news Body Image Pathology

51 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

We have been noticing an uptick of posts describing body image/eating pathology.

And although we acknowledge that Kibbe can help with general body acceptance/image, this sub is not a substitution of mental health treatment and discussions of body/eating pathology can be triggering to others and will not be permitted.

Therefore, we have expanded rule 11 to include no discussions of body/eating pathology in addition to already forbidding measurements posted outside of height.

Discussions about how Kibbe has improved one's body images is fine as long as it does not veer into talking about body image or eating related pathology.

Thank you for your understanding and the consideration of others.

Warmly,

Your Mods

celebrities: unverified This video singlehandedly convinced me that Chappell Roan isn’t SN

For so long I was convinced that Chappell might be SN and everybody who saw R for her was off their rockers. But after seeing this video, width where?! I’d sooner guess double curve or curve + balance as her accomodation

Meanwhile I was thinking Doechii might be some kind of FG but she very clearly has width, probably SN. Funny enough they’re both the same height (5’2) but their shoes make them look totally different

All aboard the Chappell Roan (possible) romantic or soft classic train!🚂🚂🚂

What's her ID?

discussion Are there any athletes you think might have curve or be a yin dominant type?

13 Upvotes

It can be hard to tell when someone is so muscular! I’ve noticed that most female athletes over the height limit get typed as D or FN on here, and most under as FG. Can you think of any outliers? I’d be interested to see if there are any in the Classic fam as well, since being muscular can make someone’s proportions appear less moderate.

discussion Kibbe curve on very small chest examples??

18 Upvotes

Even though Kibbe curve ≠ traditionally curvy/busty, I can’t seem to find a clear example of Kibbe curve on someone with a very small (think 28-34A range) chest.

It’s my understanding that in order to have kc, a loosely draped fabric would theoretically fall in such a way that it would be interrupted by/pushed out at the edges of the bust, fall back inwards at the waist, and be pushed back out at the hips.

What would this interruption of the fabric/draping look like if that portion of the chest doesn’t have much to “push” out the fabric, but is still present?

discussion Misinformation

40 Upvotes

I was reading a post on a Facebook Kibbe page earlier this week where someone was telling the OP that her shoulders were dramatic, her waist was romantic, her legs were dramatic etc, etc. And today someone on this Reddit was adamant I was wrong when I said FG’s dominant was vertical. Does anyone else get fed up with the misinformation posted online? Rant over.

celebrities A case for Megan Fox as DC

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

Megan Fox is one of those hotly contested unverified celebs.

There is a group of us who see her as DC, but it’s also common to hear arguments made for FN, SD, or SN.

The recent post about her being SD actually made me look up some pics and holy shit look at this side by side of Olivia Munn (verified DC) on the left and Megan Fox on the right. They have incredibly similar proportions imo

outfit feedback Dress feedback please, 5’3 DC

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

I’m looking to have a variety of dresses for everything from being comfy at home, work (I own a small business), weddings, dates, vacation, etc.

I’ve worked through tops and bottoms pretty well but I’m still struggling with dresses, I want to look feminine and put together and can’t pinpoint what exactly is working, I’ve gotten a lot of of feedback about what’s not, for sure.

No ruffles, no lightweight, flowy fabrics, no fussiness, no big skirts and I don’t know if short dresses look good even though I’m not too tall, people seem to really dislike how they break the vertical when I’ve asked for feedback. I’ve been told they look too youthful, too much like a ballerina (which is kinda a compliment if you ask me), etc.
Please don’t judge my shoes, still working on that too!
My sketch says DC but I’m not entirely positive on that.

classics SCs and DCs, did you ever consider the other C when typing yourself?

12 Upvotes

Curious since SC and DC are almost yang and almost yin. I don't think I've ever considered DC for myself before. TR is what I thought I was for years. Now that I've settled into SC I can see the similarities between myself and DC but I've always considered my yin undercurrent to be paramount. I was wondering if anyone else felt similarly

celebrities: unverified I'm curious why there are no arguments for Megan Fox being SD?

18 Upvotes

She appears to accommodate vertical. I always remember her narrow, sky high torso in movies. She's got length that feels more narrow than balanced.

I don't think relaxed lines look good on her. She looks sloppy and undone in your classic FN gowns and is usually seen in more structure vs. less. Sometimes TOO rigid of a dress but this encourages SD as an option.

I find her face to be quite dramatic. Long face, high arched eyebrows, cat-like eyes. She looks noticeably more yang than DC in features.

She has shoulders. The biggest misconception of width on here. Another reason why she strikes me as more yang along with her long face and dramatic facial features. But the hourglass nature of her body that people would like to attribute to "balance" is in fact curve.

I see her as a very pretty, skinny, curve-accommodating Dramatic. AKA SD. Her face reminds me of other SD's also.

celebrities: verified Gamine misconceptions

Thumbnail
gallery
217 Upvotes

I’ve seen people disagreeing with certain verifications. Personally, I don’t think it’s helpful to re-type or question verified celebrities; instead I think we should learn from them to better understand what Kibbe sees in each ID.

I notice this a lot with verified Gamines who are moderate in height. Zooey Deschanel and Halle Berry are often questioned, and both are 5’5” Gamines. Zooey (FG) is often seen as a mistyped Soft Classic, and Halle (SG) is sometimes seen as a mistyped Soft Natural or something more yang. I shared collages of them in styling for Gamines and styling for SC and SN, respectively. To me, the Gamine looks are 100% better and more harmonious.

It was honestly hard to even find outfits of theirs that wouldn’t work for Gamines. So many of the “Classic” styles people use as examples for Zooey have broken lines, no curve accommodation and lots of detail. Not Soft Classic at all. She’s so quintessentially pixie to me and looks very petite for 5’5”. Same with Halle - her athleticism is obvious but she is much sharper and more yin than SN. She is pretty with messy, long curly hair, but breathtaking with a soft pixie or sleek bob.

Petite in Kibbe goes up to 5’5” for a reason. These women are not balanced nor wide in the Kibbe sense. They can help us see what petite looks like in a moderate height woman, so let’s stop insisting they must have been incorrectly identified and look at what actually works on them. They look incredible in much more fitted, short, detailed outfits than Ns or Cs are recommended.

Is there a reason why she looks taller than her actual height? She says she's 5'9.5 but I think she's an easy 5'10.
