![]() ![]() Soft, draped necklines (may be high or plunging). Broad shoulders (pads with soft edges are best). Avoid: Heavy fabrics that create a stiff shape.Soft and plush textures with a deep pile. FABRIC: Lightweight fabrics that drape easily and flow gracefully (silks, crepe, challis, handkerchief linen, jersey).LINE AND SILHOUETTE: “T” silhouette: broad shoulders with an elongated vertical that is draped.SHAPE: Bold geometrics with soft edges.The following recommendations will be taken into consideration for each garment type listed below: The following are Kibbe’s recommendations regarding the clothing and style choices that best suit his Soft Dramatic image ID. Be symmetrical in body type or facial characteristics.Have delicate or small facial features.Be overly petite, or small in stature, with short limbs.Have small hands and feet, or a delicate bone structure.If overweight: Heaviness is seen at the fleshiest parts of the body the bust, hips, waist, thighs, upper arms, and especially in the face. ![]() Hair: Extreme textures. Coarse and wavy, or fine and silky (wispy).Ĭoloring: Any coloring is possible (warm or cool, high-contrast or blended), but a Soft Dramatic is usually distinct, either fair, rich or vivid. ![]() This is not true, for the extreme length offsets the narrowness.įacial features: Full, lush, sensual, and exotic. Large eyes, full lips, fleshy cheeks. Height: Moderate to tall, usually 5 feet 5 inches and over.īody type: Fleshy (unless ultra-thin), particularly through the bust and hip area. Usually have long legs and arms, which can become fleshy in the upper arm and thigh areas without exercise. Usually have moderate-sized waist, which can become thick.īone structure: Large and angular. Long limbs, and large hands and feet (may be long or narrow, or wide). Facial bones are prominent or sharp (nose, cheekbones, jawline). If your bone structure is narrow (particularly the shoulders, hands, feet, wrists, or angles), you may think of yourself as delicate. Therefore, slight deviation here or there is always possible and should not be worried over if it does not upset your Yin/Yang balance of a bold, exotic physicality that is combined with a powerful sensual essence. It is the overall combination of bold Yang with a pronounced Yin undercurrent that creates this Image Identity category. NOTE: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Soft Dramatic. The following are Kibbe’s descriptions of a Soft Dramatic Body Type: Kibbe’s Soft Dramatic is described as a “Diva Chic.” You can read more about Kibbe’s Soft Dramatic here. It is about opulence, sweeping drama, and large, ornate shapes. So with this week’s look at Soft Dramatic remember that this is someone who would fit into the Dramatic category (long vertical line and angular), but now with softer yin curves on top of it all. For the “soft” categories, I think the bone structure is what determines the main type, and the fleshy features of a person that make them a bit soft. As we delve into the subtypes, I think it is important to remember that these fall into the main type, but with a little bit “extra” yin or yang. As always, you may want some tea.Īt this point we’ve learned about the 5 basic categories with Kibbe’s Dramatic, Romantic, Classic, Gamine, and Natural. The posts in this series are intended to be a well researched and thorough investigation of the Kibbe style recommendations, along with several example patterns for each “level of dress.” The posts in this series will be picture heavy and quite lengthy.
