor. Face answers can help tip you towards an ID but they aren’t even used in the base system anymore. Have you considered flamboyant gamine? They are combo yin/yang with a yang influence. And they can have “kibbe curves”. They won’t have the double curve, but Jennifer Love Hewitt is a great example of a FG who has traditional curves but her bones are mostly angular and she has that combo yin/yang throughout. They also have a strong shoulder line.
That being said if you feel you have “blunt shoulders that are wide” I would also look into soft natural. They are kibbe width with soft/yin influence and can be petit!
Here’s a video on what kibbe “width” means ( it doesn’t mean big, I have it!)

I am 5.10 and gained some weight so I find it hard to tell. My weight now is 160 lbs.
When I lose weight everybody thinks that I am doing a lot of sports even if I don‘t.
I have very broad shoulders and long arms but rather short legs for my height.
I gain weight on my hips and arms.
Thanks
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! Sounds like you are a Flamboyant Natural with some curves (totally possible). At 5 ft 10 you could be dramatic, soft dramatic, and flamboyant natural. Based on your B prominent answers, your broad shoulders, and your natural muscular look, Flamboyant Natural would be a good place to start! Let me know if you have any questions.
(also, a lot of FN guides say to do baggy dresses or loose only silhouettes- this isn’t the only way to dress an FN). Ultimately you can show off your waist as an FN but you don’t need to emphasize it like the SD. And unconstructed (fewer seams) pieces are also great.
Hi there, thank you for putting so much effort into helping others find their body type!
I have mostly C answers followed by E which I think would make me a dramatic classic type, but I am not quite certain. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Christine,
Technically you’re about one inch too tall for the Dramatic Classic. At 5 ft 8 you would be between dramatic, flamboyant natural, and soft dramatic? So I’m going to eliminate dramatic based on these answers because it sounds like you don’t have a lot of sharpness to your structure. The remaining two would be flamboyant natural (kibbe width) or soft dramatic (need for curve accomodation)? I would lean gently towards SD for you based on these answers because it sounds like you have verticality (5 ft 8) and some curves to your shape (even with hip dips) and no upper torso/shoulder width. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
Hello Gabriella,
I’m a bit lost with my results. I retook it with a better full body picture and got these :
Bones : C – B – B – E
Flesh : D – B – D – D – D -D
Face : D – B – C – E – B – B
I’m 5’4, if that helps.
Thanks!!
Hi Myriam, So based on these answers generally I would put you in either the soft natural or romantic family. Do you have “kibbe width”- I have an explanation of that here:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7036427073325518086?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
That would lean more towards the Soft Natural.
Now, if you don’t have kibbe width I’d look into the soft gamine or the pure romantic!
Let me know what you think!
@Gabrielle Arruda,
I watched your video and I don’t have Kibbe width. If anything, my shoulders look more sharp than blunt and they are not wide. I’m 5’4 and look my height, which is rather petite. I looked into the soft gamine and the pure romantic and I’m leaning toward soft gamine! Thanks for your help!!
Glad you’ve narrowed it down!! Gamines have some great style lines and can really play up trends?
@Gabrielle Arruda, just to let you know, it might be helpful for others. I tried both SG and R recommendations, and I am definitely R in the end. I found it helpful to take daily pics of my outfits and to then compare them, see the ones I liked/disliked and what they had in common.
Thanks once more for your help in this!
That is definitely a great way to narrow down an ID, I totally agree! I always take pics of my outfits and keep them in a folder, I find it helps me to have a “rolodex” of outfits and to help get fresh eyes on why an outfit did or didn’t work!
I’m a little confused, because if I look at bone and flesh separate from the face I think I lean toward one type but when I add the face in it doesn’t match up so I’m just confused lol.
I’m 5’8” ish

Hi Izzy- So I wouldn’t worry about the face answers. Kibbe has said not to and he doesn’t consider them when officially typing anymore. It’s possible you have a contradictive kibbe ID and style essence.
Style essence article here:
https://gabriellearruda.com/the-7-style-essences-explained/
So unless you have dominant C answers throughout, c answers are usually ignored. Because your 5 ft 8, you can only be put into 3 IDs- the dramatic, the soft dramatic, or the flamboyant natural. Based on your bone structure answers I don’t think you have “kibbe width”, so you are most likely not an FN based on these answers.
However, you have some slight curve/yin to your flesh- which would be you could be a soft dramatic or potentially a slightly curvier dramatic.
So, my follow up question would be when you look at your kibbe ID photo do you notice verticality only, or verticality plus curve? Do you feel you need to accomodate your waist/curves when you dress? If so, SD would be a good place to start!
I’m from another country (Brazil, Manaus), I’m using the translator, so if there’s something strange written, that’s why. Some extra info: I’m 26 years old, I weigh 53 kg and my height is 1,56 m and people usually say I look taller from afar, my arms and legs are long even though I’m obviously short. So the results:
1 vertical line: B Total: A B C D E
2 shoulders: E 2 3 2 6 1
3 arms and legs: A
4 shape’s hand and feet: A
5 overall shape’s body: D
6: bustline: C
7 waist: C
8 hips: D
9 flesh on upper arms and thighs: D
10 jawline: D
11 nose: D
12 cheekbones shape: B
13 eyes: D
14 lips: D
15 flesh cheekbones: C
Result: I think I’m between soft gamine and theatric according to the explanation given, so from that result i compared my body with the picture t the second image available in the article “The 13 Kibbe Body Types and Their Clothing Recommendations” on this blog, I’m still not sure, maybe between these two, i will look for clothing styles for these two body types, thank you very much!!!
Hi Natalie! So at 5 ft 2, those two IDs could definitely work for you. The Theatrical Romantics tend to have very delicate bones and a narrow silhouette. And soft gamines have combo yin/yang with yin influence, and they tend to have more contrasted features. I would try the style lines for both and see which one you harmonize with best. Gamines often need horizontal breaks in their outfits and do really well separates.

Hi Joan
So at 5 ft 6 you can definitely fit into quite a few types. It sounds like you definitely have yin flesh based on your flesh answers, and some yin facial features. Your bones indicate you look slightly taller than 5 ft 6 and that you have slightly blunt/broader shoulders. Because of those answers I would say you should investigate if you have “kibbe width”- here’s an explanation of it:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7036427073325518086?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
And if you do I would investigate the soft natural.
If you don’t have kibbe width then you could look into the pure romantics. However pure R’s tend to be under 5ft 5 and not look taller than they are, which is why I didn’t lead with this ID.
Let me know your thoughts!

So based on these answers I would put you in the gamine or romantic family. Now you seem to have some yin influence so it would most likely be between the soft gamine, theatrical romantic, or the pure romantic. Soft gamines have juxtaposition, so their dominant trait is petite (not like they shop in the petite section, just that they are all around smaller). The romantics have curve dominance, which your D/E answers hint towards. I’d read up on those Ids here:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
And let me know which you think you lean towards and we can figure it out!

I am 5’8 and most people guess my height correctly in person. I am seeing Dramatic Classic in my answers, but they are a little mixed so I’m not definitive. I know they say Dramatic Classics are not typically taller than 5’7 so I don’t know if that makes a difference? What do you think?
Thank you!
hi KC- So you’re correct that 5 ft 8 is a bit too tall for DC. Your IDs would either be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural because you automatically have verticality as a dominant trait being 5 ft 8. Now based on these answers alone I would lean towards Soft Dramatic, because it seams like you have some fleshinesss/curve to accomodate. However, you also marked B for the shoulders answers. So the next step would be to investigate whether you have “kibbe width” because you could be a curvier FN. Your answers don’t lead me to dramatic, so I think you can eliminate that one.
I have a video on kibbe width here:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7036427073325518086?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
But the easiest way to tell is to take a Kibbe Id photo and sketch the shape of your body (you can even take it from the back so it’s easier to see)- you can see in my ID picture in the article that I have “kibbe width” in my shoulders, upper back, and torso area.
If you don’t have similar shapes/kibbe width then I would go with Soft Dramatic.
PS- I’m about 120 lbs right now and this is a typical weight for me. When I answered, I took into consideration their comments on how I look when gaining weight. I tend to gain all over and look a bit curvier when I’m pregnant/ postpartum (the only time I really gain much weight).
So sorry for posting so much! I made a typo and wanted to correct it: Under facial features, the lone A was supposed to be a D. Also, I have larger round eyes and full lips, if that puts it into perspective. My shoulders do have some broadness.
Sometimes I get stuck because being 5’8 limits my categories to just a few. I am definitely not curve-dominant, but I’m not overly straight either and being really short-waisted kind of plays tricks on my eyes. In traditional “body shape” tests, I’m told that I’m a “top hourglass” but that my hourglass is not extreme or voluptuous.
I look very unfortunate in anything too straight or sharp and definitely look top-heavy if I wear loose or flowy tops that don’t have waist definition. I feel I can definitely pull off some drama because of my height and shoulders, but it has to have waist definition and soft, elegant, or feminine touches to it or else it looks masculine and out of place in comparison to some of my softer features. My hair is long and only looks right if it’s smooth and well-groomed. I have tried the fun tousled look, but it looks out of place on me, for some reason. Elegant, feminine, tailored looks are what I seem to look best in and get complimented on the most. I just can’t quite put my finger on this.
So it’s a misconception that Flamboyant naturals don’t show off their waist and wear baggy things 24/7. They just don’t waist emphasis (belts around the waist or fitted/seamed garments like SD’s do). There are totally curvier FN’s out there-like jennifer lawrence and even elle fanning.
Based on your descriptions here, it sounds like you might be more of an SD, but I would play around with both the FN lines and the SD lines to see how they work.
Hello Gabrielle,
My answers are as follows:
Bone structure: C – E – D – E
Flesh: E – D – D – D – D
Face: D – E – D – E – D – D
I am 163cm. I look quite curvy whatever my weight (I am currently 58kg and still look so), and I definitely need waist emphasis. I would lean toward romantic or theatrical romantic maybe?
Thank you for your help, and this website which is really well constructed!!
Hi Myriam! Yes, based on your answers and your height I would say the romantic family is good bet. Now the difference between Theatrical Romantic and pure Romantic is a bit of yang influence for the TR. They tend to have very narrow silhouettes with delicate bones that have just a bit more sharpness to them than the romantics. In comparison, romantics can look a bit wider (not kibbe width) than the TR. Both have curve as their dominant trait, but TR’s are curve + petit.
I would try the style lines for each if those descriptions don’t help you narrow it down!
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you for your answer! I might be a TR, since my partner noted that I have very high, sharp cheekbones and a bit of sharpness in my shoulders. I definitely look overall petite, if curvy. I will try both lines to see what I like the most, but knowing the ‘family’ helps a lot already!! Thank you for the time you take to answer the comments, I know it must be a lot. I really appreciate it.
You are so welcome! And I see you found your ID, so exciting!

hi Jada! One trait not being “moderate” doesn’t mean you can’t be a classic- its more about looking at your entire body. Because more than half of your answers are C, classic makes sense. To determine whether you are a dramatic classic or soft classic would be identifying if you look better in tailored pieces (DC, you would have some extra yang to your body).. Or soft classic would be softer fabrics and silhouettes ( you would have a bit more yin to your body). Pure classic are pretty rare, but can be considered as well.

Hi Emma, So unless C answers are dominant, we tend to ignore them. Based on these answers alone I would put you in the romantic family- most likely pure Romantic. This fits with your height as well. I would try those style lines and see how they work. I have an article on all the ID style lines here:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-body-types-clothing-recommendations/
If those don’t work, let me know and we can go from there! You can also try posting a kibbe ID photo in the freely kibbe facebook group if you feel your answers might not be accurate or the romantic ID isn’t working.
I would love a second opinion! For reference, I am 5’8″
I really can’t tell, but I’m leaning towards Soft Classic maybe? I’ve also considered DC and SD

Hi Virginia! So at 5 ft 8 you would automatically have vertical as one of your dominant traits. This would put you into one of three IDS- the Dramatic, The Flamboyant Natural, or the Soft Dramatic. Based on your flesh answers, I would first investigate the Soft Dramatic- they need that curve accomdodation/waist emphasis that your answers seem to be indicating.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thanks so much for the input!! After more reflection I am definitely in the D family, likely SD but could be D. After considering DC, SN, and SC as well it is nice to at least be confident about the basic family!
Yes, that should really help point you in the right direction. Both D’s (who can have some curve like Olivia Culpo) and SD’s honor their vertical line. The main difference is the need for curve accommodation. I would start trying both of the lines to pinpoint whether you really need to show off your waist and/or need to buy garments that skim your curves
Hello,
I’m so confused my my results, I’m 5’8 and I had a friend help me with the answers and here is what we got:

Thank you for the help!
So at 5 ft 8 you would automatically have verticality as one of your traits so you would fit into one of three IDS: Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic.
Based on your answers it seems you might have “kibbe width” and some blunt yang bone structure. I would explore the Flamboyant Natural ID first (there are curvy flamboyant Naturals- like Jennifer Lawrence for instance). But if that doesn’t feel right you could also look in the Soft Dramatic. Ultimately the difference between the two with styling will be whether or not your need* waist emphasis/curve accomodation.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for this in-depth write up. Fantastic clear source! You saved me a huge headache.
I’m so glad it helped!
Hello!
I’ve been looking lately at some of your guidelines for different body types and it’s so helpful! Thank you a lot! I have a slight problem with this one though, as I think I’m theatrical dramatic, but maybe gamine? I’m 5ft 5 inch, which is rather tall for a romantic type. I mean, I’m taller than most of my girl friends and if I wear high heels, I am taller than any of them. I also have a small head comparing with my body, so I seem even taller. Could you help me with defining my Kibbe body type? I’d be grateful 🙂
My anwers are:
1B 2D 3A 4D
5D 6C 7D 8E 9E
10A 11B 12A 13E 14C 15C
Hi Diana! So Kibbe is not about comparing yourself to other peoples proportions or about how you look in heels, so I’d avoid comparing those aspects. At 5 ft 5 inches you could be a romantic (but you would be at the height limit). However, based on your answers, I’m not necessarily seeing pure romantic. So if you think you are between a Theatrical Romantic or some sort of gamine (which I can see in your answers), then we need to look at your entire look and your dominant traits. Have you taken a proper ID photo? From there you can examine it and see which fits you best. Theatrical Romantics will have “double curve”- I have a video on kibbe curve terminilogy here:
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7055377078169963823?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en (PART 1)
https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7055377507448753454?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en (PART 2)
Now, if you have double curve and generally petit frame that would Theatrical Romantic or possibly Soft Gamine. However, at 5 ft 5 inches and your answer for the vertical line, I”m not leaning towards that.
Petit in kibbe just means “small all over”- not that you shop in the petit section.
Let me know what you think after watching the curve videos and we can narrow it done further.
You could also try posting your kibbe ID photo in the freely kibbe facebook group to get some 3rd party perspectives (it can be REALLy hard to ID yourself)
Hi! This questionnaire was so helpful but I am definitely having a difficult time interpreting my results. Some of the questions were difficult to answer so I took my best shot. I am 5’8″.

Hi Rachel, just based on these answers, and your description I would look into the Flamboyant Natural. It’s completely possible to be a curvier FN, and it sounds like you have some kibbe width in your shoulders/upper back. I would explore if you have kibbe width- https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7036427073325518086?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en
If not, then I would look into the Soft Dramatic! Because at 5 ft 8 you automatically have vertical as one of your dominant traits- so you can only be an D, SD, or FN>

Hi Marina, so Kibbe actually clarified in an SK group that he believes you cannot be an SN at 5 ft 7, which was an update from the book. However, your answers are not B dominant, which is most common for SN’s. If you feel you need curve accommodation and have a longer vertical line you could also look at the SD ID. I would try the style lines for each to see which fit best. I’d also examine if you have “Kibbe width”- because if you do then you might be a curvier Flamboyant Natural.

I think I’m a soft classic, my results were:

But I’m pretty confuse since I am asian and some of my feature are unlike the picture.
My height is 5’5.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, so you could be a soft classic but because C’s aren’t totally dominant I would ask the following questions just to be sure. Do you have kibbe width (an openness in your upper shoulders/back) because that would be the natural family. Or do you have contrasted features, longer limbs but shorter torso or vice versa- some juxtaposition in the balance of your limbs – that would be gamine. Or does nothing really stand out- because that would be classic.
Hello, can you please help me figure out my kibbe type? I think I’m a soft gamine but I’m not sure

So because you are 5 ft 11 that means you automatically have vertical which would place you in one of three IDs: Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Based on you B answers in skeleton, and your curve answers in flesh- I would most likely* narrow it down to a curvy Flamboyant Natural or maybe a Soft Dramatic. FN’s have kibbe width- which is an openness in their upper back/shoulder/torso area. They accomodate vertical and width, first. Tracy Ellis Ross is a great example of a curvy FN. I’d explore that first and then move on to SD if that doesn’t feel right.
Hello,
After taking this quiz I am a bit confused about my result.

So your height could put you in any one of those categories. Soft naturals have “kibbe width” which is an openness in their upper torso/shoulder/back ( you can see it in your ID photo or an ID photo taken from the back as well). Theatrical romantics have very, very delicate bones and don’t necessarily have bodacious curves. And soft gamines accommodate “petit” (not petitsizes just small bones) with curve. They tend to have juxtaposition within their bodies- like they don’t have perfectly balanced proportions and they have yin eyes with a yang nose (as an example).
Do any of these sound more accurate? The test answers can be hard to do without bias, but just based on your answers I would probably lean towards gamines, but again look at the accommodations first.
Hi Gabrielle,
First I want to say thank you! Your responses to everyone are very in depth and thoughtful. I took the test and well, I can’t quite figure it out. I am 5’2,VERY short waisted and long limbed. My inseam is 31″ and even though I am well below the max height of 5’4″ I cannot shop in the petite section, everything is high watered and unintentionally 3/4 sleeved. My seamstress even made fun of me when altering my wedding dress lol! When I gain weight I tend to put it on evenly. I don’t know if that helps at all, but it seemed pertinent. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Vanessa! So even though you mention you can’t shop in the petit section I would guess that you are in the gamine family. Yes, one of their accommodations is “petit” but it doesn’t mean you shop in the petit section, it just means you have smaller bones all around. Your longer limbs are an example of contrast or juxtaposition that the gamines are known for. Now I would lean towards FG just based on the elongation you mention in your body, but you have some soft flesh answers as well. So I would explore the FG and SG style lines. They do well with horizontal line breaks.
Excellent article Gabrielle. Can you please with my extremely mixed result?

Hi! So the quiz is usually just a starting point as it can be difficult to answer these questions accurately. Just based off of your height and your mixed answers i would start with the gamines- and it looks like your flesh answers lean towards Soft Gamine. They accommodate petit (small bones, not necessarily petit sizes in stores) and curve.

I would look into the gamine family, a huge variety of answers is usually gamine. Now whether you are a flamboyant gamine potentially or a soft gamine would depend on your accomodations. Flamboyant gamines accommodate petit (small bones not petit sizes) and some elongation. Whereas soft gamines accommodate petit and curves. Here’s a guide to all the ID’s style lines which might help narrow it down.

My face and body do not match.
I’m 5’6 and 3/4.
I also asked another person and without me telling them my answers we had exactly the same answers.
Would the difference in my face make me a dramatic classic?
I tend to gain weight all over my body. Not just in my hips and thighs.
I also have a high hip shelf with hip dips which gives me the Barbie hip vibe.

It’s ok if your face and body don’t match, this is why Kibbe eventually removed the face as a typing factor since fabric doesn’t lay over it anyway. Face can be more of an essence thing as well, (here’s an article on essences
https://gabriellearruda.com/the-7-style-essences-explained/ )
So, it is totally possible for two DC’s to not have the same exact body. That’s why it’s recommened to not look only at a celebrity to figure out your ID. For instance Jackie O and Maggie Siff have different shapes but are both verified DC’s.
However, the test is really, really had to do without bias. A lot of people end up thinking they are a classic or theatrical romantic. Here’s a more full article on the dramatic classic:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-dramatic-classic-style-guide/
They have slight vertical and balance as their main traits.

Please help *head scratch* I keep jumping from Classics, Romantics and Gamines.
Can you include your height as well? It also helps to think about it in terms of “accommodations”- classics need to accommodate moderation/balance (they can’t wear pieces that are too out there), romantics need to accommodate their curves (allow their curves to breath, show), and gamines need to accommodate “petit” (not in the petit dress section style, but just generally small bones),

When I was slimmer, I looked much taller and leaner, but still had full bust and thighs, with a smaller waist and very narrow torso (don’t know how to explain this). Shoulders looked broad with defined collarbone.
I’m plus size now and weight gain is always divided among my face, bust, upper arms and thighs, but waist is always much smaller in relation.
My feet, ankles and hands always thin, long and narrow.
Many thanks,
Michelle.
Hi Michelle, at that height you are too tall for the Theatrical Romantic. I would start exploring the Soft Dramatic since that’s more in line with your answers. Those accommodations would be curve and vertical!
here’s an article on the SD style lines:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-dramatic-style-guide/
Although nowadays its less about meeting the “diva chic” look and more about making sure your curves can breath and your vertical is highlighted. I have a video on my youtube that talks a bit more about the “head to toe” concept :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUQUISQMSZ4&feature=youtu.be ( if you’re looking for guidance!)

At 5 ft 9 you automatically have vertical so you could only be one of three ids the Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and Flamboyant natural. Based purely off your answers (and it can be a process to be unbiased or accurately answer these questions) I would explore the Soft Dramatic. They accomodate curve and vertical and because you have a lot of D answers in flesh, it leads me to believe you may need curve accommodation. But, that’s just a starting point! Let me know if you have any questions.

I am 5ft 5.5inches. I have yo-yo’d in weigh and am currently 210lb. Five years ago I was 147lb and I have used a photo of myself from then to do the test.
I’ve seen various photos of “overweight” kibbe types but I think it’s confusing me. I have basically gained weight around the tops of my arms, bust, waist and hips (with a bigger bust and tummy area, classic “apple”!). I still have slim wrists and ankles.
I’ve always considered myself to look my height and people have described me as “tall” on occasion. But I also did the proportion exercise and found I am less than 8 heads high and I am short waisted, have a long rise and short legs. So the Classic kibbe result confuses me as I don’t feel proportionally right for a Classic.
Do you have any thoughts on this please? I’m going around in circles!
Thanks. 🙂
Susanna.
Hi Susana, so the quiz can be difficult to apply and a lot of people end up with tons of C answers. Now based on your answers alone I would say Soft Classic. However, your description would lead me more to Soft Gamine. Gamines have juxtaposition, they tend to have the mismatched proportions you mention and they often can have a more rectangular shape to their bodies even when they have some curve. 5 ft 5 would be the taller height limit for soft gamines, but It’s worth considering! They accommodate petit (not petit sizes in the store) but generally smaller-sized bones. And they also accommodate curve, which your D answers might suggest you need. Hope this can be a good starting place. Let me know if you have any questions!
@Gabrielle Arruda,
Thanks for your reply.
Since my comment I’ve been looking back at photos of myself in various outfits. I think I tend to suit lines that are broken vertically and horizontal lines and boxy fits don’t seem to look right (but I don’t have alot of outfit photos that show his conclusively). I’ll look into Soft Gamines and try and find photos where I am dressing for that body type or perhaps try different lines with my plus sized figure?
I’ve also been looking at my silhouette when a smaller size and realised that my shoulders are quite wide and a little blunt. I have a slightly defined waist and hips that aren’t as wide as my shoulders. I’d also consider my frame as being wider rather than petite. I am now wondering if I might be a Soft Natural. So perhaps I should play around with both Soft Natural and Soft Gamine to find out what I might be?
This is all so confusing but I’d like to find out what Kibbe Type I am so I can put together my personal style. At least I know I have a Blue Autumn colour palette which has been very helpful. Its a journey……
Susanna.

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for the article and test! I’m very confused on my results, would love your guidance.
I’m 5’4″ and I feel like I can look muscular, dainty, or fairly-curvy depending on what I’m wearing. I have short legs and a long rise/long torso. I would describe myself as having a slight pear shape, my measurements are 33-26-36, and the curves on my bottom half are front to back and not side to side, so I can look either very curvy or fairly boyish depending on angle.
For the sake of honesty, if I was torn between two answers, I wrote down both of them.

Hi Tia, based on your description and the combination/span of answers you have, I would explore the gamines first! It sounds like you have some yin and yang characteristics within your face and your body and the fact you have shorter legs and longer torso is common for gamines. Now with kibbe, “curve” is defined differently. It’s only taken really from a facing front perspective and whether it comes from frame or flesh. Meaning- do your bones shape the curves or does the flesh on top of the bones create the curves ( I hope that make sense). I would start with SG and see if you need to accommodate kibbe curve and if not, then try the FG.
Let me know if you have any questions!
@Gabrielle Arruda,
It does make sense! After playing around with some lines, I’m pretty sure I’m FG (and funny enough, I’m discovering that a lot of my closet is already geared for those lines, lol). Thank you so much for the help!
Hi Gabrielle,
I feel so confused about my results. Even if I’m learning about the Kibbe System for years… sigh. Would you help me?
My Results:
Bone: 2xC 2xD
Body-Flesh: 5xC
Face: 3xB 2xC 1xE
..at first glance this seems to be the classic category. But:
– I’m 5’4 with a big head on a delicate body (gamine?)
– my upper body never adds flesh; extra weight only collects on hips (yang feature?)
– my face has strong natural (B) influences (in contrast to my body features)
– so I got equal amounts of yin and yang answers beside my C answers (just as much as I need to be confused)
What do you think?
Thank you for your great work on this site! 🙂
Best regards
Bigi
Hi Bigi, so it’s a little hard not knowing which answers are where within each section. But based on your description it sounds like you have some contrast/juxtaposition. Have you considered Flamboyant gamine (especially if your shoulder answer was more yang). Or soft gamine if you feel you need to accommodate curve. Your face having a “natural” look could be more closely tied your essence. I have a video on that here if you’re curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTb816B18c

So if you’re still growing, (i’m not sure your age), I would wait to find your kibbe ID because height can be an important factor. Kibbe recommends just having fun with your style and trying out trends and experimenting basically until you are around 25. At 25 your body will be done growing and you’ll likely be ready for a more permanent personal style. You might want to explore the essence system instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTb816B18c
Hello there,
I am unsure about my answers as well and I would need your help with that.
I am 159 cm and I am a little chubby (53 kg and inverted triangle) and in overall that makes me look short. My answers are :1d, 2b, 3e, 4d, 5c, 6d, 7c, 8c, 9d, 10b, 11d, 12a, 13c, 14c, 15c.
Much appreciated!
Helen,
Hi Helen, at 5 ft 2 inches and the your description/answers I would explore the FLamboyant Gamine ID first and see if those style lines work well for you. If you have any questions, let me know!
Hello! I’m not sure if you’re going to see this after all this time but I’m a little unsure about my results and I wanted to see if you could help me?
Just for your information, I’m 5’1″ and around 90lbs (a tad underweight so I don’t know if that affects the answers?)

I would think this would put me in the classic family but I’m not sure (if dramatic classic or soft classic) since after C’s, I have an even amount of E’s and D’s (which are on opposite sides of the yang-yin spectrum). The C’s are also only in the body flesh section with B’s and E’s making the majority of the 2 other sections (a situation that wasn’t really accounted for in the blog).
I also relate a lot to the soft natural descriptions and suggestions for clothing so I’m really not sure. On top of that, I’m hesitant with a few of my answers because I’ve never really gained significant weight so I can’t double-check according to how my “type” gains weight. A lot of being unsure here lol
Thanks in advance,
Katie
Hi Katie. So unless C answers are dominant throughout the entire quiz, they tend to be ignored because the quiz itself can be difficult to answer without natural bias. E and D answers are not on the opposite side of the yin/yang spectrum, they are actually both yin. Based on your shoulder answer, you need for curve, and your height I would actually check out Soft Natural first. Soft Naturals can be 5 ft 1. I wouldn’t focus on the weight aspect, Kibbe isn’t really about weight gain. I include that article so that people can see more examples of size inclusivity but an ID factor really shouldn’t be solely weight gain pattern. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
Hi, I’m not sure if I am actually a soft classic. I’m 160cm/5 3 in height.
My answers are as follows:
1. B
2. C
3. C
4. C
5. E
6. C
7. E
8. D
9. E
10. D
11. C
12. D
13. D
14. D
15. D
So because the quiz can be really difficult to answer without natural bias, C answers are generally knid of ignored unless they are the dominant answers overall. Based on your answers and your height I would explore the pure romantic or potentially the soft gamine. You obviously lean yin, but it’s a matter of deciphering if you have contrast like the gamines or double curve like the romantics.
I have a few tiktok videos that might help clarify these terms:

I was thinking I was mostly C until the face part happened, but I would love to know what you think! I am 5’5″ 🙂
So faces aren’t really weighed into the kibbe ID officially anymore, because they can cause confusion and the system has evolved to be more about how the fabric drapes over your body. Based on your answers, I would look into the classic family, and maybe start with the soft classic since you have a bit of yin. However, if that’s not meshing, don’t feel boxed in because the quiz can be difficult to assess without natural bias. And if your face is really different than your body, my essence video might help explain the gap

My head is a pea compared with my shoulders lol, they’re wider than my hips, but my hips are wider than my chest. I have a big chest and very bony arms. Because of that I look very top heavy. Do you reckon it fits with a dramatic classic body type?
Thank you so much.
So DC’s usually have some vertical line to accommodate and at 5 ft 2, and a C answer for vertical line, that’s less likely. Based on the mix of answers and your height and description I would actually start with Flamboyant Gamine first, which often have the smaller bone structure you described and prominent shoulder line. Let me know if you have any questions!
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you so much! After looking into it, it definetly sounds more like me! I came across the idea of there being two types of FG, one more natural or muscular (Tina Turner, Lady Gaga) and the other more dramatic or “fragile” looking (Lily Rose, Audrey Hepburn).
I would really appreciate your take on this and would love to see you talk about it.

I’m pretty sure I’m a TR, but I’d love someone else’s opinion! I’m about 5’4 (163cm) btw.
So with these answers, you could be a TR. For TR’s you want to look for generally small bones and kibbe double curve. So if you need to accommodate those qualities, TR could be a great place to start.

I feel like every time I take the quiz, I’m more confused. It’s like the types my answers are leaning towards are just not ones I could be based on height or something else. Based on my answers for the time I took the quiz, okay be a DC but I’m 5’8”-5’9” and I wear a size 10-11 shoe so my feet are rather large. Also, people always think I’m way taller than I am and I’m usually described as strong looking and people have called me words like “brickhouse, Amazon, bombshell. People say I have an hourglass figure but I think I lean more towards a pear body type. Here are the answers I got this last time:

Hi Jaime! So at 5 ft 8-9 you would only have three options: Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and Flamboyant Natural. Hourglass and pear shapes aren’t really factors per se in kibbe. Based on your answers and your description of yourself I would start with a curvy Flamboyant Natural ( Tracy Ellis Ross is a great example of this). Flamboyant Naturals can absolutely have curve, they just don’t need to accommodate first like say the Soft Dramatics. And since you have a lot of B answers, that is where I would start.The quiz isn’t always the best way to find your ID, since it can be hard to interpret if you don’t have kibbe knowledge already.

So I hesitate to answer this just based on your quiz answers… A lot of people end up with C answers without being a classic, because kibbe can be confusing and its hard to objectively answer. Based on these answers alone, I would say Dramatic Classic because it seems you have a stronger shoulder line and no curve to accommodate. But i would take this answer with a grain of salt.
I have an article on Dramatic Classics here: which might help confirm it.
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-dramatic-classic-style-guide/
Hi! I hope you can help me figure out my body type. Based on my answers I am either a Soft Natural or Dramatic Classic. My height it just under 5’8 (usually round up).

So Kibbe has adjusted the height parameters a bit, and at 5 ft 8 you would really only have three options: Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. Now if you’re closer to 5 ft 7, you could be Dramatic Classic. But he has suggested Soft Naturals cannot be 5 ft 7 or up. So unless C answers are dominant they are generally ignored, because they become the “go-to” answers. Now based on your skeleton answers I would say in the natural family, but the fact you marked E for the shoulder question gives me pause on that recommendation. I would explore the Soft Dramatic (it doesn’t need to be diva chic per se), but it does have soft flesh over sharper bones which could explain the diversity of your answers. Let me know if you have any questions.

At 5 ft 6 inches and your answers, I would explore the Dramatic Classic first. They tend to have some vertical and a stronger shoulder line and are moderately balanced. I have a guide on them here: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-dramatic-classic-style-guide/
But i wouldn’t use the quiz as the final decision, since it is more about a holistic head to toe view and can depend on you answer/see yourself.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Gabrielle!
Thank you so much for this test! You really helped me understand this Kibbie typing system much better! Although I’ve always felt like I lent more towards soft gamine, I got theatrical romantic from the results, but I don’t feel quite connected to that type. I feel like I lack that glamourous, mature womanly look that theatrical romantics have. I’ve always looked more like a quirky teenage girl. My personal style is also pretty dramatic and edgy, which seems to not match well with theatrical romantic type. And I feel like I have much more sharpness to my facial features than a theatrical romantic would. So I would appreciate a little clarification!

So I wouldn’t worry about your face answers all that much, since Kibbe has removed faces from typing anyway. Based on your answers you could be Theatrical Romantic. They don’t always have that “Womanly/sultry” look like Salma Hayek. Selena Gomez has been recently verified as TR by Kibbe and she has a very ingenue vibe. Sharpness in the face is common for TR’s especially in the nose and jaw. However, if you feel you have contrast (yin and yang) in your face and body then Soft Gamine could be a better fit. Also, you could check out my video on essences which might help fill in the gap between your face and your kibbe body ID.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTb816B18c&t=525s
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Gabrielle, hope you’re well.
I have a question regarding height/vertical line
Can soft naturals be on the shorter side? Or does my height immediately put me into either the gamine or romantic groups?
Thank you 🙂
Soft Naturals are frequently on the shorter side and do not have to maintain vertical. They are usually 5 ft 6 and under, hope this helps!
Learning about Kibbe and Kitchener has been really eye-opening for me in terms of finally figuring out why I don’t feel like myself in anything I wear: there is a huge variation between my face and body!
Going from the neck down, I am unquestionably a soft classic, and the clothing recommended for soft classics looks amazing on my body. But from the neck up, I am a Kibbe dramatic classic, or a Kitchener natural with elements of gamine and classic. So nothing feels right, because the clothing that looks right on my body doesn’t blend well with the yang in my face, and the clothing that looks right with my face doesn’t drape well over the yin in my body.
And my color/season is deep winter, so I definitely don’t look right in the earth tones recommended for natural essences. I do best in pastels and jewel tones, which often look too yin for my facial structure.
What’s a girl to do?!
Hello,
I’m 170cm (5’7) and weigh 62kg (137lbs) at the moment, when I gain weight I mostly gain it on my tummy and hips. My head is quite small in comparison to my body.
I have a very large bust (70F) and never gain or lose weight in this area
Because of my wider hips and bust I’ve always thought that I have an extreme hourglass figure, but after taking the photo and the test I think that I’m more on the moderate side when it comes to hourglass. I’ve been working out 2-3 times a week for 10 years now (i’m 31), but my muscles never look prominent or overly defined.
My shoulders are quite broad/wide, my hands/fingers are a very prominent feature on my body, as they are long and narrow, my wrists and ankles are small
My answers:
1 B
2 B
3 B
4 A
5 C or D

10 D
11 B

Even though most of my answers are C it does not FEEL like I’m a classic-type.
The only thing I know for sure is that im not an E type (because I have friends that are very clearly romantic types and I look nothing like them) an definitely not an A
Thank you so much for your help (I’ve been trying to find out my type for AGES)
Have you considered a curvier Flamboyant Natural. At your height you would already have yang in your bone structure, and most likely vertical to honor. Hourglass shape isn’t really a kibbe thing. But having curves is normal and FN’s can have curves as well (tracy ellis ross, jennifer lawrence).
Hello, wonderful explanations and useful images.
From the quiz I am still unsure of what my ID is, I think somewhere like soft gamine…?
Here are my answers:
Bones
1) C – vertical line (height is 167cm)
2) B – shoulders
3) D – limbs
4) D – hands
Flesh
5) B/C – body shape (slightly broader shoulders but defined waist seems to balance it with hips)
6) B – chest
7) C – waist
8) B/C – hips (fairly straight but almost looks balanced relative to the whole torso)
9) B/D – flesh (B for upper arms and D for thighs)
Face
10) B – jawline
11) D/C – nose (delicate but a little long to be considered small)
12) A/B – cheekbones (prominent but doesn’t look as strong relative to my square jaw)
13) B/D – eyes (rounded but wideset too)
14) C – lips
15) D – cheeks
Much appreciation in advance!
Amanda
Hi Amanda, Based on your height and a lot of your B answers, I’d actually explore the Soft Natural lines as well!
Hi there, thanks so much for this! 🙂 I scored lots of D/E for my body, however my face was mainly C. What would you think I am? Thank you for your help!
This would depend on your height. D/E usually leans romantic but if you are over 5 ft 5 then you would be too tall. I would ignore the face answers, as Kibbe has removed the face from typing.
Hi Gabrielle,
Could you please help me with my results? I’m about 5’2 in height.
Bone structure: 1C, 2C, 3D, 4D
Body flesh: 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C, 9C
Facial features: 10D, 11B, 12B, 13B, 14A, 15C
Thank you kindly!
Hi Shannon, So C answers become really popular and we tend to ignore them unless they are the dominant answer, and yours is right at the line. It seems you might have some yin to body and bones, and at your height I would start with exploring Soft Gamine or Soft Classic. Soft classic has moderation and balance to accommodate, whereas soft gamine has petit (not petit sizing, just small bones). Hope this helps
hi! so my answers lead me to believe im a soft dramatic, numbers wise. however the placement of the answers, and knowing how I do actually look, I feel like I identify with something in the gamine range.
I’m 5’4, people often guess I’m 5’6 or 5’7. people have always thought I am younger than I am because of how narrow, long and boyish my body frame is, combined with my large eyes.
people either guess that I am 15 or 25. I’m 21.
anyway here are my answers! plz help!!!
Bone Structure
1B: long legs & small head
2A
3A
4A
Body Flesh:
5A/5C: I have no idea
6B: small but broad bust line
7A: long waistline boyishly tapered
8A: hips straight, narrow, tapered
9B: long arms and thighs
Facial Features:
10D: sloped narrow jawline
11E: nose rounded & softly wide
12B: cheekbones high & prominent
13D: eyes rounded & slightly close together
14D: lips slightly full
15B: cheeks get puffier when I gain weight
No, your answers do not indicate Soft Dramatic. Kibbe has tweaked how he identifies vertical line to include the space between your shoulders and knees and how visually long it is. So even if you look taller, it doesn’t necessarily equate to yang or vertical. Based on your description I would actually explore the flamboyant gamine.

Hi Elena, So based on these answers I would put you in the classic family. However, if you’re young your body is still changing and it can be especially hard to answer these types of questions. I would ultimately try the soft classic and soft gamine style lines and take photos of each to see which harmonize better. Soft gamines have more contrast and juxtaposition in their bodies, and they also accommodate petit (which doesn’t mean petit shopping but in Kibbe means overall small bones) whereas soft classics have a lot of balance and moderation. I’d also need you height to confirm whether this was correct.
Best,
Gabrielle
Beautiful website!!! So informative and high-quality information. Thank you! May I am for some guidance!? I scored 5D, 3E, 3C, and 4B… What a you take! I’m only 5’1, and I gain weight into chest, inner thigh and hips, my shoulders become more rounded and fleshy and my face gets round. …I have very long legs and arms for my height, small head, short waisted (as in my pelvis touches my lower rib) my ankles and wrists are well defined and bony and never gain weight. (calves and forearms too) I have a good amount of muscle and fat typical endo-meso. … I just can’t figure it out !
Love and happy summer.
Hi Chantel, it’s a little difficult because I don’t know where your answers fall for each question. But going over of the mixed answers and your description and height I would explore the gamine family. I would start with the flamboyant gamine. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi! Sorry if I spell something wrong, I’m from Latin America. First I want to thank you for this guide, It was helpful and well made! I would like to share my answers with you because I’m unsure about the result. I’ll list them now:

15. C
The result is Romantic but I don’t feel like I fit in that category, I’m mostly soft because I’ve never exercise, I have a waistline but I’m not really an hourglass, I look kind of square but like round, if that makes sense, I have more fat in my upper arms so it makes my upperbody looks bigger than my bottom. And my face is mostly round as well, It doesn’t have any feature that stands out, so still not very sure what my body type is.
I really hope you can read my comment and I’ll wait for the answer, but thanks you nevertheless! Hope you have a great week! 🙂
Hi Melanie, can you include your height please?
Hello! I was wondering if I would be a softer/curvier Flamboyant Natural? I’m 5’9″ and people usually tend to think I’m taller than I am, but I don’t think I look especially long and narrow, and while I’m a bit overweight now, I’ve been referred to both as modelesque (back in the 90s pre-Kate Moss era) and “a big girl” when I was at my ideal weight. I feel like my bust/hips/butt are curvier than the pictures I’ve seen of this type, but while I have a waist, it’s not this deep indent either.

Hi Maggie, yes I would say based on your answers and your description you should look into Flamboyant Natural. Curvier FN’s definitely exist ( tracy ellis ross is a great example). Bust and butt really don’t factor into Kibbe, it’s more about the outline of your body, the shapes your body creates, and your yin/yang balance.

Hi Emily! Can you please include your height?
@Gabrielle Arruda, my height is currently around 5’2, however since I’m still a teenager, I haven’t reached my adult height yet. I know the kibbe system is meant for once you’re fully done developing so it’s more accurate, but I’ve been really struggling with finding clothes that look “right” on me, and I thought this might still give me a bit more guidance and confidence, even if it’s not 100%.
Thank you so much for the quick reply! 🙂
So yes, the Kibbe body type is meant more for creating your “final style” or forever style, and it’s suggested that if you’re under 25 to just have fun with fashion and trends and not worry about your body type or dressing for your lines. So any suggestion made when you haven’t reached your final height, is really just a temporary suggestion at best. Because ultimately height and vertical line drastically impact your ID options. If you’re just looking for some style suggestions for now (understanding it will probably change), I would explore the the soft gamine first (although this may not carry on to adulthood). Or potentially the soft natural ( I’m not sure if you have soft yang based on your answers). My ultimate advice though would be to just explore and try to find the things you feel good in, and elimnated things you’re not vibing with. Honing a personal style takes years, and playing around with fashion when you’re younger is a great way to start exploring ALL the options so that you have data and experience when you do want to refine it. Let me know if you have any questions!
@Gabrielle Arruda, also now that I’m comparing a bit closer, I think I might’ve misjudged some of my features. I’m sorry if this makes anything more complicated, but I wanted to get my result as close as I could. I’ll relist my answers and add my height and measurements. 🙂

I would explore the gamine family first! Seems like you have small bones/ accommodate kibbe petit (which doesn’t mean you shop in the petit section per se). And I would personally explore flamboyant gamine first, based on your shoulder answers and not an overwhelming amount of answers that indicate curve. Hope this helps!
Hey Gabrielle!
Thanks so much for creating such great content!
I recently tried to comment on here and I think there may have been a technical error or something because it didn’t post but I was hoping you could help me figure out my kibbe body type? I am around 5.4 I look my height and I’m in my early twenties. I just recently learned about Kibbe and am deep in the rabbit hole.
I have always thought of myself as more broad due to my shoulders and stature but my friends and family tell me that my curves are my primary characteristic as I have a very prominent bust and a soft hourglass shape.
This got me thinking that maybe my shoulders aren’t as prominent a feature as I thought they were; measurements wise they’re the same width as my hips but they do have an openness. I am reluctant to assign myself anything because my scores confuse me, even after retaking the test a few times.
My problem is that romantics are known for looking delicate and I look quite athletic and strong, but naturals are known for having limited soft or curvy features and my face and flesh are mostly yin. I have a natural, gamine, romantic essence. Here are my scores!
Bone:
1- c
2- b
3- c
4- b
Flesh:
5- d
6- e
7- d
8- c
9- b
Face:
10- c
11- c
12- c
13- d
14- d
15- d
So overall it is a-0, b-3, c-5, d-5, and e-1. From what I’ve learned so far the bone structure is more important for Kibbe ID than the face or flesh so I guess I’d be in the natural family? But I’d be a soft natural due to my curves? I think the most flattering pieces on my are open necklines and fabrics that sort of hug my upper body and curves, with more loose flowy material for my lower half. (sorry this is so long I’ve been diving deep in all this stuff for too long haha) Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!!
Hi Tara, just based on your answers and your descriptions it sounds like Soft Natural is a good place to start. I personally avoid using words like “delicate” or “brick lick” to describe any IDs, as I think it causes bias. The naturals need that width accommodation, it doesn’t mean that have crazy big shoulders, just that openness you mentioned. I have a guide on soft naturals:
https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-natural-ultimate-style-guide/
And it sounds like you’ve already pinpointed a lot of the best pieces for your body. Hope this helps!
Hi,
* Just noticed that the numbering in my previous comment wasn’t very clear, and I was missing #15. here it is again- I’m also 5’3 and slim/petite… leaning towards soft classic or maybe soft natural?

Based on your answers I think you can eliminate soft natural- they have kibbe width which is the opposite of “kibbe petit”. It sounds like you have small bones which would be a petit accommodation in kibbe. I would explore the gamine family, and start with the soft gamine since you have some yin/curve in your answers.

I am thinking classic….gamine?
Hi, so cool you and your daughter can share this! At 5 ft 8 you would have automatic yang/vertical, which means you could only be Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Drammatic. Based on these answers I would explore the dramatic or flamboyant natural first. To determine which one of these apply, you’d need to determine whether you have kibbe width or not (I have a video on this). Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi! Love your test, definitely one of the more easily understood tests I’ve seen. I’m definitely overthinking at this point, but here are my answers.
Bone Structure: C C E B
Body Flesh: D D D D E
Facial Features: C E E E D E
I’m 5’6″. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi! I think I’m a Dramatic Classic? But am not entirely sure. Wondering if you can help?
For context, I’m 5’8.5″ but have been told I look slightly taller. I’m a 6/8 but have been told I look slimmer. My arms and legs look slim and toned (muscular when I flex or am actively using my muscles, slim when I’m just relaxing). I carry most of my weight around the muffin top area, my upper thighs, and my bum. My waist is moderately defined and I have somewhat thin bones, except my ribcage which is somewhat broader than the rest of my bones. I think I have some Kibbe width in my shoulder area as well as some Kibbe curve in my lower body. I wouldn’t say either of these two traits is more dominant than the other.
My answers are:
Bones: BCBA
Flesh: CBCCB
Face: ACCCDA
I ~think~ I fall into the Dramatic Classic category, but I’m not sure if my height/vertical line disqualifies me. Do you have any advice? Many thanks in advance!
At your height, you would be too tall for the classic family, as your height would give you automatic vertical/yang. I would explore the flamboyant natural based on your answers and height. HOpe that helps

Yes Soft Gamine or Soft Natural would be where I would start based on these answers. You’d have to deteremine if you have “kibbe width” or not. SN’s have width in the upper shoulders/torsos, which you B answers indicate. However, it can be incredibly difficult to be objective, so I would explore both SG and SN
Hi Gabriella!
I am torn between R and SG but maybe I am way off here. Hoping to get a better idea with your expertise. I am just shy 5’5. I do have violin hips and broad but sloping shoulders, which I feel is throwing me off. Thank you!

Also, my height is 5’0. I don’t know if it helps but people often think that I’m cute, probably because of my round face, my height and my littles feets and hands. Sometimes, people think I do my height, sometimes they think I’m more petite. I suppose it depends on what I’m wear and the “vision” of the people with their own height. I have a light waist definition but it’s more defined if I do work-out and if I do not bloating. That’s the reason why I hesitate with those answers.
PS : sorry if my english are bad, it’s not my first language :/
I would start with exploring the soft gamine, it sounds like you need to accomodate petit (which just means smaller bones in Kibbe, not petit shopping section), and that you have some softness/yin curve to your body.

I would explore the soft natural first! It looks like you have kibbe width based on these answers (which can be hard to answer correctly), and curve to accomdoate. I have an article on the SN here: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-natural-ultimate-style-guide/

So looking at this I thought I would be a soft natural maybe but I’m a good 5’8 and especially because of my wider shoulders I think my head looks moderate or even slightly small in comparison so if I understand right, that doesn’t fit in with soft naturals (?). The closest I feel might be soft dramatic but I don’t have any As…
Thank you so much for all the resources you put out there!
No your comment didn’t disappear, it just needs to manually approved, and it hadn’t been yet. Based on your answers you would be too tall for soft natural. But I would explore the Flamboyant Natural. THere are many curvier flamboyant naturals out there (tracy ellis ross, and jennifer lawrence). Ultimately if you feel you need waist emphasis because you are curvier but an FN, you can just apply some of the soft natural light waist emphasis to meet in the middle. You’d still be an FN, but the style suggestions can be tailored to your unique body, in my personal experience. But ultimately, you’d still want to accommodate your kibbe width (B answers) and vertical first.
Hi!
Great article btw. Unfortunately I am having some confusion regarding my own body type. I am pretty short but generally most of my friends who first saw me in photos agree that I appear much taller than I actually am. While I first considered Soft Dramatic because of the relative abundance of A answers, I don’t fit the criteria for being over 5’5 (I’m 5’0) and I am not curvaceous by any means, and tend to be a bit more boyish in shape. Flamboyant Gamine would have been my next bet, but comparing myself to some of the confirmed FG ladies made me second guess, as I am not angular in the face, rather I have full cheeks and a soft and round jaw, plus I generally have a relatively moderate to long vertical line.
Here’s my answers to the quiz!

So at 5 ft 0 it would be unlikely that you need to accommodate vertical (even if you do look taller in photos). Soft Dramatics don’t have limits for how short they can be, but the shorter you are the less likely it is you have vertical to take into consideration. Kibbe curve is a lot different than being “curvaceous”. Based on these answers I would look at Flamboyant Gamine. FG’s can look very different from one another, especially because their yin/yang combo can be different. FG’s accommodate petit (which doesn’t mean you shop in the petit section, it just means smaller bone sizes (which it sounds like you could have). And they also have elongation, often found in their torsos, legs, or arms (which is why people may think you are taller than you are). If your face doesn’t match the description, I would look into supplementing kibbe ID with your facial essence (kitchener). I have a video and article on that here: https://gabriellearruda.com/the-7-style-essences-explained/ ( i highly recommend watching the video as well). hope that helps!
Hello!
I’ve been taking this test repeatedly every few days to try and figure out what I am, and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Classic family. I’m leaning a little more towards being a dramatic classic, but I’m unsure because I don’t have many C’s in my face shape.
Bone Structure/Skeleton: 1B, 2D, 3B, 4A
Body Flesh: 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C, 9D
Facial Features: 10C, 11B, 12B, 13D, 14E, 15C
I’m 5’6″ (167 cm)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So taking the test every few days is not something I would recommend. Starting to learn the unique terminology Kibbe uses to describe the body (yin/yang, width, curve and petit in kibbe world) is a much better step. I go over a lot of this on my tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign?lang=en
Based on your shoulder answers and lack of A answers, DC isn’t a stand out. But your height works for it, so many it’s just those answers that is throwing me. I’d check out my tiktok on DC’s and go from there.
Hi Gabrielle,
I have taken this quiz multiple times both with and without outside help. The following answers are the most correct as I have now lost a lot of weight.

Hey ~
How do you answer if your arms are long and your legs are medium. Also your feet are long and narrow but your hands are small and wide? I’m not a feminine type but I get a lot of D E answers for my face. I hope you can help me.

Initially I figured a Gamine subtype because of my height, but wondering if I could be Dramatic Classic? It feels more like me, but I welcome your input.
Thank you!
It is less likely you are dramatic classic (although not impossible). Because of your smaller height you would most likely accommodate petit (small bones, not petit sizing in fashion) and would not accommodate balance/moderation because of your smaller bone size. I would explore the flamboyant gamine first because your answers seem to lean a bit more yang with all the A’s. Flamboyant gamines also do structured pieces similar to DC, but they need more horizontal breaks within the looks, because they don’t have the vertical that a DC has.
Hi there! I’ve spent more than an hour doing these tests LOL
Can you help me? I’ve looked at old and current photos — big weight difference — to try to find an accurate match. My results seem a bit unusual but I think I look a bit unusual lol, in a good way. I’m very tall 6’0, long legs and arms, short waist, but very very high hips making my torso look a bit weird. When I gain weight it’s very prominent in my torso and face. When I’m very thin I still look soft rather than muscular. My legs always look lean/muscular a even with weight gain, but they are the only muscular looking part of my body.

I’ve ID’d myself as natural or flamboyant gamine, but I don’t think FG clothing style would suit my body very well. The natural style seems to be more accurate, at least for my own style. It was hard to tell about facial features for me with the photos considering I’ve been told to have strong cheek bones, but in my photo it didn’t seem to show that, esp. compared to photos. Another question I had is re mostly C’s just for Body flesh (I felt that I was somewhat between B and C) but I don’t feel like C fits me for anything other than what I put above, so classic seemed out of the question too. PS, I am quite short (5 ft, 2 in) Most people are surprised by my height (thinking that I am actually taller), but in my photo and according to the descriptions, I would say that I look on the shorter side (maybe a few inches taller than my real height). Thanks for you pictures and explanations! If you have some suggestions, that would be fantastic!
I would start with the soft natural ID, you seem to have blunt yang and don’t require vertical accommodation, so that should be a good place to start. I have a guide on the SN here: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-natural-ultimate-style-guide/
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you; really appreciate your feedback!

Hell there my name is Carine, I tried taking the test but am thoroughly confused as to my type. I always thought I was FG or maybe Pure G, but I’ve gained weight and it makes it harder to figure it out. Would you sharing your thoughts? My answers are as follows:
Bone Structure: B,E,B,C
Body Flesh: C,C,C,C,C
Facial Features: C,B,B,C,E,D
I am 5”1 but look taller with my long legs/arms but short torso. I have a fuller bust since the weight gain. I weigh 167 (but have started a workout regime?.
Please if you are able to help, I thank you in advance! Also thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge and inspiration ❤️
I think you were right about exploring the gamine family based on these answers. I would look at Flamboyant gamine first.
Hi Gabrielle,
I’m a recent grad and I am trying to clean out my closet and create a staple wardrobe and have been drawn to your kibbe articles for some guidance. I mention this to say that I am younger than 25 so I do worry if this affects my typing. I’ve gotten pretty mixed up in this quiz and could use your second opinion.
I’m 5’7″ and I think I’m short-waisted and carry most of my weight in my upper thigh with ‘hip dips’ and I think my cheeks are the emphasis of my face.
Here my results
Bone: A1 B1 C1 D0 E1

From my results I seem to be some sort of classic. I’ve had some hesitancy though since I’ve heard this is a common mistyping.
Thank you for looking into it! Keep up the good work!
Hi! I’m unsure of my results. I have a pretty angular face (most of the answers were a and c) but my bone structure was mostly b, and my flesh was mostly d.
I cannot give you an opinion on this without your height, and where each answer is in the section. Thanks.
Hi, I think I’m a classic but I just wanted to double-check. I’m 5.4 or 165 cm.

So yes you have a lot of C answers, so it is possible you are a classic… However, when people first do the test they often default to C answers, which can kind of skew the results. Your first answer about vertical line (shoulders to knees) is that you appear smaller than you actually are. I might also explore the soft gamine. They accommodate petit and curve (not petit clothing, just smaller bone size). Or potentially the soft classic (although that is frequently mistyped, so it may take some exploration). I have a guide on the soft classic that might help: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-classic-style-guide/
Hi, Gabrielle! I was wondering if you could help type me? I think I’m a soft gamine, but the first time I took the quiz I typed myself as dramatic classic. I kinda hated all the style lines for DC. Soft gamine feels a lot more *me,* and looks a lot more like my face type. So I did it again with a bit more openness instead of body judgement… these are my answers
Bone structure:
1. B

I am 5’4”, long limbs short torso, if that helps at all! Thank you for your consideration and knowledge <3
Hi, yes these answers don’t lean me towards DC. I would definitely explore the soft gamine based on these answers/your description. It sounds like you have contrasted features and some curve to accommodate. Hope this helps!
@Gabrielle Arruda, thanks so much! Super helpful to have a second opinion.

Hi! I find it hard to figure out my answers because I have put on some weight. I believed i was a classic, but after looking up the kibbie IDs when “plus size” I think I might be a soft natural or a classic. The reason I am unsure is because a classic is rare…

I have to assume that I am a slightly a-typical TR, having so many B answers.
I would need your height and where these answers were to give you feedback.
Wish I could amend my previous comment, I forgot to include my height, which is 4’9″, and I suppose I should break up my results by section, lol. While I do have some slight vertical, being so short, it doesn’t make me look tall or even average height, just not quite as short as I am. I believe that I am a theatrical romantic with added bluntness, rather than added sharpness, if that makes any sense.

So you could be a TR, but I would also explore the Soft Natural. (they do not have vertical and can often appear petit). But based on your B answers and your “blutness” you mention, it might be worth exploring. IF you feel you have small bones, and need to accommodate kibbe petit, then I would look into the gamines or TR.

So at your height you automatically have vertical, which means you can only be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Based on your B bone answers, I’m leaning towards a curvy Flamboyant natural (like Tracy Ellis Ross). But you could also explore the soft dramatic
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you so much for your feedback Gabrielle. I really appreciate it. I don’t really fit in Flamboyant Natural physical characteristics.So I checked out the soft dramatic and I checked almost all the boxes. Thank you again and I really love your content on youtube!?
Hi, can you help type me. i have mostly D’s that would make me theatrical romantic but I’m very skinny and don’t have a round bust line and butt. So I’m confused I have a long torso and a long neck and have a very tiny waist and short legs.

You could be a theatrical romantic, but I would also explore the soft gamine. When you have a mix of answers (yang and yin- your A answers and your D answers) that can sometimes be the contrast or combo of the gamines.
Hi! Would you be able to help me with my results?If it helps I look like the girl in green in the graphic in terms of the straightness of my upper body in comparison to my waist (smaller chest (c/d) and much bigger hips).I’m thinking romantic?

Hey there! I am not quite sure about the results. Could you maybe help me?
For reference, I am 181 cm (approx 5 ft 11 in) and I weigh about 61 kgs/ 135 lbs. I am slightly muscular with a pretty defined waist.
My results are:

2. either C or D
3. A (I have very long legs and a very short torso)
4. A
Body flesh:
5. C or D

Yes, based on these answers Romantic would be my first thought. I’d explor the romantic style lines and see if they fit. It can be tricky to use the quiz in the beginning, so if they aren’t working out, feel free to write back.

You are such a great writer! I like this typing system much more than the fruits, it feels more complete and like it’s just information instead of judgement.
I have your “Intro to Kibbe Body Types” and “Kibbe Weight Gain Patterns + Plus Size Examples” open in another window. I think I’m a Soft Dramatic. Very lush Yin, but too tall to be a Theatrical Romantic which is what I got from the test alone.
I’m 5’9″ and here are my results.
Bone Structure:
1. B
2. E
3. A/B (long arms but neither very narrow or broad)
4. A
Body Flesh:
5. E
6. E/d (Bust has always been more prominent than my waist but fullness might be exaggerated by my current weight)
7. D

Based on these answers I would agree that Soft Dramatic is a great place to start. I’m glad the kibbe system is working for you, and thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Gabrielle!
Would love your help with figuring out my Kibbe ID. I’m about 5’5″ and have more of a pear-shaped body. My shoulders are slightly wider than my waist and narrower than my hips, but my hips are much wider than my waist.
Here are my answers:
Bone Structue/Skeleton
1. D
2. C
3. D
4. C
Body Flesh
5. D
6. B
7. D
8. D
9. D
Facial Features
10. C
11. C
12. C

So having hip curve doesn’t necessarily translate to kibbe “double curve”- which is the romantic dominant trait. I have a video on kibbe curve: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7055377078169963823?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1 (There is also a part 2).
If you find you have double curve, explore the Romantic. If not, then I’d look into the soft classic
Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for this resource!
I was wondering whether I am a pure dramatic as I am 5’6’’ and I got mostly As.

I am also rather thin weighing around 58 kg.
Again thank you so much :))
You could be a dramatic, they accommodate vertical. I would also explore the dramatic classic as a possibility as well they accmmodate vertical and balance and you have a decent amount of C answers. But just know the quiz isn’t the most accurate method in the beginning, it can be difficult to answer objectively, that’s why I suggest exploring the DC and D lines.
Good day, Ms Gabrielle!
Would love to hear your advice for my ID, please? I find trouble to define my type since some results from online quiz defined me as Soft Natural or Soft Gamine.
My height is in between 5’6 to 5’7, tend to store fat around my bottom parts, waist and bust when gaining weight. Currently my weight is 61 kg, here are my answers to quiz :
Bone structure
1. B
2. B
3. B
4. B
Body flesh
5. D
6. C
7. D or E (my waist is defined but idk if it’s slight or rounded, when I saw my silhouette I still got S shape)
8. E
9. D or E (my arms tend to bit muscular but my thighs are quite softy, both arms and thighs look wide and large compare to other body)
Facial
10. E
11. B
12. A
13. C
14. D or E ( quite confusing if my lips full enough or not)
15. D
Thanks a bunch and much love for your help!
So at 5 ft 7 you would actually be (according to new kibbe guidelines) too tall for SN and that would eliminate your need to accommodate petit (which is one of the SG traits). I would explore the flamboyant natural. THere is a big misconception with FNs, and a lot of them are curvy (like Tracy Ellis Ross).

Hi Gabrielle!
Thanks for the great article, your descriptions have definitely really helped clear up some confusion! I definitely lean more on the soft and short side, but I think I’ve got some prominent angularity that makes romantic too soft… but I’m definitely not angular enough for gamine I think haha…. anyway I’m 5’3 and here are my results

Hi Gabriella,
Thank you so much for creating this and for posting such great illustrations to help answer the questions.
I was wondering if you could help type me. I am about 5’6″ and 140lbs (but fairly muscular, so people guess I weight a bit less).
I have a lot of softness in my body and a bit of yang/balance in my face (my nose is pointy from the side angle, but rounded from the front)

I am a little confused about where I fall because when I see examples of my type I don’t really see it. I have the face of a classic but I feel like my body all together is more on the flamboyant natural side… but I also have a bigger chest? Help!

The answer seems very obvious but it doesn’t quite match me, I’ve done this 3 times with myself and with friends helping me. I was first a pure natural, then flamboyant, and now dramatic classic? I think I’m confused about my waist, as its unbelievably short but not necessarily defined even when I’m thin. I’m straight not curvy at all…
thank you so much!
Cayenne
So I see in you commented with different answers in another comment- I think maybe the freely kibbe facebook group would be a better route. It’s very hard to use the quiz when new to kibbe and equally difficult to access your body with a kibbe “lens”. I hesitate to give an opinion and send you on the wrong track. I would explore your vertical line first (your shoulders to your knees) and evaluate whether you really need to accommodate vertical or not. At 5 ft 6 you could even be a flamboyant gamine if you just have some elongation and shoulder shape. But it’s hard to access with the two different sets of answers
Update, I retook the pictures and I got this – still confused as to where I am!

Can you please include your height?
I’m lost 😀
I have no idea what my ID could be or maybe which answer could be wrong at this point.
Skeletal: CDBD
Body flesh: CBCCE
Face: EEBBEE
I’m 1.67 cm tall and 53 kg so rather thin with some good amount of flesh on my arms but small bust that never seems to grow, I store fat all over but hips and legs can go really thick. I ain’t very muscular and have subtle waist definition that can somehow fade with weight gain. My hands ain’t small and rounded but not big either, and shorter than my face. I had no A’s for the entire test, so I look rather rounded than angular overall.
The article is very complete and well explained, I liked it, I just can’t find my ID for some reason.
Thanks in advance,
Celi
Dear Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for all the information about the Kibbe body typing system. I’ve tried a few times and I am confident about my interpretation of my features…

My body looks exactly like a soft gamine, but I do not know how my faci features relate to that since descriptions of SG often refer to big eyes and moderate lips.. but my eyes are rather small and my lips are very full..
Thank you in advance for your help❤️
what is your height? I wouldn’t worry too much about facial features, Kibbe doesn’t even use the face anymore to type. That being said based on these answers I would explore the Soft Natural instead (your B answers indicate more soft yang or the natural family).
Hi Gabriella! I love your channel, and you have helped me so much in honing my personal style. Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into it. I used to think that the only way to be beautiful was to be the sexy hourglass, and you have inspired me to truly embrace my natural lines, whatever they are.
I have taken the test multiple times over the past few months and watched many videos, and I am so confused on what my type is. I have tried romantic, theatrical romantic, and soft gamine lines, and I just feel like none of those fit me well. I have worn theatrical romantic lines for most of my life, and I would get a lot of compliments, but I do feel like the outfits were what people noticed, not me. For reference, I am 27, 5’2.5″, and hispanic with a pear shaped body, super straight and narrow upper body with large hips and thighs. So if you have the time, I would love to hear your interpretation of my results! I also want to apologize for long explanations on most of these answers, I am just very confused on what the results mean.
Bone Structure:
1. B- Even though I am very petite, I seem slightly taller and larger in person and especially in photos. People usually guess I’m around 5’4″ or slightly taller, but I’m 5’2.5″
2. B- I had a really hard time with this one. My shoulders are the widest part of my body, and they are fairly boney. However, they look softer and are still fairly narrow, meaning, they don’t look too much for my frame. I couldn’t tell if they have a slight taper, but they look fairly blunt on the edges to me.
3. D- Long torso and short arms and legs, but legs typically look longer than they are in photos
4. E
Body Flesh:
5. C- I chose this answer, mostly because I feel like none of these answers represent my body shape. In my drawing of my silhouette, I am a long rectangle on top with a very tiny waist emphasis and then just large hips. These large hips make my waist look more defined if I gain weight, though.
6. A
7. A- Again, I have a rectangle shape until my hips, even looking like I have the upper body of a young boy when I’m thin, especially when I was a teenager, but I have a slight waist definition because of my hips.
8. D
9. A or C: My arms look rail thin with barely any flesh to pinch when I’m at my lowest weight, and even when I weighed 20-30 pounds over my current, thin weight, I was told that I still looked really thin, despite gaining weight in my upper arms. But I wasn’t sure how to answer since my thighs do collect more flesh.
Facial Features:
10. D
11. B
12. B
13. A
14. D

I look forward to hearing what you think! Thank you again for your awesome channel and website.
Hi, I would start by exploring the Flamboyant gamine based on these answers. They tend to have some elongation in their bodies, and some yang. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a great example of a “pear-shaped” FG. Hope this helps!
@Gabrielle Arruda,
Thank you so much for getting back to me! I want to say sorry first, because I didn’t realize until after my comment was sent that your name is Gabrielle, not Gabriella, lol.
This is super helpful honestly. You are so kind to offer your suggestions. I do think there is a lot of similarity between Jennifer Love Hewitt’s body type and mine, with the narrowness but pear shape too. I hadn’t even considered this type, honestly. I have been analyzing my wardrobe, and it does seem like I always gravitate to the FG broken up lines, and they look way better on me than the softness and roundness of the SG, TR, and R. It finally makes sense to me why I never felt right in those lines. I feel like I could have found my type, so thank you for this suggestion! It’s so nice to know that just because I have hips doesn’t mean that I am R or immediatley have to dress that way to look sexy. We can be so bias to the way our bodies actually look lol. I will continue to look into this type more and experiment with it! You have a loyal subscriber now for sure. You are the best kibbe + essence + personal style channel out there in my opinion

In all the kibbe tests i’ve done, i always, always, always get typed as a SN. I am 173 cm tall (that’s almost 5’7”) but the thing is, if i had to say what’s more prominent about me between width+length and width+curve, i’d probably say width+length (bc most people think i look taller than i am). But i do have this clear yin undercurrent (fleshiness and curve) that u don’t necessarily see in a FN.
Also FN style doesn‘t suit me at all. SN style on the other hand, fits me like a glove.
Also it makes me mad when people say that i cannot be a SN bc i am 173 cm tall but i’d be a SN if i’d be 171 cm tall??? XD
For them, that automatically erases all my other answers and makes me a FN! There are many things that make u a SN or a FN besides the height right?
Can you give me your opinion on this? I really like your view on these topics and how you go about all the “rules”.
So at this point I think the “name” of your ID is kind of irrelevant. IF we are going by what Kibbe says today and his general philosophy, then yes you are too tall for SN. Height is an important factor just because at a certain height you automatically have a long silhouette which equals yang. SNs are moderate to smaller, and they wouldn’t need to accommodate vertical. However FN’s can absolutely be curvy and benefit from some light waist emphasis ( Jennifer Lawrence, and especially Tracy Ellis Ross is a great example). It sounds like you’ve already used the principles of Kibbe in your own unique manner and benefited from evalauting your yin and yang. At this point I would say it doesn’t matter whether your identify as an FN or an SN because you already know vertical is important, you have width, and you like light waist emphasis. I would consider those three points when picking clothes. And if you need guidance refer to both FN and SN style principles and test them out.

Hi, can you please include your height?
I’m a little confused about my type. I don’t feel like my answers really fit one of them specifically. I’m leaning towards a soft natural. I know when I’m at my ideal weight, I’m typically a little broader, not much curve, and long torso. I’m 5’5 and have relatively large feet (size 9-10). My limbs are pretty short.

Hi Gabrielle!
Thanks your your helpful website. I’ve taken Kibbe tests elsewhere and gotten either SC or SG. I struggle to type myself especially because scoliosis causes my hips/waist to curve different on each side. I am 5’4 and I usually have to wear a size larger in bottoms than I do in my tops.

Hi Nikki, have you explored Soft Natural at all? just based on your answers you have a lot of B answers which leads to the natural family.

Hello Gabrielle.
I have typed myself as SG and SC in the past, but I dont see myself as balanced (classic) and the SG lines don’t seem to particularly suit me. I also wonder if my facial results skew my overall typing, because I have a very young looking face. What do you think of my results? For reference, I am 5’4.

Hey Gabrielle,
so according to the test I’m supposed to be some type of romantic. However, I feel like my face has some features that make me look a bit strict and unapproachable. I’ve been told it’s very recognizable and expressive which I wouldn’t typically see for romantics. Some questions were really hard to answer. Here are my results (sometimes I couldn’t quite decide):

Could you help me understand them please? The more I think about it the more confused I get. 😀
Kind regards,
Vio
So I would need your height to give you feedback if romantic works for your kibbe ID. I’d also recommend you check kitcheners style essences which might help you connect your face with your kibbe ID. I have an article/videos on them here: https://gabriellearruda.com/the-7-style-essences-explained/
Hi Gabrielle!
This article was very helpful, but I’m still not sure about my type because of my weight. Right now I have an extra 3 kg and all my body looks soft and round. I’m 5’0 and all my answers right now look like TR but I don’t have this “woman look” (more girlish look like Victoria Pedretti).

So TR’s aren’t necessarily “womanly”- Vivienne Leigh is kibbes TR example and she has a girly quality to her imo (especially with her shorter hair). But I would explore Soft Gamine and Theatrical romantic and see which one fits more.

My Height is 5’1 / 155cm.
I know my body type is inverted triangle.
I would explore the gamine family and start with the Flamboyant Gamine based on these answers.
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you!
I forgot my manners in the first comment, I apologise for that. When you say explore, what do you mean exactly? I struggle with social cues and often need specific instructions… if it isn’t inconvenient.
Also, other tests have suggested Classic (not necessarily Pure). Is this possible too or do my answers leave no room for anything else other than Gamine?
Hi Gabrielle, love your blog! My answers are C C D E D D C D E C B C C A C. I’m thinking Soft Classic,do you think that’s right? Thanks!
I’d need your height as well!
Hi! Thank you SO much for this! It made the ID´s clearer than before! But – I´m having a hard time truly understanding my result. It looks like I am a Classic, but I feel like my body is a bit more Dramatic classic and my face more soft classic. Could be wrong though, tricky being objective with your self! But is that´s the case, what category do I fall in to? Since Dramatic classic is more yang-focused in the face, and Soft classic is more Ying in the body?
Best regards and would appreciate any insight!

So Kibbe doesn’t use the face anymore to type, so If you think your body is more yang then go with Dramatic Classic. You might also want to explore essences if you feel your face leans more soft. I just did a Tiktok about Ana De Armas who I believe is a Dramatic classic with a lot of yin in her face. You can watch that here if you’re interested: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign/video/7149191491670363434?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
Or the essence article (with videos) might help you explore the balance: https://gabriellearruda.com/the-7-style-essences-explained/

I think this is soft gamine.
I wasn’t 100% on some of my answers.
For some context on these answer, I’m 5’2.5 I would say for sure my face has sharpness to it (prominent cheekbones, square shape face, sharp nose (especially from the side)). I think my eyes are large. My shoulders might or might not have sharpness. I have curves but I don’t think I am very curvy. My fingertips come about 5 inches above my knee. Funny thing is I am 5’2.5 but a game on a VR device guessed I was 5’4″ after asking me to stretch out my arms. Not sure if this indicates my arms a little long or if it means the VR game wasn’t very accurate. I think I look better with bangs and with my natural waves.

Sorry for replying so late. I’m 5’1!
Thank you for the very thorough summary! I remain confused, however. I am 5’7, with small bones, a very short torso and long legs (in relation to the rest–inseam 33.5″). I have been described as Tilda Swinton with a figure. My results are as follows:

So because of your height you would already be introducing an element of yang to your body, because of the length that is created. TR’s are small and delicate and don’t have that elongated yang that a 5 ft 7 tall person would have. A lot of people tend to mistype themselves as a TR, so you’re not alone and just because you’re not a TR doesn’t mean some of thos elements you might be drawn to wouldn’t work. I would explore the Soft Dramati and then I would also explore the angelic essence (it’s a yin/yang system that is different than kibbe) but could link your Tilda Swinton reference and your desire to wear more flowy fabrics (like TRs). I have a video on the angelic here: https://youtu.be/iICE-gW8rIk
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thanks for your suggestions–despite the height, I have small bird bones–I wear a size 6 glove and 7 shoe (USA sizes). I do lean toward the angelic essence. I am not comfortable wearing figure hugging or exposing styles, yet with boobs and hips, straight lines make me look frumpy and fat. I’ll try for the flowy. 🙂
Hi there Gabriella,
I was hoping to get some help with my results. I’m currently struggling with whether I’m part of the Naturals or a DC with some width? My bones are quite prominent on my limbs, and even though I pull on weight it is usually most noticeable from the waist down.
My height s 5’5″
Here are my answers:
Bones:

Flesh
5C, 6B, 7C, 8C, 9C
Face
10C, 11B, 12C, 13C, 14B, 15B
Thank you very much for your time!
Based on these answers I would explore the natural family. DC’s won’t have “kibbe width” so if you feel you have openness in yout upper back/shoulder area then naturals would be the most likely family!
Hello! I think this is fascinating and would love your opinion! Here are my answers:

I am between 5’2 and 5’3.
Based on these answers I would explore the soft gamine, it seems like you have kibbe petit (generally small bones) and curve to accomodate.
Hi there, still struggling with my kibbe. Have always thought I’m a soft classic, but sometimes feel the structured/yang-ness of those clothes can be too much on my frame… makes me lean to TR?

Soft classics are not dressing in “yang” pieces. Actually individual clothes don’t even have ID’s, its’ really more about the head to toe. SC’s dress with balance and curve. TRs accommodate petit (generally small bones) which SC’s do not have (because they have balance). and I’d need your height though to give you feedback. Based on these answers SC seems more likely but it can be difficult to accurately answer when beginning your kibbe journey.
Hi I loved how comprehensive the quiz was, especially with the descriptions.
But I’m still struggling to get the results, and the charts definitely threw me off.
I am 5’7″ and 145lbs (66kgs). Also, something that might help: my vertical line is not very prominent because of a smaller torso, but I have visibly longer limbs.
Here are my results!
I see a lot of ‘B’s but I can’t tell if I’m more of a Flamboyant Natural or a Soft Natural.

So the test really isn’t used anymore because it’s really hard to get a correct ID from it, and Kibbe has moved on to other methods. Based on these ansewrs I would explore the Romantic Id, but don’t take that as a final ID. I’d explore the lines and if you have double curve next
May I have your insight? I am 63.5 inches tall, when I gain weight, I gain all over. Trying to find my body type has been frustrating. Someone suggested your YT channel in the Kibbe subreddit. I watched several of your videos and I love your delivery!!! Please and thank you.
Bones:

Hi Amber, I didn’t see a previous comment from you before this one, but sorry to have kept you waiting. The kibbe quiz isn’t always the most direct way to figure out your kibbe ID. And if you’ve posted photos in the kibbe subreddit, I’d take those answers first and explore the style lines. But I’m really glad you like the videos! Based on these answers it does look like you need to accommodate curve, and because of your height and variety of mixed answers, I would start with exploring the Soft Gamine style lines first. They accommodate curve and kibbe petit (which petit you can’t see in the line drawing, but roughly looks like smaller bones, which your answers lean towards). I hope that helps! If it’s not lining up feel free to respond to this comment with why it is or isn’t working and we can explore the next steps!

Wow this is so difficult. I’ve taken this quiz twice on two different websites… It seems like I am ending up between Soft Natural and Soft Classic. I feel like the soft classic tends to work more for me based off the styles… but it’s hard to say. This rabbit hole has made me aware of all of my dressing deficiencies and I’ve never really been that good at figuring it out. I have broad shoulders and a long torso… so I’m not sure if I really am a soft classic since it seems to be about balance?
Anyway, here are my answers from your page… thoughts?

Hi, I’d really need your height to give your proper feedback! Thanks
@Gabrielle Arruda, Yes certainly … I’m sorry! It’s 5’4″
Hi,
Just found you on YouTube and now taking a look at your blog posts! Could I please get a bit of feedback on where I might fit in the Dramatic range.
I’m a bit confused because my shoulders are slightly wider than my hips, but look sharpish, not broad and I have a just a little width at the thighs/hips – otherwise I’m stick thin and have never gained weight.
I’m 5’8
1. B
2. A/B – shoulders are wider than hips just a tad, but don’t have any strength/broadness
3. A
4. A
5. A – but short waisted, then long rise.
6. A
7. A but I’m short-waisted.
8. B – not super narrow.
9. A
10. A
11. A
12. A/C – not sure I can tell, I have a long/narrow face.
13. E
14. A
15. A
Thanks for any insights, really appreciate your help.
Hi! I am 154cm. 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6C, 7D, 8D, 9D, 10C, 11E, 12C, 13B, 14E, 15B this is my test. Am I soft classic or not?
You could be a soft classic, but it’s a common mistyping. You might also want to explore the soft gamine and examine if you have petit bones.
Hi Gabrielle!
I’m a tiny bit confused with my results as I seem to have the bone structure of a classic but the flesh of a romantic type.
For reference, I’m around 5’3”. I need waist emphasis in my outfits – it is absolutely fundamental. I look my best when I’m showing off my figure and when my clothes have a bit of structure, though there is a limit to how much “structure” I can pull off. Looser garments often make me look stocky. For example, a flowy silk shirt emphasizes my bust and completely swallows up my entire torso, even if I tuck it into the bottom half of my outfit. In comparison, I look much better with a more fitted, neater shirt. Bulky clothes, such as oversized sweaters, don’t flatter me at all.
If you could help me, I would really really appreciate it.
Bone structure:
1. C
2. C
3. C
4. D
Body Flesh
5. E
6. D or E (my bust looks larger than it actually is, it is constantly commented on and never fails to make itself present regardless of the amount of cleavage I am wearing. In fact, covering myself up only makes my chest look “wider”. However, I do not actually have a very large bra size, so it feels sort of wrong to call myself “busty”)
7. E
8. E (maybe D)
9. E (although comparatively, my thighs are definitely fleshier than my upper arms)
Facial features:
10. C
11. B (though I may have a fixation on my nose; I have never been told to have a large nose, but I do feel like it’s a little long and a little wide)
12. C
13. C
14. E
15. E
Hi, I am 5 feet ten, for my bone structure I had 1 B 2 D 3 A and 4 C. For body flesh mostly C and for facial features mostly D. I really can’t figure out where would fall. Especially because of my height. I would be very grateful if you could help out!
It’s hard to tell without knowing what answers are where. If you could list out the answers that would be better. But just off this, I would lean towards exploring the dramatic.
Hi, so I have gone through the test multiple times and am still confused.. I’m leaning towards soft classic, but I’m 5 ft 7 in, people tell me I look tall, but definitely have short limbs (have to shop in petite for trousers) and am curvy… Answers as follow:
Bones
1C
2C
3E
4C
Body flesh
5D or E
6C or D
7D
8C or D (wide compared to waist, but “boxy” somehow and have hip dips)
9C (i think, my arms are very thin, but my thighs are fleshy)
Face
10B or C (i can never say if my face is round or square, but i have prominent chin)
11E
12D
13C
14C
15C or D
Can you help me, please?
Thanks!

I read my results as getting a soft dramatic but not sure that’s right for me? I don’t really have a big bust/hourglass figure but I have very big hips so not sure how to interpret?
Kibbe is not about bust-hip-waist measurments and you don’t need a larger bust to be an SD. Rachel Weiz is a verified SD and is not busty. You could be a soft dramatic but I think understanding how kibbe curve is defined will help you narrow this down. It’s a continous curve on the top and bottom (kind of creates an “S” shape) in the outline of your body. Bigger hips is more of a yang trait and doesn’t mean you have a curve accommodation.
Hi, I believe that I may be a soft gamine but would like to double check. My results are
1. B
2. D
3. E
4. C

I am also 5’4 if that helps
First of all, just want to say I love your work!
Although I’m beginning to think Kibbe typing doesn’t work for me. Most of my facial features seem to be classic, but I also have a lot of dramatic elements in my body (I’m 5’9”, and very slim, but technically have an hourglass figure if you use my shoulder measurements for the top)

All the actresses people say I resemble physically are Kibbe Flamboyant Naturals, but that’s never matched how I dress, which is primarily Classic with some Dramatic and Ethereal elements (to borrow terms from Kitchener)
Any guidance? 🙂
I would check out the essence videos I created- that might help you merge those two together. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYdilP-qu8wFIpH1pZtr5bw
Hey, I’m really struggling with this. None of the types seem to suit my results…
I have been told all my life that I have interesting/unique/strange proportions/features and such. Of course, this makes these tests very difficult. I had to get a friend to help me fill this out just for another perspective and to deal with tiebreakers.
I’m 5’3 and these were my answers:
Bone Structure: [A2.5,C1,E0.5]
1A
2C
3A
4E (hands) / 4A (feet)
Body Flesh: [C3,D2]

8C
9C
Facial Features: [A1,B1,D2,E2]
10B
11E
12A
13D
14D
15E
Overall:
A) 3.5
B) 1
C) 4
D) 4
E) 2.5
I’m thinking perhaps theatrical romantic, soft dramatic, dramatic classic, or perhaps even soft classic, or soft gamine? hahahahaha the fact that the list of potentials is this long really shows.
If you have any questions that would help you to better gauge my type, ask away 🙂
Most appreciated,
Jasmine T.

I find some of the questions hard to answer. To me, soft gamine makes the most sense. I’m obiously petite and curvy and my facial features is mixed. Although my flesh answers is mostly d, I look muscular and easily get muscle definition. My shoulders have always felt broad to me, but they could be angular with soft flesh on top? I don’t feel like the soft natural lines suit me, they look boring on me. And i don’t think I’m narrow enough for a theatrical romantic. I feel that I drown without weight definition. Can a soft gamine have broad sholders?

Hello there,
I LOVE this post but Im struggling a bit with figuring out my kibbe category.
Here are my answers…
Bone structure
1 A or B I’m 5’8″ but overweight (230 lbs) and with my short arms/legs, I can look short if I’m wearing something that cuts me wrong
2 B I have broad shoulders and though they are soft from weight loss, I still have right angles
3 D I have short arms and legs but a LONG torso, lol. That’s from my Scottish/British heritage)
4 B I have big hands and feet (lol! I wear a size 12 shoe so they look big no matter what I do.)
Flesh
5 D or E I’ve lost a lot of weight (Ive lost 140 lbs) so I’m still very curvy but, it’s kind of awkward I definitely have a pear shape but also, an S curve.
6 D I’ve lost A LOT of weight in my bust, I went from a 42 DDD to a 34 DD and though I have some bust left, a lot of it is extra flesh.
7 E Even when I was heavy, I’ve always maintained a narrowed waistline
8 D or E I’ve always had bigger hips and thighs, I have a soft curve but I’m not 100% sure if I’m more a D or E
9 B or E I struggled with this one. I’ve always had more muscular looking arms, even when heavy but with weightloss, I have more fleshy arms because I have more excess skin.
Facial features – my face didn’t change much except for the amount of flesh on my cheeks and neck. My face went from being round looking and very full to long looking and my cheek bones stand out more.
10 E
11 A
12 B
13 E
14 B
15 D
I thought I was either a soft natural, theatrical romantic, romantic BUT I’m too tall. I might still be a soft natural (barely?) but with my height I fall into 3 categories: flamboyant natural, soft dramatic, or dramatic and I have no clue! I’m thinking soft dramatic but I am not 100% sure, it doesn’t feel right with my proportions.
Sorry for the book but with my weightloss I get to make myself a new wardrobe, since my old wardrobe is way too big and I want to look amd feel good in my clothes. Thank you for taking time to look at my ramblings.
Warm regards,
Amanda

Hi Gabriella,
this is so helpful and interesting!
I’m not quite sure about my type because from my answers it looks like I’m a theatrical romantic, but I’m 5’7. My wrists and ankles are super delicate and I’d say my bone structure is petite, but I’m not small height-wise. Can I ask your advice on it? These are my results:

Hi Gabrielle. I’m having a difficult time figuring out my body type. I have predominantly D and E answers but they fluctuate from my bones looks like I’m a theatrical romantic but when body flesh is added and the face, I’m very Romantic so I’m very confused. I’m 5’4. I have hip dips so I put C on that part. I’d really love some help. Thank you

Hey Gabrielle!
I’ve done this test multiple times and its kind of hard to see myself objectively. I’m 5’2 and around 135 pounds. I think i’m very contrasted because i’ve been told i look short but big at the same time. I do have very soft facial features and my bones are dense and heavy. I think i may be a soft gamine, but i’ve also seen similarities with soft natural and theatrical romantic, which makes this much more confusing. Anyway, I would really apreciate the help trying to figure my ID.
These are the answers
Bone structure: 1B 2B or D 3D 4E
Body flesh: 1D 2B 3D 4B 5D
Facial features: 1E 2E 3B 4D 5E 6E or D
That gave me B5 D5 E5, but that combo isn’t shown this specific way.
Thanks in advance,
Paula.
Hi, my name is Anaghaa and I would love your opinion. Bit of background- I have a very straight up and down figure without too many curves- I clock in at about 169 cm- 5 feet 6 inches, I think. Here are my answers.
1B 3A
3B 3C
2C 2D 2A
From what I can tell, I’m leaning towards FG cause there’s a bit of variation? What do you think?
Hi Gabrielle! Long time reader, first time commenter (sorry, couldn’t help myself aha). I think I’m a true romantic, but would love a second opinion? For reference, I’m 5’4, but I am often told that I look or come across as taller (that being said, could be my large personality).

I took the test earlier and got different results. I did it again with better pictures and what I hope is less bias. The first time I got a theatrical romantic and this time I got Soft Classic. I do feel like either of these could be right. Especially since C is an easy answer to go with when you are unsure.
I appreciate the help. Thank you!
Hello,
is it possible, that this basic test just doesen’t work for some types, because the composed answers do not give much space for non-sterotypical features?
Like, you would need a professional to correct define such bodys, because they know the system, it’s details and how it works together better?
If I make the test nearly all my answers are Ds and Es, an occasional C too. But If I look at example pictures of real poeple, I’m definitly no theatrical romantic (nothing on me is petite) and I am not round and soft and sensual enough for a romantic. I think, I would be a soft natural, given the comparison pictures.
But the test doesen’t lead me anywhere near the natural type, because I’m not overly tall, nor angular nor straight. I have kind of an hourglass shape, but not so perfectly rounded, especially from the waist downwards it’s more like two waves (waist to hipbones, hipbones to tights/butt). Butt/thighs to knee form a smooth flow. Calves are round and muscular and thick and taper strongly to the ankles.
My bone strukture is broad in every part, but not long. My hands and feet are rather short, but broad. My shoulders are broad but round, so they look smaller than they are. My hight ist moderate (167-170 cm), but I look slightly smaller than I am. My arms and legs are rather short.
My face ist broad with no edges, but it hasn’t the softness and roundness oft romantic types. Nothing is overly prominent or out of place, but also not very symmetrical and super harmonic. My face looks a litte like a grumpy to friendly farmer and I have a big and loud laugh. But nothing sensual or erotic or very “feminine” there. My neck is short und thick.
I’m rather strong, even without doing any sports or hard work, my muscles don’t disapear easily. I’m moderate overweight now, but even when I was slim and well trained, I would always have more real weight then poeple would assume (and BMI would always call me overwight). I was always moderate curvy, I always had big thighs and quite the butt. But if i flex my mucles, my thighs were hard, even if they looked very fleshy if not flexed. Now that I’m overwight they have some not-muscle-flesh of course, but still are rather hard.
My breasts were always moderate to a little bigger, but not overly big an never round und very full. They are always sloppy and long, placed rather low, directed more outwards (giving not much cleavage even with a fitting bra).
One of my best bodily features is, that everything ist relatively harmonic together. (But not in the elegant and “everything in the middle” way that is described for C-Types.) If I gain or lose weight, it’s evenly spread. I appear 10-20 kilos lighter than I am and do not become shapeless easily. Even if I get a belly front and sideways I never lose my waist.
So even if there are no “beatuy queen” features, my body ist sturdy, stable, strong, has rather solid flesh / silhouette and everything fits together, no matter what. It’s very useful und convenient. 😀 But I’d like to tickle out ist beauty aspects a little too.
Im rather sure I’m no romantic, because If I wear things like frill carmen necklace, blouse with gathers, puff sleeves or to close body shaped, I look shapeless and clumsy and much bigger than I am, it overwhelmes me. If I wear clear lines, not much contrast (no pattern or very subtle ones), a little lace, an a-skirt, nothing to tight or to short but always a little emphasis on waist look allright or even pretty on me.
Now, sorry for the novel I’ve written. I hope, my wording was not too bad, since english is a foreign language for me.
After all I just hope that you can answer my initial question. Ist it possible, that the test totaly doesen’t work because it’s orientated more on sterotypical types? Could I be a soft natural, if I appear very round and fleshy, but am rather muscular und big-boned underneath? (I know you can’t diagnose me like this, without seeing me. I just want your opinion, if my findings and thoughts make sense.)
I would be very grateful and happy for your answer. 🙂
Best greetings, Mary
Yes, the test was once regarded to show the discrepancies of what you are and what your bias is towards. But it can be helpful imho to see the images (once you have more of a background on terminology) and understanding the process of why the questions are asked and beginning to see your ID photo in new light. But I would consider it one step in your kibbe journey and nothing like a definitive answer. The more kibbe knowledge you have, the more the answers can make sense, but ultimately it’s a journey and if you want a “professional” I would only go directly to Kibbe in NYC for a final determination.

@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you so much!
Hi Gabrielle, I have recently discovered your content and since then I have been watching you daily. Thanks for making it easier for us girls who are not sure how exactly to dress.
I think I have gone through all the kibbe ids for myself (maybe not D) and they all made sense partially, therefore *confused*. I was sure I am a romantic, but I have the more defined shoulders than a traditional romantic and I feel like I have really longs legs for a soft natural + super thin waist that stays the same with weight gain.
I would really appreciate if you can take a look at my results. My height is average-small – 5.3 (1.63m). Also, kind of average weight, not skinny.

So glad you’ve found the info helpful! Based on these answers alone I would explore Soft Natural. A definitive point would be exploring if you have “kibbe width”- based on these answers I would say yes. But SNs have a variety of different “looks” and they do have curve to accommodate. I wouldn’t get too hung up on what you think the SN looks like. If you have curve and width- SN will help!
I’m feeling maybe Classic or Soft Classic
I’m about 5′ 7″

the closest answers in my opinion is a gamine or a classic
gamine because I have balanced A/B and D/E
classic because I have a good number of C too
I’m 5’4″ and weight 97 lbs. according to almost everyone I meet, I look taller than I actually am. many people assume I’m at least 5’6″. but in pictures I look shorter due to my big head. people ask me why do i look so short in pictures, and im like, I also don’t know! determining my vertical length was so confusing, I choose B option because I think people are more accurate than cameras.
my exact options are
bone : B A A D
flesh : C A C D C
face : E B C A E D
there is more angularity in my bones, more moderate in my flesh but roundness in my face.
I personally think that me being East Asian also has to do with the difficulty in determining my answer lol. skinny body, moderate curves but rounded facial features.
this is super confusing but it was fun to do <3

Hello, Gaby!
This test has been so helpfull, thank you so much for leave your comments open. I had so much fun doing this, although I am, as pretty much everyone here, a Little confused with my results. So I’m 1.65 cm or 5,5 but people Tells me I Look taller. Intersting thing, people who said that, are average to shortish, next to a tall person Is very obvious I’m short lol. And I have a voluptuous body, prominent bust and big booty, hips and waist in hourglass proportion, whether I gain or lose weight stays the same, it is difficult to dress because I always thought that I was chubby and the Dysmorphia made me have a completely skewed view of my curves.
So my Answers are mostly E, which would make me a pure romantic, but I feel like I’m not that petite for that and I don’t have any A either. I’ll leave you my answers here and see if you can help me.

Hello,
I did the test 5 years ago and thought I was a soft classic, however, but for the past few months, I’ve been feeling like it’s not meshing completely. I had been stuck between SC, SN and R, but SN lines didn’t look good on me, and I only thought I was one because my shoulder looked broad to me, and I’m moderate in height. However, I have a very small head and big boobs, so it makes my shoulder appear broader, and when I took pictures of myself, I realised that I looked overall broad but in a fleshy way, so my shoulders don’t actually stand out that much. They are also very slopped and rounded.
I did the test again, and your detailed descriptions were very helpful and made me notice things that I hadn’t seen before. From the results, I’m assuming I’m potentially an R ( I do need a lot of waist emphasis), but I’d rather have a second opinion.
Here are my results :

Hi Gabrielle
I scored C dominant in Bone/Skeleton (2 x C, 1 x D + 1 x E). D dominant in Flesh and Facial. Does this confirm SC? Or TR? Second highest for Flesh was C.
Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you for creating this amazing quiz! I wonder if you’re still answering questions and would you be alright with helping me out?

There are no lower height limits with Kibbe, so it’s possible. Although at your height there is also a possiblity for a petite accommodation (small bones not necessarily only height), so I might explore the Soft Gamine as well
Hi!!
Thanks for this detailed article. I’ve been trying to define my ID for a long time and felt I was a SN my test rests point towards it but being 172cm (5,7 3/4), I would disqualify…

I’m dominantly Romantic, though seems like the bone and face are balanced out with some other things?
so I did the photo thing, and used my proportions according to that to answer, but I find it so odd, i have a short waist, legs and arms, and height bc people always tell me i have such long legs and arms, and look tall(in person), but proportionately i dont so that’s funny. But also when other people take photos of me i look short! wow!
My answers kind of confused me tbh.

Hi Gabrielle,
Thanks for this test. I completed it but am having some trouble working out if I’m soft classic or theatrical romantic. For some answers I felt like I was in between c and d.

Based on these answers I would explore the Soft Classic first: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-classic-style-guide/
Hi Gabrielle,
Thanks a lot for this! I’m trying to figure out my type, but my results seem a bit confusing for me.
I have a lot of B and C answers, my hight is 176cm ( 5’9”)
Feels like I have a more defined waistline+curvier hips than a typical (Flamboyant) Natural would have. My shoulders are blunt but only slightly broad. Broader shoulders and a flatter chest than typical Soft Dramatic though.
I had a very hard time typing the features of my face.
Would be so much appreciated to hear some feedback.

Hi I am a little unsure about what I am. I am 5 foot 5 and weight 126 pounds. I have a short torso for my body and long legs. I also have long fingers and feet with an inverted triangle figure. I don’t have a proper hourglass figure as I lack large shapes in my hips but I do have a lightly defined waist with broader shoulders and medium breasts. I believe I am a soft natural as I do have soft body with broad shoulders however I have long limbs and fingers so bit confused…

Hi,

Hi there,
Great article, explained a lot of terms that are kind of confusing. However, I am torn between two IDs: Soft Natural and Theatrical Romantic (or it might be something else cmpletely). I am 5’3” (161 cm), but I don’t know if I have width. I tried to understand that concept but can’t seem to wrap my head around it. My shoulders are wide but in relation to my bust and body , they are proportionate.

Hi Gabrielle,
This is an amazing content, congrats! I do find pretty hard to be accurate looking at my own photos, but is it possible to be a theatrical romantic with a soft classic influence? I am super short (5’0) and quite curvy (so the theatrical is the obvious result) but I do believe to have some facial and bone structures on “C”. I also dont identify 100% with the romantic style. I do like it, but I dont like to emphasize my curves. I agree the soft materials work better, but I am always trying to find some balance and love the classic style. I am also trying to understand how to combine everything I am learning (kibbe, style essences, colour theory) and my brain is about to explode lol
Thanks a lot for your help!

You’re a bit too tall for Flamboyant Gamine, since you’d have automatic vertical. I’d start with dramatic first and then if that’s not working for you try exploring the flamboyant natural

Since I’m unsure about some of my answers, maybe a better overall description of me would help. I’m tall, but people always think I’m much taller than I actually am. No one would say that anything about me is dainty or small – bust, hips, and butt are all big and I’m very fleshy and soft (“womanly”) and physically strong. I have short legs and very short arms, but since I’m still very tall they don’t take away too much from my vertical. I think my face may be moderate/classic since nothing about my face stands out except my big round cheeks when I smile. I’m also between an hourglass and a pear.
If you are still looking at these, thank you so much! I deeply appreciate all the info you give about fashion and embracing how you look!
Best,
Nova

Hi! Thank you for all this info. I am still confused as to my type because I have an even amount of C’s and E’s on my results. As a reference, I am 5’ 2”, but I don’t look petite; in fact, most “petite” sized pants are too short for me so I always purchase a regular inseam. I am also plus-sized. Here are my answers:

-Hey, so im a bit unsure about all of this since I seem to have a very weird body and I just began to explore fashion, I have zero idea whats fitting for me, just kinda sick of wearing baggy shirts that make me look fat.
I would really appreciate your input!
Bone Structure:
here begins the first problem, people usually think im tall, when they see pictures of me although I think it is almost entirely due to me having a small head even for my size (1,62 m or 5 ft 3)
so I would say without head
– 1 probably D or even E but with head B
– 2 B (my shoulders sadly look kinda broad compared to my small head they are otherwise really round and sloped though and my hip/thighs are about the same width)
– 3 D
– 4 D
Body Flesh:
– 5 D
– 6 E
– 7 C (this confuses me, the description of D sounds a lot more like my hips but the pictures doesnt look like my hips at all and I think they all look very round? I guess if I arch back like the model on the right I look like her even though the angle of my hips is sharper/ more pronounced )
– 8 C (hip dips 🙁 )
– 9 D
Facial Features:
10 is really complicated again, I do look like a more angular D and I am to narrow for A but I would still tend to A, C looks way to round
– 10 A (?)
11 My nose is weird its very narrow but is very round at the end, from the pictures I would go with D though since its relatively small
– 11 D (?)
– 12 D
– 13 D/E (very round and big but close together)
– 14 C
– 15 C
since I do have a lot of curves but with sharp edges and so on I would have thought I am soft gamine but the emphasized face sounds like the exact opposite of my face.
Sorry for my rambling Im just really overwhelmed with all this stuff

I´m really confused because some of those answers seem pretty random- and make it hard to find my type, at least for me.
Thank You

Hi, I’m Kate. I am 1.71 cm tall and do a lot of sports (don’t know if it changes anything), but I’m kinda confused about my results. It may be soft dramatic but I don’t think it fits me that well.

It seems I’m a classic at least my skeleton and body flesh point to that, but on facial features I I mostly got E and B, so I’m confused. If someone could help me I would really appriciate it. I’m 5’3. Bone structure/skeleton: 1C, 2C, 3D, 4C. Body flesh: 5C, 6C, 7B, 8B, 9C. Facial features: 10B, 11E, 12E, 13B, 14D, 15E.
Hi Gabrielle,
I’m not sure what my kibbe ID is. I hope you could help me. (I’m 5’7 btw)
I wrote a comment yesterday, but I think I did answer very badly the questions (and also a bit biased), so I did it again.

Help please Gabrielle!
I’ve taken the Kibbe test a half dozen times and I never seem to get anything truly definitive.
I am 5′ 4″ and 108 lbs. Thin all over with a longer body line. The pictures definitely helped, but I’m not finding my particular mix in the descriptions. All over C’s and A’s.
Structure: B, A, C, C
Flesh: A, C, C, A, A
Features: A, E, C, B, A, A
So kibbe doesn’t really use the quiz anymore because it can kind of distort the goals of his system (which is not about boxing you in). Just based on your answers, you could explore the Dramatic Classic or potentially flamboyant gamine. But take the quiz with a grain of salt
Hi,
Here are my answers for the test. It came out to Theatrical Romantic in tallying it, but I’m 5’6. What do you think? Thanks so much!
A=3
B= 2
C= 3
D= 4
E = 5
Hello, I’m hoping you can help point me in the right direction. I’m 5’9 (mostly in torso as my arms and legs don’t seem especially long) and my head/face is longer/broader so I look proportionate. My hands and feet are described as long and narrow. I have a moderately defined waist, full bust and my bust and hips measure almost equal.

Hi Gabrielle! I was wondering if you could offer advice. I have 7 C answers, 4 E answers, and 4 D answers…so i’m dominantly soft classic, but I don’t understand what to do with my D/E answers! Is it more gamine or romantic? I have shorter limbs but a slightly curvier figure…how do i incorporate the gamine/romantic undertones? are there any celebs who have classic w/ romantic/gamine undertones i can look at for inspo?
thank you! I love your blog and youtube channel so much!

Hi Gabrielle, Thanks so much for this post! and also for being so kind to offer to advice on results. Kibbe is a minefield so it’s great to be able to get someone else’ thoughts.

Hiya!
So I keep trying to get a clearer picture of what I am, by retaking the test periodically. I fall somewhere between Soft Classic and Theatrical Romantic. My bones are typically moderate with some yang influence (including face bones), but all of my flesh answers are D (including face flesh).
Like, this time it was 1B/C, 2C, 3B, 4C, 5D/E, 6D, 7D, 8E, 9D, 10C, 11C, 12A/C, 13D, 14C/D, 15D.
So no matter what it’s heavy yin but not full yin, and varying levels of contrast.
What do you think?
Hi, I really need some help determining my body type. I thought that maybe I was a soft dramatic, but looking at my results I really have no idea what type I am. I could really use your help!

hey Gabrielle, thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate all the information you share!
I am so confused about my results because I have a problem answering some questions, as well as interpreting my results, as it is a total mashup of everything. I’d be more than happy to hear some input on my answers. I actually look like a person that was assembled from at least two different people – I have a skinny face with high cheekbones, the face stays skinny even when I am overweight (BMI 26 now) but my eyes are big and upturned and my lips are wide and full, I have skinny fragile hands with long fingers and skinny feet, a very thin neck, thin forearms and lower legs, but huge thighs, a big bum and wide hips plus very bog, fleshy arms, I never fit into jacket sleeves my size. I am 169 cm tall. It makes no sense to me and I truly feel I don’t look good in anything. I only wear oversize jumpers with black leggings. I will appreciate and consider every single comment!
I was so anxious to post that I posted without answers… SORRY! Posting again.

I’m slightly less than 5’10” tall.
I’ve thought I’m on the Natural side, but I have lots of D answers, yet too tall to be a SN I guess?
At 5 ft 10 you can only be D, Fn, or SD. I’d start with being a curvy FN like Tracie Ellis Ross or Jennifer Lawrence

I forgot to add my height so it’s 176cm.
Hi,
I’m confused by my results. They point towards romantic, but I am not small (172cm, so about 5’7). I’ve always felt that I am “big” and i don’t look delicate at all. The fact that I am slightly overweight does not help to figure out my type. (87kg) “Fruit” wise I am some kind of pear, but my waist is not sloping nicely from the upper body towards the hips, but more sharply, like my upper body would be a narrowish rectangle and my hips and thighs area would be another rectangle, much wider, on top of the upper body. My arms are slightly longer, but my legs and torso are relatively short. I’ve been told that I look slightly stately when I walk, but not sure if that is the size and type of my body or just the way i walk.
My answers are:
1. bone
1B
2 D
3 D
4 B
2. body flesh
5 D
6 D or E – maybe more D
7 E
8 D

3. facial feature
10 E
11 C
12 A or C – maybe more A
13 E
14 D
15 C or D – maybe more C
Thanks a lot!
Maria
Hi Maria, at 5 ft 7 you would be too tall for romantic- you would most likely have automatic vertical. That would mean you’re most likely D, FN, or SD. If you have kibbe width- I’d explore FN ( that doesn’t mean wide- or not curvy- for instance Tracie Ellis Ross is a verified FN). Or if that doesn’t line up then explore the Soft Dramatic.
Hi Gabrielle!
these are my answers:
Bone structure: b-d-b-d
Body flesh: e/d-d-c-c-e
Facial features:e-e-c-d-c
So my answers are mostly d then either c and e are equal or the c is more so I’m a bit confused, could you please help me?
I’d need your height to give you any guidance

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me figure my ID out because I’m not completely sure. My guesses are theatrical romantic (I got this on a different quiz) or soft classic. I’m only 5’1” though so I might be a soft gamine?

I have a pretty narrow head that appears small though that could be due to my more broad shoulders. I’m in my teens but I think I’m done growing. I know measurements don’t matter but just to compare them: my bust is around 33in and my waist is 25in. I think my hips are 34-6in? Thanks so much!!

Hi Gabrielle!
Thank you for all the time you put into this!
I was wondering your thoughts about my body type— I struggle to find a category that feels like a good fit for me.
I’m 5’8, but have a long torso and proportionately very short arms and legs. My hands and feet are very small and wide in proportion to the rest of my body. I am very pear shaped (hips are >15” larger than my bust), but my waist is also very defined compared to my bust.
I am plus size currently, but answered these questions bearing in mind my body shape and structure from when I was a smaller size. At my current weight, my frame has the effect of looking more boxy, but when I was smaller, I was more rounded so I answered the questions accordingly.
My facial structure answers are in an entirely different category from the rest of my body, but even disregarding that, I would type Romantic or Gamine- I know I am too tall for Gamine and think I toe the line with romantic. Additionally, the clothes that typically would flatter romantics do nothing for my shape. Am I somehow misinterpreting my body shape here?
Bone Structure: 1D 2E 3E 4E
Body Fat: 1D 2C 3D 4E 5D
Facial Features: 1B 2B 3B 4E 5D 6B
Curious if you have any insight or tips to figuring out this puzzle!
Thank you in advance 🙂

Hello Gabriella! I was wondering if I could have a little help with mine. I am 5’3, 128lbs these are my scores. The first few times I took the quiz I got SG and was actually comfortable with that but I was a different weight and also started working out so i’m not sure where where the change occured. Anyways, was wondering if I am in the classic family or something else. Thank you so much!!

I thought so much, SN makes sense, now I just need to find my essence and bam! Conquer the world. I have the feeling that SN are not stereotypically edgy.
Good luck with your content and looking forward to watching more of your videos
Thank you for including the pictures–it was very helpful and I think gave me better results than another quiz I took on a different site! I know you said Kibbe’s not really using the quiz anymore, but I’d still like to know where I sit anyway. But I’m having a hard time figuring out my results.
I’m 5’0″ tall.

I’d explore the soft gamine as well!

Hi Gabrielle,
Thanks for creating this quiz! Based on my results, I’m guessing I’m a Dramatic Classic. Would you say that’s correct? I do have quite a few D answers which is making me question that a little bit. For reference, I’m 5’5″.

You could explore soft gamine, but based on these answers I also wouldn’t rule out soft natural
Hi! I’m kinda confused with my results
I’m 170cm tall (5ft 7)
Here are my answers:
BONE STRUCTURE: 1C 2B 3C 4B
BODY FLESH: 5C 6C 7B 8C 9C (I do have slight definition in waist but when I’m leaner, when I gain weight it collects on the waist and down
FACE: 10B 11C 12B 13B 14C 15C
Thank you very much for your help!
Hi, Gabrielle!

Hi, I’d need your height to give any feedback.
Hi Gabrielle,
Please help me with my body type.
I took the test twice. The first time I took the test on some other site. There weren’t any pictures for reference and I was very curious so I may have rushed. This time I took it when I was fairly calm and the pictures you’ve shared were a great help. I took my pictures and facial pictures as well so my answers did change a bit. I didn’t look at the answers from my previous test while taking the test again.
I’m including answers from both though so you can see what changed. The first answer is from 1st test and 2nd answer is from 2nd test.
My height is feet and my weight fluctuates between 49kg – 50kg or 108lbs – 110lbS.
Whenever gain weight it spreads across evenly all over. But mostly it’s on my thighs, waist and bust area.
My bust over the nipples measures 35inches, my waist is 27-28 inches and buttocks 37 inches.

Hi Gia, I don’t measurements or weight but I do need your height to give you any feedback. It’s very common for the quiz to not work for people, so the answers changing isn’t surprising. Kibbe has evolved away from the test

Hey Gabrielle, definitely a bit confused by my results (as I’m sure you’ll be able to tell from the answers) – as I know that I have a much more long and broad shape (I am 5″10 as well for reference of height impact) and muscular, but also very prominent in the chest area but also very rounded/soft facial features. What would your assessment be?

^^This is my post from 2 years ago when I initially found your content.
Gabrielle, after following you for a few years and taking in your valuable insight and content, I keep coming up with “true gamine” as a best fit (my quiz responses are above, maybe I will reassess?). I thought there wasn’t such thing as a true gamine, so I’m stuck. Also, all of the suggestions for gamine don’t feel like they match my lifestyle (casual/business casual) or even color season (true summer) for that matter. Does that mean I’m definitely not a gamine?

Hope it’s not too late to get a comment back from you in this Gabrielle – this article and quiz has made it so much easier to understand what to look for.

Thinking soft classic, because I’m too tall for romantic, but honestly I have no idea.
Your help would be so very very much appreciated!

I have taken this text multiple times over time and am never quite sure of the result. This time I really did the photo and then I drew lines over the photo, and asked trusted friends if I was unsure of an answer one way or another. I got 5 C’s (three of those in bone structure) 5 D’s (three of those in flesh) and 5 E’s (three of those in facial features). Which type am I?? I am overweight, and I have read the plus-sized guide which was somewhat helpful, but still. Here I am with no clue! Any ideas?
Hi,
I’m having some trouble with my results. I’m about 5’4”, I don’t have very much waist definition (in fact, I very much look like the pictures for an elongated, broad waist and elongated, muscular body shape), and I’m not celeb-skinny like many of the references shown. Could I please have some guidance for the results below?
Bone Structure: 1D 2D 3D 4E
Body Flesh: 5B 6E 7B 8B 9D
Facial Features: 10E 11D 12B 13A 14C 15D
I’ve been thinking Soft Gamine, but the waist definition, which I lack, seems like a key part of that shape. I feel too broad to be classified as a SG.
Hi 🙂
I have no idea, because I have all sorts of letters.
Part 1: B, C, B, D
Part 2: E, E, D, D, E
Part 3: B, C(or maybe B), C, C, E, C.
I am 167 cm tall, so according to google 5,479.
Would love it if you have some suggestions:)
Best,
Dalana

Flesh
5c

7c (waistline too high, waist too short, ribcage narrowish, top of body a bit shortened except neck, there is no gap between hips and ribs, so waistline still is medium defined, belts I don’t wear as they sit right below boobs. I answered c for hands and legs, but they are a bit longer. Would be average if top would be normal lenght)
8c (high, long, a bit narrower than sholders, not exactly strait but slender looking)
9b/c (in between)
Face
10b/c/e (not as angular as b, not as rounded as e, a bit larger and wider than c)
11b
12a/b (not as sharp as a, more defined than b)
13c
14d/e (something in between)

I would really appreciate any suggestions. I red all descriptions and don’t feel like any fits. Maybe dramatic classic a little.
Sorry, forgot my height. It is 5.6
Now I am reading style suggestions. Mine had always been like the one for naturals, and that makes me look much heavier, bulkier and fatter than I actually am, which is annoying. But it has lots of casual and relaxed options which I don’t know how to replace.
I have kind of suggestion.
Reading lots of articles I noticed that basically my body shape is meant to determine my style a lot. Like, if I am classic, I am advised to wear blazers, expensive fabrics, and so on, very formal. It would be OK if I worked in the office. Bet if I am farmers wife with bunch of kids and a dog? I wear more like boho/arty/crafty/vintage. It fits my personality and lifestyle but doesn’t fit my body type. And same story with every type, either very limited or quite narrow use of these suggestions. Also same with style essence, ethereal essence means exclusively evening gowns. As if only celebrities could have this otherworldly vibe, not normal women who haven’t red carpet events every fortnight. And no one is actually trying to adjust all the advices to different situations. Like normal everyday use. That would be really interesting and helpful.
I have a video series that deals with this to some extent. I take the viewers style parameters (including ID and lifestyle needs) and build them an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy-MaW87qak&t=1647s
The suggestions are just a jumping off point, lifestyle needs are important, as are personal preferences, and the overall look from head to toe
Hi! Loved this post, I’m dying to pinpoint my type as closely as possible. My results seem to be too all over the place to fit any results provided. I’m 5’3″, I hope you’re still replying to these!

Hi! I seriously can NOT figure out my type and I’ve been trying for months, haha. I’m tall (5’9″), but people generally think I’m shorter than I am. Usually they guess closer to 5’6″ or 5’7″. My head is not small for my height, which I think contributes to that. I don’t have a lot of curve up top, but lots in the hips/booty. At my thinnest, I’m an AA cup, small waist, and rounded hips/butt. I’m pretty fleshy (even when thin and toned) and have rounder facial features. My arms are shorter for my height, but my legs are long. My feet are big, but my hands are moderate/small. See my problem?? Here are my answers:

Hello
Thank you for the amazing, detailed and visual explanation.
Could you please help me figure out my body type? I’m 5″2′. I would have guessed I’m a soft gamine but it might be theatrical romantic? It’s just that my face is quite angular with small eyes and lips.

I’m 5’9 and 160lb if that helps. My body flesh is unanimously classic but I am unsure because the other sections are very different.
At 5 ft 9 inches you would have automatic vertical and wouldn’t be able to be a classic. Your options would be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and FLamboyant Natural. OUt of those I might start with Flamboyant Natural or Soft Dramatic first
Hi Gabrielle,
I have posted a couple of comments seeking help with my kibbe type but they all say pending! I’m not sure what’s wrong but I’d love if you could help me out! Thanks 🙂
Hi Gabrielle,
I’m having a difficult time interpreting my results and would love your expertise. I am 5’3″ and 100lbs
I think flamboyant gamine makes the most sense when looking at other pictures.

Hey Gabrielle! I love how detailed and informative your kibbe system guide is it’s really helpful!!!
I was wondering if you can help me clear up some confusion that I have with my results!
I resonate a lot with the romantic and soft natural id.
At first I thought I was romantic because my height which is between 5’4 1/2 and 5’5 but a lot people perceive me as shorter than I am and generally guess my height or shorter and I think it’s because I have noticeably short arms and legs. I’m also very very busty on top and have rounded and sloped shoulders. I have curves in my thighs and In my face I have a lot of fullness and usually get a lot of compliments on the fullness of my lips cause I have a natural pout but I have wide nose. But when I was doing research I saw a lot of people say that I can’t be romantic because I have large hands and feet. And I also read people say that when it comes to the romantic id kibbe width trumps height and curve and I would say that my broadness in my top half is the first thing people notice I would say before my height. But then since I’m also very busty that’s also something that’s very apparent. I also tend to gain weight everywhere so because of these factors I was thinking that I lean towards a soft natural id. I was also thinking maybe soft gamine id could be option but I’ve never seen myself as petite and petite is definitely not a trait that anyone would ascribe to me.
These are my answers and im hoping you could provided me with some insight!

Megan Fox looks taller because she is taller. She’s 5’6” not 5’4”.
Google says 5 ft 4 for her. But it doesn’t really matter because Kibbe doesn’t use perceived height anymore- he uses shoulders to knees to evlauate vertical line.
Hello!,

I thought I had commented last week but don’t see it and maybe I never hit submit?
Anyway I’m having trouble with my results
I gained lots of weight in the last few years after having two kids and PPD and I think looking so drastically different has me confused on what is flesh and what is actual body structure but I asked my husband for some help with the quiz and these are my results. I’m 5 ft 2ish

I so appreciate all the work you put into all your blog posts and articles!
I would explore soft gamine, and try those style lines. If those don’t work perhaps explore the soft natural
Can you maybe help with my answers? I’m 5’5”

hello! I am having some confusion with typing myself. I have overwhelmingly E answers (mostly to do with my face and how my flesh appears on my body) but I am 5’9” which—to my understanding—would exclude me from being in the romantic family.
any help would be appreciated, thanks!
you could explore the soft dramatic if you “kibbe curve” – but yes way too tall for the romantic family
The pictures in this article are so helpful but I’m struggling with a few of them. If my shoulders are sloped but broad, would that count as more Natural or Romantic? Also I’ve gotten Natural in the past when I took tests like this, but I don’t have much vertical and I think the loose or long lines really drown me (I’m 5’5). Also, if most of your body features are yin but your face is more yang, does that mix of characteristics count as Gamine? Or is the face more related to essence?
Thanks so much!

Hi! I realise it has been years but this page is such a good resource that I had to try using it. I hope you still awnser these comments because I do need help.
I am 5’4 and other test have put me as an hourglass. My waist to hip ratio fits, but my chest is not quite as wide as my hip. It’s my shoulders that are slightly wider than my hips that I usually find o be my most prominent feature.
For the Bone and Face part my awnsers are all over the place so I have a hard time finding the awnser.

at 5 ft 6 you would probably be too tall to be romantic. I would explore the soft dramatic or maybe* the soft classic (although 5 ft 6 is probably automatic vertical in his system now). Most people have trouble using the quiz and that’s why it’s not recommended anymore

Hi! 🙂
So I’ve decided to share my results aswell which are so confusing to me and I tried to answer them really truthfully… Im 5’4 (163cm) and been told DC or FG because I have very rectangular body shape with some sharpness and not much of a curve. But I feel if DC that Im on the short side for the C family and people often think Im shorter or my actual height so I may be imposter FG instead? But I lack prominent bigger eyes and bigger hand and feet that are so typical for FGs and my facial features are very moderate and classic (Kitchener essences mostly C then a little bit N and R in the mix and soft summer as my color season) so here are the results:

I can’t find your original comment, so it’d be best if you could post all the necessary information into one comment please. That being said, the quiz isn’t used anymore to type, so you might also just want to explore the style lines

Hello!
My last post is still pending so I thought I’d try again — hope that’s okay!
Hi Gabrielle,
I so appreciate the detailed way you describe the Kibbe system and how much information you provide! I have been interested in Kibbe for some time and will periodically delve deeper into it, but I always end up leaving confused and frustrated. I don’t know if I’m just not interpreting the Kibbe terms correctly or just have a hard time analyzing my own body objectively, but each time I’ve tried to type myself it doesn’t seem to match what I’m “supposed” to be.
I’m 5’9″, 30 y/o, no kids, and mid- to plus size (size 16, XL, or XXL depending on the brand, 36H bra, measurements of 46-39-47″, 210 lbs). I think being plus size with big boobs has made it hard for me to be objective about my underlying bone structure despite your helpful resources for this! I know I’m supposed to be FN, D, or SD based on my height, and sometimes SD or FN feels right, but more often I feel closer to a Soft Classic. I took your quiz once and based on my answers I was a Soft Classic. For this first quiz my results looked like this: 1B, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5D, 6D, 7C, 8C, 9C, 10D, 11C, 12C, 13C, 14D, 15B.
After that, I did some more research and tried to be more thorough and objective and took the quiz again. Beforehand, I asked some people their impression of my vertical line and I got mixed results, some saying I looked shorter than I was, some saying taller, and said the same height! I asked my best friend and boyfriend their thoughts throughout the quiz and they also tended to type me more as C because most of my features aren’t extreme. I think they were also confusing my weight gain with more yin features, so this exercise didn’t end up helping me clarify my features. Anyway, here were my results the second time: 1B, 2D, 3B, 4B, 5D, 6D, 7E, 8C, 9C, 10D, 11C, 12C, 13D, 14D, 15B.
For a bit, I was thinking I must just be a Soft Dramatic, but I don’t really align with a lot of the SD characteristics. I don’t think of myself as a diva, striking, bold, or glamorous. Also, I know this doesn’t matter much but I paid to be officially typed for my color analysis and I’m a soft summer which is a muted, low-contrast palette. How much should I pay attention to these types of things when considering my Kibbe body type?
Any advice? Sorry for the length of this post, I’m just very confused, and would appreciate any guidance!
–Sierra
Those characteristics are not essential- diva chic can mean a lot of different things to people. Based on your height you can’t be moderate/balanced at 5 ft 9. I would explore SD from a pure accommodations standpoint (vertical + curve) or explore flamboyant natural. You can be a curvier FN- Tracie Ellis Ross is a great example of this
Hi, my answers were almost entirely E (with only 3-4 exceptions). Based on the quiz results, that puts me squarely in the Romantic category, however based on my height I’m firmly excluded from that category. I’m 5’11, almost 6ft tall, so according to traditional Kibbe rules, wouldn’t I have to be in the dramatic or natural categories? I had a friend who doesn’t know my height guess based off of the photo I took for the quiz and she guessed I was 5’9. That’s still pretty tall for a woman, but 3in shorter than what I actually am. Additionally, I have unusually short arms (fingertips only reach to a little below my butt) but very long legs. I am confused as to what category this puts me in, or even how long my vertical line is! I had previously been categorizing myself as a Soft Dramatic. Any help is appreciated 🙂

Thank you for the amazing, detailed and visual explanation. I think my previous comment was missed earlier.
Could you please help me figure out my body type? I’m 5″2′. I would have guessed I’m a soft gamine but it might be theatrical romantic? It’s just that my face is quite angular with small eyes and lips.

Hi Gabrielle,
I watch your videos quite often and have also been getting into Kibbe, although I haven’t really been sure of my type yet!

Based on Kibbes more updated comments, he suggest 5ft 6 people often have vertical- so I’d explore being a curvy Flamboyant Natural

@Gabrielle Arruda, 1.66cm (5’4”?) according to the converter. Right now I have a few Kgs on, so my usual 32C-D cup is now DD, no waistline at all, small hips & thin thighs compared to my midsection. Thank youuu!
Hey Gabrielle! I love how detailed and informative your kibbe system guide is it’s really helpful!!!
I was wondering if you can help me clear up some confusion that I have with my results! I resonate a lot with the romantic and soft natural id.
At first I thought I was romantic because my height which is between 5’4 1/2 and 5’5 but a lot people perceive me as shorter than I am and generally guess my height or shorter and I think it’s because I have noticeably short arms and legs. I’m also very very busty on top and have rounded and sloped shoulders. I have curves in my thighs and In my face I have a lot of fullness and usually get a lot of compliments on the fullness of my lips cause I have a natural pout but I have wide nose. But when I was doing research I saw a lot of people say that I can’t be romantic because I have large hands and feet. And I also read people say that when it comes to the romantic id kibbe width trumps height and curve and I would say that my broadness in my top half is the first thing people notice I would say before my height. But then since I’m also very busty that’s also something that’s very apparent. I also tend to gain weight everywhere so because of these factors I was thinking that I lean towards a soft natural id. I was also thinking maybe soft gamine id could be option but I’ve never seen myself as petite and petite is definitely not a trait that anyone would ascribe to me.
These are my answers and im hoping you could provided me with some insight!

Hi!
I feel like my results are kind of confusing. My body is pretty straight without much curve or definition between my bust, waist, and hips, and my limbs are fairly long and narrow. But my face is quite rounded, with fleshy cheeks and a rounded jaw. My answers lean towards SD, but I feel like that type’s curvier than I am. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Hi! My comment from March is still pending so I’m trying again in case there was a glitch. 🙂 I seriously can NOT figure out my type and I’ve been trying for months, haha. I’m tall (5’9″), but people generally think I’m shorter than I am. Usually they guess closer to 5’6″ or 5’7″. My head is not small for my height, which I think contributes to that. I don’t have a lot of curve up top, but lots in the hips/booty. At my thinnest, I’m an AA cup, small waist, and rounded hips/butt. I’m pretty fleshy (even when thin and toned) and have rounder facial features. My arms are shorter for my height, but my legs are long. My feet are big, but my hands are moderate/small.

I wouldn’t put a lot of emphasis on the test- it’s not really used anymore. At your height you’d have automatic vertical, and could only be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. I would explore the dramatic, they can have a narrow and dainty feel to them and their only accommodation is vertical, which you have.
Hi! I’m not really sure about my results, I think I might be a soft natural/soft classic/theatrical romantic, but I can’t really understand which one.

I’m 5’7, people who are a few inches taller than me tend to think we are the same height. I was very thin as a teenager, but I have always had curvy hips. I’m often described as shapely and thin and I tend to gain weight very evenly. Even though I’ve gained a muscle mass over the years, I have never looked muscular.

Based on the answers alone I would explore Soft Natural first. But FG would be a good second option too, and since the quiz isn’t really used anymore I’d go with your gut on your style lines exploration
Help I’m torn! I believe I maybe a soft classic with strong romantic under currents or a Romantic type. While I am plus size my body seems to be proportional with moderate to full curve in the bust/hips. Moderate to Small waist definition depending on my weight.

: Hi Naomi, So the test really isn’t frequently used anymore because it is really hard to answer with kibbe-theories in mind. I would explore the Soft Natural and see if those style lines work for you based on these answers: https://gabriellearruda.com/kibbe-soft-natural-ultimate-style-guide/
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you!
Hi Gabrielle,
First of all, thank you so much for composing this amazing resource – it must have taken a lot of time! And even answering all comments! You’re amazing.
I did the quiz with my sister. We were able to confidently to place her in the Kibbe chart. But we’re quite confused about my results. Could you please help? I don’t think I can be SC because I have B and only 1 C in part 3 answers?
Part 1
1. B
2. B? (We struggled a lot with this but I think B it is. I feel I have width more than moderate C but there’s no bluntness or sharpness but not overly round either)
3. C
4. C (my sister insists D but I think she just has large hands 😀 )
Part 2.
5. D (unsure, I have more defined waist and rounded hips that the example pictures, but not sure if I “qualify” for D as I’m not really curvy. I’m quite skinny)

Hi! My coment has been pending for a month so this is a repost, hope that’s ok.
I am 5’4 and have been typed as an hourglass. Which doesn’t seem to fit if I’m a (dramatic clasic)? My shoulders are only slightly wider than my hips, but I usually find them my most prominent feature.
For the Bone and Face part my awnsers are all over the place so I have a hard time finding the awnser.

At 5 ft 9 you can only be the following three types because you have automatic vertical in Kibbe: dramattic, flamboyant natural, or soft dramatic. I would explore being a curvier Flamboyant Natural or maybe a Soft Dramatic first

Hi Gabrielle!
I’ve been confused about this for a long time, maybe you can help me.
I’m 5’2
Vertical line: D. I look my height, short. Sometimes I think I look longer(like I could be 5’4) sometimes I look squashed, depending on what I’m wearing. My upper body is quite short, but I’m elongated from waist to knees. So does this change my vertical line to B or C? Or make me short with elongation??
Shoulders: C kind of angular, kind of rounded.
Arms:D Legs:A Hands& feet: C

Facial bones: A,B,A

Thank you in advance❤
Hi, I still need some help figuring out my id, if you’re willing to help me?
I’m having trouble because while I’m somewhat tall (5’7), making my bone structure more Yang, my face is very Yin and my Flesh is basically completely classic (with some Yin undertones). My problem is that my height excludes me from soft classic (which I thought might fit because of my facial features and flesh scores), but I only fit Dramatic Classic because of my bone structure while my face and flesh are still fairly Yin.

Hi Gabriella! Love the post, although I think I’ve confused myself with my answers
I appears to be Theatrical Romantic, however my facial features don’t fit this. I’m 5’6” and a healthy BMI so not a lot of visible bones eg hip bones or ribs, but I have prominent ankle and wrist bones and am a little pear shaped with a small waist.

I have a narrow nose that is almost hooked, but not particularly large. I don’t have full lips, and my eyes aren’t narrow but they are small and close together, so not exactly the Femme Fatale described.
I am very short waisted, so a lot of the advice re emphasising my waist actually just makes me look disproportionate, but I am intrigued by the fabric suggestions and use of colour.

I have a ton of E yet didn’t land in anything specific. I thought I would land romantic, or soft classic but my shape isn’t perfectly hourglass, I’m 5’4”, slightly curvy 41-37-44 but do not have a shape to my waist. And my hips are more square than my bust. I always feel like nothing FITS right and am a meltdown away from needing to learn to sew because they just don’t make clothes in my size ANYWHERE. But I wouldn’t know what styles or patterns to make. (For context, I was raised entirely by my dad so I didn’t know I was clueless until my adult daughter called my clothes frumpy) What’s your take on this mess?? I’d love an opinion.
Thx, Sara

Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive collection of articles Gabrielle! The quiz having photos really helped, and I completed it with my husband to help keep my answers accurate. Despite this I’m honestly a little stuck with my category and would appreciate some help!
My confusion is that I’m 5’10, 70kg, and have always had broad muscular shoulders and strong thighs (yang dominant) from athletics, and my face is very yang bones. However I’m also a very obvious hourglass shape with a large chest and hips compared to my waist no matter my weight. When I do gain weight it’s everywhere, but if I gain enough it’s more obvious around tummy and face.

From my answers I thought I’d be DC but my height and shoulders make me question this. My height would recommend a D/SD/FN. I’m too curvy to be pure D even if I lost weight a lot of weight, so I’m kind of stuck between SD and FN…?
So being hourglass doesn’t actually eliminate Dramatic IDs- it’s more about what you absolutely need to accommodate in your silhouettes. SD’s often have a bust that pushes fabric out from their frame. WHereas you could also be a curvy flamboyant natural like Tracie Ellis Ross. I would start with FN based on your comment and see how those lines work. Having a strong, muscular shoulder line can* be an indication of kibbe width

At 5 ft 10 you can only be one of three IDs: Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. I would start with teh flamboyant natural based on these answers

The test isn’t used anymore so take this with a grain of salt. But at 5ft 8 you would have automatic vertical. I would start by exploring the Soft Dramatic based on these answers alone
Hello there!
It seems so difficult to figure out my body type. My height is 168 cm, but I look taller than I really am, although my arms are a little short. I have a very large hips and a defined waist, but my bust is narrow and my breasts are small. My face looks very yang, but my hands and feet are small and narrow. Results I got from the test:
Bone Structure:
B, C, C, D
Body Flesh:
E, C, D, E, E
Facial Features:
D, B, B, E, A, C
Can you help me to understand?
I figure out you website a few days ago and i am loving it. Thank you so much for share your knowledge and studies 🙂

For reference I am 174cm (5’7″) so am confused about the height part too!

My hips are wide but my chest not that big and smaller (i have pear body shape). My hands and feet are small like child but really wide. I have fleshy arms and big thighs too. I don’t look good with long hair, and short hair look better on me. People are always find me look young. I feel like i’m Soft Gamine but i don’t feel good with Soft Gamine’s style to be honest. On my daily basis, i like to wear Romantic’s style dresses (even before i know about Kibbe body type)
Can you help me, please?

I have predominantly C answers for the bone structure/skeleton section but have B answers under body flesh and/or facial features (not D or E as stated in example), then am I still a Soft Classic (SC) ? Thank you so much!
So the test isn’t all that accurate and really isn’t used anymore for typing. While you could be a SC, I might also explore the Gamines based on your mix of answers. A lot of people end with overwhelming C answers, but aren’t necessarily classic. Trying the lines will definitely be more effective

After considering almost all of the body types, I finally think I am FN. Not because of the answers, but because the characteristics for FN match me the most. Still, based on my answers, what type am I?
Definitely go with your research over the quiz, but the quiz also points to potentially FN

I’m 167.5 cm tall, my bust, waist and hips are 100, 72, 99 cm
and I’m 63 kg Weight.
Some tips
I’m a dark winter and not symmetrical at all, look much more better with short hair and very very delicate bone structure (more delicate than most of the women I saw)
Because I’m tall(I count as a tall in my family! ) I used to think that I’m a SD but I made a look of SD and I looked like a poor person who sleeps under the bridges and my friends told me I look like a grandma with those clothes!
Dear Gabrielle,
First off, thanks for all the work you do, I am a big fan!
I have done the test a bunch and I always turn out to be either SC or TR. However I am not so good at judging my own shapes and angles sometimes and I am often undecided between answers C and D. For reference, I am 5’1″ or 156 cm. Here are my answers. When in doubt between C and D, I went with what seemed slightly more appropriate even when not convinced:
Bone Structure
E,C,D,C
Body Flesh
D,C or D (no clue here),E,C,D
Facial Features
C,E,E,D,D,E
Thank you so much 🙂
So the test isn’t used anymore, because it’s very hard to accurately gauge your yin/yang balance from it. Based on these answers TR might be a possibility (but people frequently end up with TR answers when they first do the test). I would also explore the Soft Gamine ID. Soft Classic (based on these answers alone) is not likely. But trying the style lines is the best way to discover this! I have articles on SG and TR that might help:

Hi I’m a little confused about what my mixture of answers mean. I got 1 B, 2 C, 6.5 D, and 5.5 E answers (because my nose is a mix of D and E) but I’m having trouble finding my match for that. If someone could help me that would mean the world, thank you!

Hi Gabrielle!
Thank you so much for this detailed quiz! I’m struggling to figure myself out – maybe I’m over-complicating it. I have mainly Es but also a lot of Cs. I’d say Soft Classic? Maybe full Romantic?
Would you mind taking a look at my results and see what you think? I’m 5.5″ 🙂

I’m so confused. My bone structure is mainly As, my flesh is mostly Ds, and my face is mostly Cs with some Ds. My face is VERY asymmetrical though (like one half is higher than the other and it’s even more noticeable when I smile), and from my understanding, classics are supposed to be symmetrical. What would you say I am? Thanks in advance! ?
P.S. I’m just under 5’4”, but I look much taller in pictures, and people tend to think I’m much younger than I actual am as well, if it makes any difference! 🙂
I can’t give any feedback without knowing your exact answers. Perfect symmetry isn’t possible for the face, so I would focus more on a holistic view of it. And at 5 ft 4 you could really be any ID.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you, and sorry I didn’t follow directions! These are my exact answers.

P.S. I’m just under 5’4”, but I look taller in pictures, and people tend to think I’m much younger than I actually am as well, if that has any influence. Also, my face is VERY asymmetrical (like one half is higher than the other and it’s even more noticeable when I smile), and from my understanding, classic faces are supposed to be symmetrical. Thank you in advance! ?

I’m finding myself confused by my answers–I think I’m between Theatrical Romantic and Pure Romantic, but I’m just outside of each. The answer is probably to follow a bit of both, but I figured I’d double check lol.

Hi,Gabrielle, I am posting once again just in case I forgot to press comment. I am not sure about my type because I get a lot of mixed answers mostly Ds and Es. I am 157 cm tall and I am a size XXL. Wearing a tshirt makes me boxy as a result of my bust area and I need your help.

Just to clarify the test really isn’t used anymore. At your height you could many different ids. If you think you have kibbe curve (upper and lower curve that pushes fabric out from you frame) then I might explore romantic. If you think you might have kibbe width (openness in your shoulder line) then I’d explore Soft Natural. Hope this helps you start with some style lines
Hi Gabrielle, I know the test isn’t used before but was hoping for your opinion anyway on what my Kibbe type might be. I am 161cm tall, and am often told that I look taller than my actual height and look athletic. I’ve been pretty much the same weight for my whole adult life so I’m not sure where I actually gain weight, but suspect it’d be more in the lower body.

Yes the test isn’t used anymore. But based on your answers I would explore the Soft Natural or maybe Soft Gamine.

Hi Gabriella – these resources you’ve created are fantastic! I’m still in my early education around Kibbe – but I’m fascinated. I would love some help interpreting my results!
I’m 5’3. Also, although I’ve read it’s isn’t relevant- I did go through body changes post pregnancy. I was a 34c – 5 years after babies I’m not a 34i.

My height is 5’7” and what I know for sure is I’m not the classical type (asymmetrical face, on the chubby side).
Thank you in advance!

I’m 5’7 and look taller in pictures. I have straight hips but a very small waist like if you took the hips off a natural and gave her an hourglass waist and fuller chest. This is at least partially because I have hip dips.

Hello, not sure about my results. I got mostly B answers but a lot of them could’ve been either B or C. I am also 6 foot 3, but I have parts of me that are fleshier than the generally “taller” options agree with. I am naturally fairly muscular looking without trying, but I have always been complimented for having a slim waist compared to my hips, hips measure 36-38 inches where my waist is 30. I have very long legs with a 36 inch inseam and very long arms with a 6 foot 6 wingspan, but my arms do not reach halfway down my thighs.

Hi Gabrielle! I’m struggling with my results and was wondering if you could help?
I would have thought SN or R, but I am 5’7 or 5’8 (though I don’t think I look that tall.)
Of the three types I could fit into with my height, I relate most to SD but I don’t have any A answers?
I don’t think FN is right, as I do have some broadness and muscle tone, but do not have a straight body shape. I also feel my features definitely lean more in a lush direction.
Thanks for any advice!

I’m 5’7.5″ but I have a long torso so people often mistake me for shorter. Should I still limit myself to the Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and Flamboyant Natural options?
Bone Structure – D, B, C, B
Body Flesh – D, C/D, D, D, D
Facial Features – C, B, B, A, A, D
I’m leaning toward Soft Dramatic out of the three, but I definitely don’t have “large eyes and full lips” like the post on Soft Dramatics describes. Could that still be me?

Hey Gabrielle! I’ve been really into personal style and binging your YouTube videos. They’re really helpful; thanks for making them. I got half and half E and C. I’m quite short at 5’0.

Hi! I’m hoping you can help me interpret my results?
Additional information; I’m riiiiight in the middle between 5’11” and 6′, and it has happened that people think I’m taller. When I gain weight it tends to really sit on my upper body (at least most noticeably) as my belly, chest, and chin are visibly larger first.

Based on your height you could only be one of three Ids- Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. I would explore Soft Dramatic first and see if you need a kibbe curve accomdoation or possibly the Flamboyant Natural
I’m unsure where I fit in all of this. I took the test a few times, because it made me stop and actually look at my body and lines and not just answer what I felt I looked like. For reference I’m 5’9.

Hi Gabrielle
I am deep down the Kibbe body analysis rabbit hole, but I am so confused about my results. I am hoping you might be able to help me get some clarification :))
I have tried to take the test multiple times and I keep go back between some C ’s and D’s. I have my results down below, I have marked the ones I am unsure about like following
* the letter with out a () being the one I think/ lean more towards it is
* the letter in the parenthesis (x) being the one it also could be.
Also since my face have a few more c answers I was unsure about how that played into my Kibbe body type.
And if it helps my height is 165cm or 5 feet, 5 inches
And I weigh 63kg
Here are my answers
Bones
Vertical line: D (c)
Shoulders: E
Arm and legs: E
Hands: E
Body flesh
Body: D
Chest: D
Waist: E
Hips: D ( c )
Flesh on upper arms and legs: D (c)

Hello,
To put it briefly, I am 5″1 tall and 128 lbs.–mostly E in skeleton and Facial features, but mostly C in flesh. Does that mean I am a “Soft Gamine”?
Here are my answers in more detail:
Skeleton: D E E E
Flesh: C C C D C
Face: E E E E D E
It looks like my skeleton is petite and my facial features are very yin/feminine but I have only moderately curvy flesh. So I am thinking Soft Gamine, but feeling confused since I have zero As or Bs in my answers.
Also, is it normal to have zero As and Bs in the quiz answers? I am worried that I might be doing something wrong.
Thank you for your help!

I have been reading all your guides and watching the videos, after taking the quiz and posting the above comment about being SG. Now I am thinking SN because I am somewhat leggy and definitely look like I have Kibbe width, especially seen from the back.
Your videos are very funny– I love the Heidi parody!

Hi Gabrielle,
I am very new to Kibbe but am finding it really interesting! Thank you for all the info. I was just curious if you could help me out with my body type as I got mostly E’s so thought I was a romantic but am 5’8 so looks like that might not be the case. Here are my results:

Thanks so much!
I took the test because I’ve had my 2nd child not too long ago & it seems like my body has changed so much. However, I was somewhat confused because my answers for Part 3 were hard for me to decide. But when I checked the comments it’s clear that at my height of 5’9”, my responses for that section being majority B or C aren’t going to change anything. Especially with all of my answers for Part 2 being B. How do you recommend choosing between dramatic and flamboyant natural?
Try testing the lines for each, that’s what’s most important- examining how fabric falls on your body
I’m 5’8″. Not sure where I fit in!

Hey there Gabrielle,
I’ve been trying to self ID for the last few months. I took the test and was a bit confused. I’ve retaken it a few time throughout the months but I pretty much always get the same answers. I am a bit over weight at the moment which makes it more confusing when it comes to the flesh portion of the quiz.

I would try the style lines for both, and examine if you have kibbe width. Based solely on these answers I might start with romantic lines first
Hi Gabrielle! I have taken your quiz twice so far, and with a little help from a friend this time, I think I’ve got my answers a bit more narrowed down. I’m thinking Soft Gamine but your opinion would be much appreciated!

I’m somewhere between 5’7”-5’8”, but the dramatic types don’t feel right. I’m both vertical (in my opinion) but also have quite a bit of soft curves.
If you feel you have kibbe curve, including your height, I would explore soft dramatic.

Hi, I’d need your height to give you any feedback, thanks.
Hello,
Thank you so much for this post! I’m a bit confused as to my type, could you weigh in?
I am just under 5’3”. I wear petite tops, children’s gloves & hats, and US size 5.5 shoe, but struggle with finding wide enough shoes. I also require wider glasses due to my cheekbones being wide and high- I have a cheek contour/hollow no matter my weight. I am pear shaped- much smaller on the top, with very strong legs that have some softness. I do not have double curve, though I have curve in the hips much like Jennifer Love Hewitt. I am nearing 40, but still get mistaken for a college student. My nose is slightly wide & blunt from the front, but in profile is upturned and sharp like a ski jump.

I am 5ft 4 and 1/2 inches. I do think I look slightly taller than I am, because my face is so small. I have an oblong face with a large forehead. I have high cheekbones but they are soft-fleshiness when I smile only. My nose is bulbous at the end, but straight. My eyes are almond and slightly close together. They are not narrow or straight, but not round either. Somewhere in between. My lips are super small and thin. I have a very small jawline and chin. My body is a spoon shape. My bust is smaller than my hips and I have a defined waist. Even though I have muscle, my thighs don’t show it but my arms and shoulders do have definition from working out. I would say my face is more gamine but not sure. Have no idea what my body is. Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated.
Hi Gabrielle! This is so great, thanks! I’m curious what you think of my results – I’m 5′ 2.5″. As you can see I’m almost entirely Es and Ds, but my two B answers are that I have longer arms and legs and look a little taller than I am. Can I still be Romantic? What do you think? Thanks so much! 🙂

You can be romantic even with a few B answers, and he’s changed vertical from the original book explanation of “how tall you look” to the spcae between your shoulders and knees. I would also explore Soft gamine at your height and determine if you have kibbe petite.
@Gabrielle Arruda, thanks so much for taking the time to respond, that was super helpful! 🙂

At your height you would have automatic vertical so you could be Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. Based on these answers I would probably start with Flamboyant Natural style lines. Which simply mean relaxed or unconfining (it does not mean boxy/oversized/or boho necessarily)
I’m quite confused about my outcome. I have several “C” in flesh an bone but I don’t see an answer for that. Could you please help me

Based on your height you would have automatic vertical and would indeed be too tall for romantic. I’d explore Soft dramatic, you have a a lot of E answers which could potentially indicate kibbe curve, but if SD lines dont work then your other options would be Flamboyant Natural or Dramatic.

Hi Gabrielle! Thank you so much for providing such wonderful content!
Could you please help me determine my results? I’m pretty evenly split between B,C & D types and am 5’4”.
Bone Structure – C,B,B,B
Body Flesh – B,C,C,B,D
Facial Features – D,C,C,C,D,D
I’m about 20 lbs heavier than my normal right now and most of that is being carried right around my midsection.
Thank you so so much!
I’d explore the Soft Natural ID first based on these results
Any thoughts on someone with mostly As for bones, mostly C/Ds for flesh? I’m 5’3 and have long limbs, long vertical line, small hands and feet for my size, small ankles and wrists/bones, but have gotten consultation from friends and family and everyone agrees that my flesh lies more C leaning toward D. I think I have a face that is more Yang as well.
I really appreciate it if you do respond and have thoughts!
I would explore the Flamboyant Gamine, they can have this quality.

So perceived height isn’t really a thing anymore, that was from the original book. Based on your answers I”d explore the Soft natural Id first.

It depends on your height and where those answers fall, each question is not weighted equally
Hi! This article is very helpful!
I think I’m a soft classic, my results were:
Bone Structure – C, C, C, B
Body Flesh – B, C, B, B, D
Facial Features – E, C, C, C, C, D.
My height is 5’6.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

So at 5 ft 6 you would most likely have vertical according to kibbe. Based on these answers I might explore the flamboyant natural as youre just a tad too tall for soft natural. But if you’re really drawn to SC then I’d try the style lines.
Hello Gabrielle! I am quite confused, and I don’t know what I am. I am genuinely LOST!
By the way, I am 165 and around 50 kg. By the way, I second checked with a brutally honest friend (she even took the phone from my hand two times because I wasn’t sure!)
1.B

15.C
So your weight isn’t a factor, but I assume you meant 165 cm? That would be about 5 ft 4 I believe so any Id would be an option. Based on your answers alone I would explore something that needs a curve accomodation. Maybe explore the Soft Natural and the Romantic style lines first.
Hi Gabrielle! I know this is an older article but it’s been so insightful for me and I was hoping to get your opinion, as I’ve been having a hard time narrowing down my ID for years.
I’m almost 5’4″, sometimes measure more at like 5’3.5″. However, people are often surprised at my actual height when I stand next to them and they see how short I really am.
My answers are:
Bones:
1. b
2. e
3. d
4. a
Flesh:
5. d
6. c
7. d
8. d
9. d
Face:
10. b
11. a
12. a
13. a
14. c
15. e
I’ve often felt like my face was more “masculine”, or yang, in comparison to my body, so I feel like this had added more confusion in figuring out my ID. I also feel like the C answers I’ve given could possibly be because I couldn’t make up my mind about the true answer, although I’m not sure!
Thank you so much for your help 🙂
Based on these answers I would explore the Soft Natural Id, but the quiz isn’t really used anymore so don’t feel like this is the only ID to explore

Thanks, but I’d need your height to give you any feedback
Hello! I’d love help with my results. Overall my bones are very “yang” and my flesh is very “yin”. My face seems to be a combo of yin/yang. I have a very asymmetrical face, so that can make it hard to know how to score things. ie – one eye is more round than the other which is more cat like, and one side of my nose is more narrow/tapered, while the other side is more blunt.
I am 5’8″

At 5 ft 8 you would have automatic vertical in kibbe, so you can only be Dramatic, Soft dramatic, or flamboyant natural. Based on these answers I would start with flamboyant natural and maybe soft dramatic.

I can’t give you any advice without your height
Hi, I love your article; It is very helpful for me. Also, I would like a second opinion on my Kibbe body type. By the way, I’m 5’6. Here are my results.
Bone Structure
2C, 2D
Body Flesh
1A, 4D
Facial Features
4D, 2E
Can you please help me out? I would love to hear your response.
Thank you in advance!
Camille
WHile the quiz isn’t used anymore, the questions are weighted differently so I’d really need to know where the answers fall. Based on your heights its very likely you have vertical in kibbe, so you would be between Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, and Soft Dramatic as options
@Gabrielle Arruda, Hello, so I am aware that you stated that the test is not used anymore. However, I have decided to include each question and arrange the answers. Here they are:
Bone structure
1. D
2. E
3. A
4. D
Body flesh
5. D
6. A
7. C
8. D
9. A
Facial features
10. E
11. E
12. D
13. D
14. D
15. B
Hopefully, this helps clear it up a tinge. By the way, I have changed a few answers upon observation. Again, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
This quiz has been very helpful, however I’m still slightly confused. It’d be useful to have a feedback…
I’m 5’4, and these answers are a result of 3 sets of eyes evaluating me… personally, I would have chosen a few more D answers maybe, but the “jury” wanted to smack me in the face whenever I did so?
{[Skeleton (bone structure)]}
1. B
2. E
3. C (unsure)
4. E
{[Body flesh]}
5. E
6. Mostly B, could be C
7. E
8. E
9. D
{[Face]}
10. C or D
11. C (unsure)
12. E
13. E
14. C or D (similar to the first image in C, but I have a thin upper lip and a fuller lower lip so idk)
15. E
I feel like romantic would look too extreme on me, but I don’t know if it’s just because of my personal taste and personality or idk…maybe I’m theatrical romantic?
Soft classic is ok but it feels slightly
wrong (too proportionate?).
I’ve also considered other soft types, but they all look slightly wrong…
Thank you very much for your help♥️
If you have to accommodate curve, you could also explore the soft natural. THey have that romantic undercurrent but still have more openness and easiness in their silhouettes.
Hi there,

I know it seems silly but being 5 ft 5 versus 5 ft 6 is actually slightly different in kibbe. Automatic vertical likely starts at 5 ft 6. At 5 ft 5 you could likely be any ID, although having a petite accommodation becomes less likely. I’d potentially explore the Dramatic Classic ID but you’re better off exploring the essences and style lines for each ID to figure it out
bone structure : b,a,c,b
body flesh : d,c,c,e,d
facial features : c,c,d,b,d,d

Hi Gabrielle,

Dramatic classic?
I believe I have a long lean look, but larger in the chest. My body flesh is throwing it off for me, and my face is all over the board.
Thank you for your guidance.
Rebecca
I sent a comment earlier today, asking your thoughts regarding my category since I fell between choices on many of the categories. As I began reading further, I completely see myself as soft dramatic. My bone structure is long thin hands, arms legs long and tiny wrists and ankles. I have somewhat large breasts, defined waist and proportional hips.
Your style recommendations have been my preferences for my entire life, and I am glad to understand my motivation for these. You have made my style shopping so much easier, clearer.
I’m so glad you had that revelation!!
Hi Gabby,
Thank you so much for making this quiz! I am little confused about the body type I am. Could you help me please?

So you would have automatic vertical at your height and can be one of 3 Ids: Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. Based on your answers I’d explore the Soft Dramatic first. You might also consider being a curvy flamboyant natural, if Sd doesn’t feel right.

Hey girl hey! I just discovered your Youtube channel and I am loving your content. Would you be able to help me diagnose my kibbe type by looking at my answers? FYI I am 5’1″. I have a square jaw. I am thinking maybe dramatic classic? I know you mentioned facial attributes are considered less by Kibbe standards these days. Let me know what you think!

Dear Gabrielle!
First of all, thank you for the test, I always wanted to know which Kibbe Type I am.
Based on my bone structure/skeleton and body flesh I think I am a semi clear classic. However, my facial features are not classic at all. Overall I thought I am a dramatic classic but because of my face I am unsure. I am around 161cm tall (5’2 ft). Here are my results:

You would be at the max height for the Soft Natural and more likely be a curvy Flamboyant natural based on Kibbes newer height guidelines. But a curvy FN can take a lot inspo from the SN id. But I’d explore both
Hii! I don’t know if you’re still replying to comments since all of them are from 2 years ago, but I hope you are cause I really need some help.. I’m 4’10 and 97 pounds at 13 years old, I have very long legs and I think my waist is kinda long too.

Hi Gabrielle, could you please help me decipher my results? I have been trying, and have done the quiz with a few people but since I am tied between E and C I am unsure! I looked through a lot of celeb photos to compare, and I found that (although her face has been changed quite a lot) I have resemblance to Olivia Munn in the face. However, the body is difficult since it doesn’t fit in each box I found.
I am around 167 cm, 70 kg (weight is quite evenly distributed and I am slightly athletic build even when I am out of shape).

I wouldn’t use celeb comparisons to determine your kibbe ID. Based on your answers I might explore the soft classic first, or if you feel you need more structure you could try Dramatic classic

It’s definitely mostly D’s, but the B/C in the bone structure and the A/B in the facial features are throwing me off. Would you guess theatrical romantic? My top half/dress size is tiny (size 00, XXS) compared to the bottom (S, or 2/4 in pants). I gain weight in my hips and thighs and I have large calves.
I would try the style lines for each. But with these answers I also wouldn’t rule out Soft Gamine or Soft Natural.

Hi Gabriella, I appreciate your dedication to making this post and also following up to all of the comments!
I made my boyfriend go thru and help me type for each, but I’m a little uncertain about which type I might align with.
Here are my results:

So obviously classic in the bones and flesh, but those A’s in the facial features are throwing me off soft classic.
I’m 5’6’’ by the way.
Would love your thoughts. Thanks ?
At 5 ft 6 there is strong probability you have automatic vertical in kibbe. But if youre really leaning towards classic, I would explore the Dramatic Classic over Soft classic based on your height
Hi! I’m having trouble figuring out my results. A & C are dominant so I’m really unsure. Here is what I have.

I thought I was a romantic but I have lost weight recently and my body seems to have changed a little. I am trying to dress for my body and I feel like most things end up making me feel wide. I am 5’4” and I get comments like my shoulders are broad. However, they are definitely sloped. I tend to have a slightly defined waist and go for clothes that can define my waist. Jumpsuits look great on my and I think structured clothes like blazers look good as well. However, I have to be aware of the height of my clothing as it could make me look shorter at times. I tend to be busty as well. My measurements are 38-28-38. I hope all this helps.
Thank you
I think I’m a theatrical romantic, but want confirmation. I’m 5’8 and about 115lbs.
My answers were:

So total:

At 5 ft 8 you would have automatic vertical and can only be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Based on these answers I would explore Flamboyant Natural first
I think I am soft classic, but I am 5’9.

15) D or E?
I get my height from my dad who was very tall and yang, but the soft, fleshy, curvy features from my mom who was very short and yin.
At 5 ft 9 you would have automatic vertical in Kibbe and could only be Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or SOft Dramatic. If you feel you have kibbe curve (which is different from conventional hourglass) then I would explore the Soft Dramatic first
Hola! Mmm según lo que acabo de hacer ? mis medidas son
1) b,e,c,e
2)d,e,e,c,c
3)d,e,c,e,e,e
Please include your height
Hello! I’ve recently become quite interested in Kibbe body typing. After taking a few tests, I think I’m a dramatic classic, but I’ve also wondered about a soft classic. I’d apperciate some help because I’m pretty confused. I’m 5’5 and these were the answers I got:
bone structure
1 B
2 D
3 B
4 B
body flesh
5 C
6 C
7 C
8 C
9 C
facial features
10 C
11 B
12 D
13 B
14 E
15 E
Thank you so much!
The quiz really isn’t used anymore and at your height you could be any id. YOur answers would also indicate you could be a Soft Natural. But if you’re fairly certain you have balance, then I would explore Dramatic Classic and Soft Classic lines and see whether you need curve or slight vertical accommodation
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you so much! Are they just suggesting you get typed by a professional now?
Kibbe only recommends you see him directly or you determine your ID on your own. THis is why I’ve never offered typing services because I feel it goes against his wishes and system.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you so much for all of your help! After you suggested soft natural I began to look into that some more and feel like i could fit that better than dramatic classic. From what I’ve seen I feel like my face lines up more with a typical sn and some of my friends have told me that oversized/baggy clothing look really good on me which i believe would be a more sn trait? I’m having a hard time deciding for sure though. i don’t fully understand width vs balance, what would be a way to clearly indicate whether I am a dc or sn?
Thank you so much.

I would explore the gamine family first, starting with soft gamine
Hey! Thanks so much this is extremely helpful.
I am 5ft0 and “overweight” (mostly in my midsection) and my results are predictably all over the place even if i tried to ignore my weight so i havent the foggiest.. what do you make of this?!
Basically i have a large head, short neck/arms/legs. My arms are softer than my legs. I have a D cup. Most overt styles look exaggerated on me and few things that are an obvious specific style look authentic. I think i benefit from subtlety and balance.. does that jive with these answers below or do they suggest a type/blended type? Im soooo lost.
Thanks!

Hi, could you help me wth some insight into this, as I’m quite unsure & confused about my mixed results, and do not seem to actually fit into any Kibbe category? My answers are pretty much an even split between C, B and D/E, but at 175 cm tall, I seem to be excluded from all Classic categories that seem the closest fit, and also Soft Natural…?
(Frankly I’ve always been a bit confused by Kibbe, I fit much better into essences and relate to them much better, as there I know pretty much which are mine; also, there I have no Natural, so being placed to be in a Natural category in Kibbe seems odd to me… Though I do realize they are different systems ;).) Here are my answers:
Bone structure:

Body flesh:

15. D
If Kitchener’s essences work better then I would stick with that. But at your height you would have automatic vertical and could only be FN, D, or SD. Based on these answers I would say FN. FN in kibbe is different than Kitchener’s natural essence. In fact most of Kibbe’s FN’s could be described as “all american glamour” or super models.
Hello! I think I may be a pure romantic but I’m not for sure, I am 17, and my height is about 5’9. Here are my answers:

At your height you would have automatic vertical and could only be Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. At 17, kibbe would recommend you just have fun with style and not worry about your kibbe ID/”forever style”. Based on these answers I would explore being a curvy Flamboyant natural

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I may have made a mistake in the body flesh section. I work out consistently so I have a good amount of muscle but still appear soft. I have a naturally fuller face but not particularly broad. People around me say I have a petite frame but I don’t see that. I am 5’5-5’6 and have broad shoulders. I think I have a moderate hourglass but sometimes it looks pear.

Hi! I just found your page and am hoping you can help me! I’m 5’7” and very thin. Sloped shoulders, short waist, long legs. I took the quiz and seem to have yang body but yin face. I’ve always felt best in classic and minimal style. Can you help me understand the advice to emphasize vertical line when we’re already tall? I’d rather de-emphasize it since people already think I’m taller than I am. Why would we want to point out things that already feel problematic? I also don’t want to emphasize my short torso by tucking things in. Can you please help me figure out how Kibbe would categorize me?

At 5 ft 7 you would have automatic vertical in kibbe, so you’d explore the Dramtic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic id. Based on your answers i would explore dramatic or soft dramatic. It’s very common for people to feel like they have a yang body and yin face, but try to think about it more hollistically.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you for your response! I’m still unsure about why vertical types would want to emphasize that line. Also, why would the quiz ask about whether you look taller than you are if the height rules are set in stone?
So kibbe doesn’t recommend the quiz anymore. He originally included it in the book just for fun and because Quizzes were popular back then. He evolved his definition of vertical line to not be “taller than you appear” to be more DIY friendly and be evaluated by your height (5 ft 6 and above) or the length between you shoulder and knees. Kibbe is all about embracing your natural body lines, so if you have vertical you embrace it.
Hi Gabrielle,
New to this and so confused. Please help? I’m 5′-6 1/2″. With 5 D, 5 E, 4 C, and 1 B answers.
I’m a bit short-waisted, with equally wide shoulders, bust, and hips, with a noticeable waist to hip curve. My torso is curvy and wide in comparison to fairly dainty face, wrists, ankles, etc.
1) D

Thank you in advance!
So in kibbe you’d likely have automatic vertical and can only be Dramatic, Soft dramatic, or flamboyant natural. I’d explore soft dramatic first
@Gabrielle Arruda, thank you! Because curves are so dominant, I thought Romantic was a possibility.

I’ve been into kibbe for quite a while and I still don’t know what I am.
I wouldn’t really use the quiz as the determining factor to narrow down your results. Based on these answers you could absolutely be FN. If those results are working for you, then pursue that

Hello, just did the test! I am 5’6. I got 6-Bs,6-Cs, and 3-As (As all in the face, except jaw which was a B). Shoulders are broader than hips and look broader, yet I do have a smaller rib cage. Normal waste. Short legs for my longer torso and proportionate arms to my torso, I have a long neck. Small (B) bust that doesn’t change much. Would I be a Natural or a Dramatic classic? Thank-you for your insight!
IT would depend on where the answers fall, but at 5 ft 6 you would likely have vertical and be FN, D, or SD> Based on your answers generally I would explore FN
Having som problem with knowing which category i fall in. Would appreciate some advise

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for taking the time out to post this test. I am currently on a journey to finding out more about myself. That includes figuring out my female architype, my body type and learning how to style it. Would you mind helping me to understand my results a bit more?
I feel like I am between a Theatrical Romantic and Soft Gamine?
These were my answers:
Body Structure
1. B
2. E
3. B or C (My arms seem a little long, but my fingertips are about halfway down my thigh. They also seem proportionate to my torso and height)
4. B
Body Flesh
5. This question was tough. I answered D, but ultimately could not decide between that and E. I have more of a Spoon body shape going off of my measurements.
6. E
7. Again, this came down to D or E, but I chose D.
8. D
9. E
Facial Features
10. E
11. E

14. E
15. D
For reference: I am 230lbs and I am 5″4.
Thank you so much,
Ree <3
Based on these answers I would explore Soft natural first actually. But potentially soft gamine as well. These answers do not really reflet TR, but it is very common for ppl to get TR on the quiz and that’s why it’s not really used anymore.
So grateful you’re still answering these comments!

At your height you would have automatic vertical and most likely* be one of followings IDS: dramatic, flamboyant natural, or soft dramatic. Just based on these answers, which shouldn’t be used to verify it, I would explore soft dramatic firs.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Please don’t forget mine!
I don’t see yours, I’m sorry. BUt if you didn’t include your height, that’s maybe why I didn’t respond.

I would start with Soft Gamine, Romantic, and maybe Soft Classic based on this. But I do want to note that the quiz isn’t really used anymmore for typing because there is so much nuance to it, so if those don’t work, don’t be afraid to explore further
@Gabrielle Arruda, Thank you so much!
Great Article! I think I’m a soft classic but could use some help!

I understand that might scream soft classic and I dabbled in that for a while but found I needed a bit more structure with the softness. To give you a bit more detail in why this confuses me – I’m fairly balanced at 5’6 with even weight gain that starts in my bust and butt and then slightly more everywhere else. I do have a slightly elongated torso and narrow ribcage. My abs are always defined and muscular without working out and I tend to build muscle easily. I prefer to stay at 110-120 lbs because weight gain makes me feel and look chubby due to curve being so.. well, curvy and can run looking quite chubby if not defined. I get that that puts me in the soft category but I’m not sure where. I am also told often that I look 10 years younger but gamine is out of the question due to my height. Soft natural seems possible but there is no width. Soft dramatic looks too over the top. My friends and family all have different answers. What do you think? I tired of always looking slightly off and need some help please.
I don’t think the quiz is going to give you any more guidance than what you’ve already accumulated by trial and error. This quiz isn’t even used anymore for typing, and was more of a fun experiment when it was published. I’d start taking daily outfit photos and noting what elements and style principles you need in your clothes and then examine if these correlate to an ID. Experimentation and reflection will really be your best bet. I’m sorry I don’t have a more clear answer, but it’s just part of this style journey! Also, width doesn’t need to be a strong shoulder line or overly large. I have width but a generally narrow frame. But yes at 5 ft 6, it would be unlikely SC is your id.
Dear Gabriella
I have tried and tried, but I am so confused about my answers, is there no C and D dominant?
I am 173 cm. tall, and 66 kg and I accumulate weight mosly in my leg area, I have those saddleback thighs.
My lower legs and ankles are very strong and thick bones, my mother always jokes that the wind will never push me over, but at the same time I have a very long torso and short arms and very small hands. I feel like I’m one big contradiction.
Can you help me out?

So C+D would be soft classic. But since you are above 5 ft 6 inches you would most likely have kibbe vertical and be one of three ids: Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, and Flamboyant Natural. I would explore FN or SD first, but remember the quiz isn’t really used anymore because it’s much more nuanced than that.

At your height it’s very likely you have vertical and would be one of three ids in kibbe: Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Based on these answers I would explore Soft Dramatic first and determine if you have kibbe curve.
I’ve gotten mixed results, but this is my first time using my rear camera. I’ve also been exploring for about 4 months into the topic!! I always thought I was an FN according to the tests, but it’s never sat right. This time I got TR.
I’m 5’6” and here are my results if anyone can supply me with guidance!!
Also, my Kitchener essences are a 3 way tie between Romantic, Natural, and Ingenue

For reference 5’7
What do you do if you have a mix of features within a single question? For example, I have very long, delicate hands and wrists, and short, broad feet and thick ankles. (Result of a developmental genetic syndrome, but surely not all that uncommon?).
Having said, I am 5’11”, and I have a lot of lower body curve, so really the only relevant question is whether I have width or not. I am actually quite puzzled by this. I thought initially I was flamboyant natural. My shoulders are broad (19.5″), including compared to my ribcage, but my hips are proportionally broader (one or two dress sizes larger than my shoulders according to the average English sewing pattern*. And a straight line down from under the arm crosses well inside the hip-line).
I initially thought I did have width (i.e. was flamboyant natural) because my shoulders are so broad. However, from experience, I would say I don’t look good in styles of dress (empire, yoked without belt) that ignore the hip-spring. Whereas, if I understand the theory rightly, a flamboyant natural should look quite good in shoulder/vertical emphasis of that sort?
I need some definition in the waist or I look like a whale swimming in a sea of cloth… (my description, not anyone else’s!).
(*Shoulders size 22, bust 14/16, waist 18, and hips 24/26. Of the 5″ height above the standard English 5’6″ dressmaking figure, at least four of those inches are above the waist – i.e. my body is proportionately longer than my legs vs said standard pattern figure. I know in this detail because I resorted to dressmaking for the sake of being able to adjust the fit. People are usually surprised when I have occasion to tell them this: I don’t look as if I have extreme proportions to the casual eye :-S).
Am enjoying your site a lot 🙂
Hello Im Kayu,
im plus sized and always bullied for being overweight. im chubby and short and have an hourglass figure. Im not quite sure about my results, deep necklines look good on me. some necklines like boat neckline and turtleneck look way off on my body. Im losing weight but my back and front upper torso are straight with a bigger chest. I do have a high waist to hips ratio around 0,7 to 0.68. according to my pictures and outlines, I have round hips. I thought I had broad hands. but they’re shorter than my face, not delicate or extremely small, just smaller than my face. I have fleshy arms. I thought muscular/broad, but when standing relaxed, I noticed my arms being chubby, and short fleshy. I have sloped shoulders. Oh I tend to wear oversized clothes and my boyfriend said it makes me look bigger. I tried typing through stylist like Ellie. or tried the traditional fruit shapes stylists and it said hourglass / hourglass pear mix. However the kibble one was digital. and somehow boho clothes and I tried their pants type and jeans, somehow It doesn’t look good on me. Same for hair I thought I was SN. but after many pictures, and videos. they explained width and double curve. My bone from the shoulder runs round and my chest then pushes it out. my back is more straight and I don’t have a noticeable V back. I also forgot to say I typed my kibble body type, but I am plus sized and was eating a lot of junk food every week. not exercising, snacking a Lot. I just moved out but my body used to eat like triple the amount of calories. like 3000 to 3800 calories. I lived in an asian household. where we eat a lot of meat, and carbs like noodles and stuff.
I need help. here are my results. Im doubting, and I also have a negative self kind of view.

Hi Gabrielle!
I’m a bit confused about my results and was wondering if you might be able to clarify my Kibbe ID for me. It looks like I’m mostly a Classic but wasn’t sure which direction I’d go with that according to the results explanation.There were a few questions where I had a hard time choosing one answer over another, but below are my answers to the best of my ability.
P.S. My height is 5’1”.

So the quiz really isn’t used anymore. BUt based on this and your other comments with updated answers I would explore the gamine family first and maybe soft classic.
Hi again, to add, for #8, I chose C (I have hip dips) but I do feel that I don’t have much curve in my hips and always felt like they were more straight.
Hi there! I don’t think you’ve gotten to my comments yet but I wanted to update you on my quiz results after studying the questions better. Here are my updated answers- I still have the most C’s in my answers but some slight changes. I still can’t figure out if I’m a Dramatic Classic or a Soft Classic, please help! Thank you so much!

At your height you have automatic vertical in Kibbe. Based on your description I would start exploring the flamboyant natural Id
Hi, I am not sure about my results and if I´m soft gamine (what I think I am) or theatrical romantic as romantic style clothes look awful on me.

I’d explore both Id’s but if you’re drawn to soft gamine start there!

Hello Gabrielle,
I read about the new opinion of Kibbe about the test but I feel it can be very helpful for me. I think I’m DC and love the structured shapes. But looking on my pictures I’m looking broad, perhaps because I lost waist definition and gain weight with my pregnancy.

However I think I’m overthinking my results, can you help me? I’m 5’5 1/2 and most of my weight gathers in my hip and thighs but my chest area is rather broad. I feel my upper body is more angular than my lower being more curved and the same applies to my face.

Hello! I am having a bit of trouble figuring out which kibbe I am?

I am 5’4. I’ve also had results that leaned towards FG but the styles I have tried doesn’t seem to mesh well with my overall appearance. It feels like I’m playing dress up.

My weight gain patterns best line up with soft natural, I have very broad shoulders and gain very little weight around my hips or below, so I think I’m either a FG or SN but I’ve read if you have width you can’t be a Gamine, please help.
yes is if you have kibbe width you can’t get a gamine, you would be in the natural family. Width is an openness or emphasis in your upper torso, shoulders, or upper back. It allows fabric to kind of “hang” from your shoulders. If you think you have kibbe width, I’d explore Soft Natural. Soft Naturals are typically under 5 ft 6.

Hello! At a few question (almost half i realized now) i got stuck and had to think and squint real hard when looking at my pictures. I put the one I was thinking about into parenthesis in case i ended up with the wrong one after all. I am fairly sure and confident I’ve picked the right one tho. Does this mean i am a soft natural?
I am 5.2 and I thiiiiink i have width in my shoulders, especially from behind they are quite prominent and I need to accomodate for them in clothing from time to time.
My chest and waist has the same length horizontal line but my hips have a little longer line and my shoulders have the longest of them all. I also look quite soft in my flesh even tho i work out except for in my shoulders, they look sharp and broad in comparison to the rest of my body… my face is quite soft too except for my nose’s side profile and the fact that my face is oblong.
I realized this is information overload but I am so confused since someone else a few years ago typed me as a FG and that does not work at all. Too many details take over me but going neutral or Monochrome looks boring and stuffy on me.
Thank you so much for letting me comment
I would probably explore soft natural based on these answers, but again the test really isn’t used anymore, so take it with a grain of salt.
Hi Gabrielle!
Firstly, I love love love your videos and articles. Your approach to fashion and style gives me the confidence to actually give it a try. Thank you!
Secondly, I’m having a hard time interpreting my results, can you help?
(I’m 5’6, and the results seem to lean towards classic / soft classic? But then my face confused me with drama!)

Hi beautiful!
I’ve been trying to figure out my body type for so long, and I think your test was the most comprehensive one! Specially with the pictures and the descriptions.
The problem is that my results don’t seem to fall on any of the types?

Since I got the exact same number of B and C, I don’t really know where I fall.
Hoping you can help me!

I could really use some help with my results… (Broken down below) I have done it 3 times now. Twice myself and once with a third party to help get an accurate result.
I have mostly Cs but also a lot of E&D. I feel like I am landing in Soft Classic but am not confident…

I am also an hourglass (shoulders are an inch bigger than the hip measurement with the waist 8-10 inches smaller than the hips/shoulders. Bust is in-between shoulder/hip and waist measurement) How does this play into the Soft Classic?
I would really appreciate some clarity!
Thanks,
Breanna
Hi, Please include your height for any feedback.
@Gabrielle Arruda, Hi Gabrielle, I am 5′ 1.5″
Traditional fruit measurements don’t really apply to kibbe. But based on your height, description, and answers I would explore Soft Natural. Then maybe soft classic. But soft naturals often have an hourglass shape with a broader shoulder line and match with your height.
Thank you so much, I will look into that!

Hello,
I just did the test and I’m very confused with my results…
I am 172cm, but appear tall. I am slightly out of shape, so body flesh category was kind of challenging. I have quite a narrow breastplate and generally do not gain weight there (the only difference now that I gained weight, is that my ribs are not showing that much). I chose B for overall look (5), because of my rise (lower belly and hips). I have a long rise and generally gain weight in my hips and lower tummy. Now I resemble more of a pear shape. I had the most issue with the hips question (8), because I am not proportionate, but at the same time I don’t feel like other answers apply to me very well (also I have hip dips, even now at a bigger size they are kind of there just softer)
My results
Bone structure:
1. A

Overall result:

A, B and C seem so close together, I’m not sure how to process these results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Ellie
At your height you would have automatic vertical and be one of three IDs: Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, and Soft Dramatic. I would explore the flamboyant natural if you think B was your overal answer or Dramatic if you think you don’t have kibbe width.
Thank you so much for replying to my message.
Do you have any recommendations how to distinguish between the two, Dramatic and Flamboyant Natural? Like a “non-negotiable” for the type. Something that would look good only on one, but not the other?
Not really because Kibbe has emphasized it’s really about the head to toe look. It used to be widely suggested that narrow and sharp was for dramatics, but given the current fashion climate, the tailoring he was talking about isn’t found easily. So I would go off your essence then, are you more Regal Lady (dramatic) or Free spirit chic (FN)
Hi Gabrielle- please help me! I think I may be classic? I’m 5’5, and these are my answers. Thank you so much!

I would explore dramatic classic or potentially flamboyant natural based on this
Hi Gabrielle! I’m quite confused; I feel like I look most like SC or DC celebrities, but I think I’m a bit tall for it (5’7, 170-172 cm). I also considered the N family since I think I have some width, but I’m not naturally muscular.

So at 5 ft 7 you would be generally too tall for SC or DC. They are typically more moderate height, as kibbe has put automatic vertical at 5 ft 6 now. This would mean you should focus on Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Fn’s do not need to be naturally muscular. Look at Shirley McClain, Kibbe’s prime FN example, she’s not buff at all. I would explore N if you think you have kibbe width.

I would start by exploring the soft natural or potentially soft gamine
Hi, I’ve been very confused about my type for a while.
I’m 5’8″
1. CBBB
2. BCDCD
3. CBCDCD
It seems like structurally I’m pretty yang but my features and flesh are on the softer side but I know certain Kibbe types have height cutoffs which makes my typing confusing to me.
Thank you!
Yes, at your height you would have automatic vertical and you ids could be dramatic, flamboyant natural, or soft dramatic. based on your answers i would start with flamboyant natural. THey tend to have softer looking faces as well
Thank you!
Hi Gabriella! Thank you for all this incredible information.
I am having some trouble landing on what I am. I’m 5’9″ and people have always thought I was taller than that. I also have always been a bigger dress size than what people thought, even experienced shop assistants.
Bone: 1B, 2B, 3A, 4A
Body: 5D, 6C, 7C, 8D, 9A
Facial Features: 10B, 11B, 12B, 13E, 14E, 15E
Would flamboyant natural fit – or soft dramatic given facial features? Or something else? Thank you!!! Kate
Yes based on this I’d probably explore FN first. FN’s typically have softer facial features than SD
Hi, Gabrielle — thanks for an informative site! 🙂
I´m a bit confused about which Kibbe-type I am, and hope you maybe can help me.
I got these results from the quiz:
1. Height/vertical line: C or maybe D i feel the C and D pictures look a bit alike heightwise)
2. Shoulders: C, i think — they are not so broad, about same width as hips, but they are straight – not sloping downwards
(btw i have only very slightly visible collarbones, so not a “boney” look of the shoulder area overall)
3. Arms/legs: E? Fingertips reach only on upper thigh (butt height, haha)
BUT my hipbone is almost exactly my mid point at 80 cm, waist at belly button is at ca 90 cm of total lenght/height 160 cm, so i think that´s not E short legs? maybe C leg lenght?)
4. Hand size: E – small and a bit chubby/fleshy “childlike” hands
—–
5. Body shape (flesh): C? i´m overweight, so it is sometimes difficult to know if roundness is just because of the weight — but i know every Kibbe ID type can be overweight of course. I tend to gain weight in the mid section, so belly, less waist definition (but some), so NOT very defined hour glass shape. I have big boobs — but when i read about the Kibbe types weight gain pattern, it seems that every type gain weight from _hips down_, but i have not broad hips (rather moderate, like shoulder width) and not big butt and thighs — i´m more “apple shape” with boobs/belly)
I´ve never been on the broad/muscular side.
6. Bust/torso: E – prominent, busty.
7. Waistline: C? I feel like I´ve always had slightly defined waistline, but lesser with weightgain. Could be answer E “slightly defined but rounder”.
8. Hip shape: C – pretty moderate to waist but at a lower/normal weight it´s more difference, i don´t gain so much weight on the hips, but waist/mid section becomes rounder.
9. Upper arm and thigh flesh: D. Soft, but some definition, slightly shorter in proportion.
——————
10. Jawline shape: C i think, jaw is not sharp/angular. I have heard before that i have a “heartshaped face”, cause i have a small chin, but unfortunately due to weight i now have double chin. :´@ )
11. Nose shape: E – roundish and a bit “soft” button nose. Normal/small, not wide/broad bridge.
12. Cheekbone shape: C or D. Don´t have very visible/sharp/prominent cheekbones.
13. Eye shape: somewhere between C and E. My eyes are round and a bit large in my smallish face, but not overly large. Evenly spaced, not narrowly, not widely.
14. Lip shape: D? – slightly full with some roundness, but moderate and in balance with eyes and nose, not a full lush “big mouth”, but full/bigger compared to my short and small “pointy” chin.
15. Flesh on cheeks: C/D – gently soft/fleshy but NOT very round, full, applecheeks-like.
Have a bit of a “gamine-youthlike face”, but that is maybe more an “essence”-thing?
I guess my height of 160 cm rules out many of the types, but i feel like when i do this quiz the weight gain “roundness” pushes me into more D and E answers, which at a normal weight maybe had really been a C-answer. Hopes for some guidance. <3
So your height of 160 cm is roughly 5 ft 2, which would not preclude you from any ID’s. There are no lower height limits. The quiz is not used as a way to type yourself anymore, as people tend to not be able to view themselves holistically from it. Based on your answers though, I would say that you should explore the gamine family. Potentially the soft gamine ID first.
Hello Gabriel!. I am 159 cm in height and appear shorter than I am. I am confused on what type I am. Here are my answers :
1D
2C
3 between B & C
4C
5C
6C
7C
8 between B & C
9 between B & C
10E
11 either E or C
12E
13C
14D
15E
I really hope my query is answered. I can’t believe such great people are gonna answer my query.
I would start off my exploring the soft gamine or maybe the soft natural. But just be aware that the quiz is not really used anymore for typing. You need to take a holistic approach and examine your essence archetype.
Hello Gabrielle! This website is awesome. It explains each and every detail. I have got my answers but I am confused as to what my body type is. Can you please reply to my query?
My height is around 5’3″. I look a little bit shorter than I am. My weight is normal but I don’t look good when my belly comes out. My friends look better even though when they are heavier than me.
Bones: 1D ; 2C ; 3 between B & C ; 4C
Body: 5C ; 6C ; 7C ; 8 between B & C ; 9 between B & C
Facial Features: 10E ; 11 either E or C ; 12E ; 13C ; 14D ; 15E
I think my body is bit of soft type. I must say that Gabrielle is really awesome. To think that you are still answering the comments to this date…., that is really admirable.
I hope my query gets resolved.
I agree based on these answers you are likely a softer type, but just know that the quiz isn’t used as a determining factor anymore. I’d explore Soft Gamine, Soft Natural, or Soft Classic to start.
Hi Gabrielle!!!
I am 5’ 7.25” and just took the test for the first time. I think I’m a dramatic because of all the A answers but I feel like my face is not very dramatic from the answers so i feel disconnected from my dramatic result but I may have also picked the wrong answer for some( I found some quite hard to understand but I think that’s a me problem). Anyway here are my answers.

Dramatic could definitely be a possibility. Dramatics are not all “super sharp” in the face like Tilda Swinton or Cate Blanchett. Some have very soft features like Alexis Smith or Sheryl Lee Ralph.

I just edited out the weight because that’s not pertinent, Based on these answers you might want to start with soft classic. BUt don’t use this as a determining ID because a lot of people start with Soft Classic at first when they take the quiz.
Hi Gabriella,
thanks for the comprehensive guide and test.
I just took the test and carefully “choose” my answers but I am still quite unsure.
My answers are the following. I am 168cm. I have checked each answer twice and evaluated before looking at the corresponding results. I am still stuck however 🙁
1 B
2 C
3 C / D (this was the hardest for me, I am not quite sure)
4 C (I think. I have very narrow and long feet/toes, but my hands are neither long or short and my fingers are proportionally sized/slim. My hands are about the lenght of my face, but much slimmer)

Love,
Lilly
Hi Lily! Remember that the test is really not a final determination for your id, and that kibbe can be much more nuanced than the quiz suggests. At 168 cm you are just short of automatic vertical which starts at 5 ft 6. I suggest you start with the soft natural ID and then maybe explore the classic family. But if that doesn’t feel right, then it’s best to start without the quiz in mind.

At 5 ft 6 you would have automatic vertical in the Kibbe system and be one of three Ids: Dramatic, Soft dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural. Based on your answers I would explore Dramatic first, and then maybe Soft Dramatic

So the quiz really isn’t used anymore to determine an ID because it can be difficult to answer and perceive ourselves holistically when we are answering indivdiual body part questions. Based on your answers you seem to be yin-leaning. So you might start by exploring the romantics or soft gamine.

Hi, at 5 ft 9 in Kibbe you would have automatic vertical so you could only be Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, or Soft Dramatic. Based on your answers I might suggest you start with exploring the Flamboyant Natural.
Hi Gabrielle,
I’m 5’8″. I struggled with deciding on some of my answers, and I think my results conflict with my height (pretty tall, but I don’t look taller than I am; nobody guesses I’m 6′ for example). Please could you help me? My results (I think) were as follows:
1. B
2. C
3. E

5. D
6. C
7. B/C
8. D
9. D/E
10. C
11. C
12. A/B
13. C
14. C/D
15. Really not sure. Pretty certain not A. I thought B/D because weight gain has made a big difference. Just not sure on the difference between puffy and full.
My head looks a bit small for the rest of my body to me, but my facial features fit pretty evenly. I definitely have long line from shoulder to knee, but my arms and lower legs are quite short. Pre-weight gain, I was quite straight, but now I’m definitely more hourglassy/a juicy-hipped pear (definitely always hip-dominant, not shoulder-dominant). Exercise makes a big difference to me – I go from toned and muscular-shapely to soft, sinuous, rounded shapely. When trying other ways to guess my Kibbe type, I’ve been torn between SD and FN but I’d love to be able to decide between the two.
At your height you would have automatic vertical and SD or FN could both be possible. I would explore them both and also their corresponding essences. SD being diva chic and FN being free spirit chic.
Thank you very much. I definitely have more natural essence but still some SD glamour. I think I’m FN, but wavy rather than straight. To make that distinction clearer without flitting between the two types, I’m calling myself a soft flamboyant natural with “elegant free spirit chic” 🙂
I think a lot of FN’s have a glamorous vibe, in fact one time I read that Kibbe referred to FN’s as “all american glamour”, which I resonated with. But i love how you framed it with your essence shift
Hi Gabrielle, first of all: thank you for your amazing content. I have found you on Pinterest and since them have watched all your videos on Youtube about Kibbe & essences. I have read this article carrefully 2 times and eveb after studying and watching your channel and I still confused about my Kibbe. Will you be so kind and give your advise based on my anwsers? I would be forevee grateful! Heart warming regards from Brazil. Please see my test:

My height is 5.57.
My body features are balanced. The question that asks if arms and legs looks long or short twists my mind so much because my arms are on the short side( doesnt reach the half way of my tights) however my legs are long and look long. I have a soft hourglass shape, some waist even when gain weight. Upper arms and upper tights veru fleshy. Round cheeck bones, flesh breast, fleshy lips. So on my test i have 7 C answers and all others either D or E. Am I a soft classic? I feel I could be missing something. I definetely have lots of romantic essence on me and some drama. You imput would mean the world to me. Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Hi! I’m so glad you found the content helpful. At your height you are very close to automatic vertical, so I wouldn’t eliminate the possibility of being Dramatic, Soft Dramatic or Flamboyant Natural. You could explore Soft Classic, but at your height it’s veering into an unlikely option. If you think you have romantic and dramatic I might also suggest your explore the Soft Dramatic
Hi, Gabrielle! I’m having some trouble figuring out my answers, could you please help? I’m 5’5″ and have always had pretty big hips/thighs, staying fairly soft in appearance at any weight/level of fitness, with the exception of my shoulders. Thank you in advance!

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for your help with this! Like the other comments, I’m having trouble determining my kibbe body type. I initially thought I might be a soft dramatic based on some pictures I saw, but my answers don’t seem to match that. I’m 1.78 meters tall (5’10” I believe).
Could you please give me your advice based on my answers and my height? I would be incredibly grateful! Warm regards from Argentina 🙂

Hi Gabrielle! I want to thank you for all the effort you put into this explanation. I’ve been reading about the kibbe system for some time but I am still very confused about my ID because my results seem all over the place, so I’d like to know your opinion about which IDs should explore.
For context, my height is 5ft 3 and I have a very lean torso (I never seem to gain weight from the hips up) but then my thighs and butt are very fleshy in contrast. Also, I always have to look out how clothes fit around my shoulders, which makes me think I might have width.
As for my face, I have rounded eyes, fleshy cheekbones and jawline, but then my nose is very aquiline/sharp.
These were my test results. Thank you!

You could be SD or potentially FN based solely on this, but I’d explore the essence of each as well because FN’s and SDs can both have similar lines with T-Shape
Thank you so much. I agree. I’d describe my style as curvaceous Stevie Nicks as a librarian in the 90s.

At your height you could be either but your answers don’t lean towards Theatrical Romantic. I would probably start by exploring Soft Gamine or Romantic, but just remember the test isn’t used anymore for a fully accurate result
Hi Gabrielle! I don’t know if you’re still helping out with comments, but if you are, I’d love your opinion! I was typed as a soft classic before (virtual) but the style recommendations have not been resonating with me, which is how I wound up here!

The test isn’t really used anymore, but if SC isn’t resonating I’d explore Soft Gamine based on these answers. Perhaps it’s an essence mismatch, at 5 ft 3 you could be either.
Hi Gabrielle,
First of all, thank you SO much for the article: it’s super insightful!
Honestly, all your content is amazing and I absolutely love your style, inside and out!
I’m struggling to identify my Kibbe ID… Could you help me?
I mostly have B and D answers, which would suggest Soft Natural, but I’m quite tall (5 ft 8.5).
Bone structure
1. A or B (not sure because I’m tall and people perceive me as taller, but I’m not narrow)
2. B or C
3. A or B (not sure because my arms and legs are elongated but not narrow nor muscular)
4. B
Body Flesh
1. D
2. B
3. D
4. D
5. B or D (not sure because they are elongated but not muscular. They’re a bit soft but not short)
Facial Features
1. D
2. B
3. B, D or E (not sure at all)
4. E
5. D
6. D
My face is oval and long but soft and not “defined”.
Thank you so much!
Anna
Since you’re over 5 ft 6 you would have Kibbe vertical. I’d explore the Flamboyant Natural. There are many conventionally curvy women like Tracie Ellis Ross and Jennifer Lawrence who are Flamboyant Naturals.
SO GOOD. I’m easy and got all A, which I already knew, but your quiz is THE BEST. Finding the Kibbe system and that I’m a Dramatic made so many things in my life *make sense*.
Do you also talk about essences? I lean into Ethereal, which from what I understand makes sense with being extremely light complected. But would it be possible to also lean into the Gamine essence? My personality is playful and I’ve loved casual, boyish styles since childhood! If you’re still answering from this post I would love to know your thoughts! Thank you!
I have a whole youtube series on the Kitchener essence system you might enjoy. I’m not sure Ethereal/gamine is a super common blend but if you feel it’s where you fit, I’d explore it!!
Hi Gabrielle,
thanks so much for creating this quiz, it is by far the most easily understandable one I’ve found! I was just wondering if you could please help me with my results? I’ve been trying to type myself for a while but have struggled to figure it out. for reference I am 165cm (so 5ft5 I think) and I am very short waisted. my bust is only more in proportion with my hips since I had a baby and when I gain weight I definitely become more pear shaped, but my waist is still noticable even though I’m quite soft/curvy in my hips and thighs.
these were my answers:
C

thanks so much again, hope to hear back from you and am excited to have some guidance haha!
The quiz isn’t really used anymore because it’s much more nuanced than just individual body parts and does include your essence. But based on your height and your answers you may find it helpful to explore the Soft Classic or maybe the soft gamine.

I’m 5’ 6.5” (169.7 cm). I have a quite clearly defined waist and hip dips and broad shoulders. My legs are also quite long and my jawline is one curved line. I hope this helps and I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
At your height you would have automatic vertical and could be Dramatic, Soft Dramatic or Flamboyant Natural. Based on your answers i would start with Flamboyant natural. They can have defined waists!
Hello Gabrielle, thank you for creating this quiz/guide! I know you mentioned in your previous replies that this test is no longer used as a main ID for body type as essence is important as well, but I believe that my results may give me a start towards the right direction. Based on the results I would be a classic, but I would love to know your input at well.

I have really enjoyed your articles, but after taking this quiz I am completely stumped because I got almost an even amount of each letter. What does that mean and what can I do to figure this out? I’m 5’3.5 and old (65) with a very different body than when young (i.e. very thick, wide waist). Does that make a huge difference? I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

I am 162cm, 5.3; my current weight is 75 kg, 165 lbs. I am currently 10 kg above my preferred weight but my proportions didn’t change that much.

Hello Gabrielle,
I live your content. I tried to complete kibbe test before, but I Has trouble visualizing body Parts. Your version is the best I’ve seen so far. However I still cannot find ID which will feel right.
My main issue is that I’m 158cm, have almost no visible waistline, but I have “round booty”, but mostly on the behind, with the hip dips. I put on weight mostly and firstly on my abdominal, and even with small extra weight I Look heavy, also because I have muscular calves. And due to that I cannot find ID I would fit.
My answers are:
Bones: D, A, D, E
Body flesh: B, B, B, B, D
Face: D, E, A, C, E, A
Would you be do kind to suggest which type you think I fit into?
Thank you do much!

Hi! I’m hoping you could still provide some guidance for me.
I am 5’6″ – and 3/4″ 🙂
I believe I am all C’s for Bone & Skeletal
C’s for Flesh, except Q. 6 Bust and Upper as D
C’s for Facial, except Q. 10 Jawline shape as A
Would I by Kibbe definition be Soft Classic or Dramatic Classic? Or could I lean both ways?
Thank you!
At your height you would have automatic vertical in Kibbe and your options would be dramatic, soft dramtic, or flamboyant natural. Kibbe’s new book might be a helpful place to start- it’s a much more updated approach
Thank you for your feedback – it was helpful! I will check out the new book. I’ve also checked your suggested ID’s out in more detail. I think with my broad shoulders, short waist and long legs, I may be flamboyant natural. Curious though, could I not still be a DC at 5’7″ or do my broad shoulder rule that out anyways?

Hi Gabrielle,
You have a very informative website. I found a lot valuable insights especially about clothing. I would really appreciate a little assistance with my answers. I’ve been interested the Kibbe body type system since my teenage years, yet I still cannot determine what body type I may have. Always thought that I could be a gamine, but now after some observations I start lean toward romantic…

Hi – I need to get out of this rabbit hole! I came across Kibbe looking for advice for petite pear shaped women. Need to get out of my WFH sweatpants rut. Your website is very helpful, and I love your attitude to all of this, but can you please help me interpret my answers? Am I a theatrical romantic or a soft gamine?
I’m 4’10” and about 107lbs, at 55 years old, so wider in the upper thighs/hips and softer in the upper arms than I used to be. Flat belly, though, due to a breast reconstruction surgery. Small breasted. Proportionately large hands/feet (Dutch heritage) and a prominent nose.

Hi, Gabrielle. I’ve been down the Kibbe rabbit hole in the past few months, struggling to find my ID. As a tall girl, I theoretically fall into one of the three “tall” body types (FN, SD, D). There’s a twist – I have one of those “hard-to-type” bodies. Although I have the automatic vertical at 5’8-5’9, my upper frame doesn’t really read as “open” and “wide” as a FN does (I always need to size down when shopping for jackets, clothes, and blazers – and those tend to be structured pieces). I’ve concluded that I’m too soft and fleshy to be a D, yet I haven’t seen much non-curvy, non-hourglass SD representation. So, here are my answers:
Part 1: Bone structure
1. B – Vertical line is moderately long
2. C – Shoulders are symmetrical and even
3. B – Arms and legs are elongated, slightly broad
4. C – Hands and feet are moderate
5. C – Body shape is moderate and proportionate
Part 2: Body flesh
6. C – Bustline is moderate and proportionate to the waist and the hips.
7. C – Waistline is moderate, slightly defined
8. B – Hip line is straight and somewhat wide
9. D – Upper arm and thigh flesh is soft, but some definition
Part 3: Facial features
10. E – Jawline shape is rounded, softly broad
11. B – Nose shape is broad and blunt, on the larger side
12. E – Cheekbone shape is rounded, full, and soft
13. E – Eye shape is very round and large
14. D – Lip shape is slightly full with some roundness
15. E – Flesh on cheeks is very round (no matter weight fluctuations)
Could you help me solve this dilemma once and for all?
P.S. I forgot to mention that my facial features have Ingenue and Romantic essences. My clothing pieces fall halfway between FN and DC silhouettes, with some TR, R, and FG accents thrown in here and there.
BONE STRUCTURE
1C: I am 5’ 7.5”
2B/E: This one was tough for me. I am either B (blunt, broad) or E (sloped, rounded).

4B
BODY FLESH

8C: This one was also a challenge as my butt and thighs are “thick,” but from the front, my actual hips are not much wider than my bustline, and I have hip dips. So I went with C.
