Maybe Aly should just go around every single person in the world and tell them their body type individually? That's the only way I think I'll be able to figure it out😂xx

Aly, it would be nice to have a video on how different body types gain weight.

The more videos about Kibbe I see, the less I understand. 😂

"people categorize themselves to classic just because they thought they're just average" UHH i feel attack 😅

Essence is so important. It’s the undervalued aspect of Kibbe that no one considers. I find most accurate results come from NOT over analyzing.

When Aly is in the desk you know she means business

Something that helped for me, was realizing it wasn't that important to find my kibbe body type, it was to understand the system, my lines, my body. At a certain moment I was wondering between soft natural and soft dramatic, when I realized it didn't matter, what I needed to do was understand my own posture, and understand what clothes suited me, and why. Also, for me, it helped to stop looking at pinterest boards, because it tends to focus on a certain style, and it doesn't explain why this dress would look good on a type, just 'this dress looks good on ...", and because of that, it's easy to forget it's not about that dress, it's about understanding why that dress suits you (and why you can use the same information of that dress on sweaters, shirts, skirts, etc.). Also, it doesn't help it's usually a certain style. I really struggled to figure out if I might be a soft dramatic, because I just really didn't like the clothing style suggested.

I thought i was close to soft classic but now i have no idea again XD by the time Aly uploads next video, I'll probably believe I'm dramatic

I wish I met Aly in person so she could analyze my body type 😂 it’s so hard to “self diagnose” cause we are used to our features so nothing seems too sharp or too soft

Seeing a notification from Aly means leaving everything else I am doing at the moment.

Can you talk about big /long noses? We never see them in the media and I think that’s why many of us big nose beauty’s think that our noses are ugly

Aly, you could make bank telling people what body type they are from photos! If you do, Im in!

I thought I was TR, because of many "stereotypes" about romantic body. But actually I realised that I am just a skinny romantic.

In all of your videos about the body types, you explain it so well, and I'm always like, "oh yeah, I understand, it's so simple!" And then I look in the mirror and have no idea what I'm looking at haha

Can you make a video on differences between theatrical romantic and soft gamine?

Now I need a body type of hands and feet 😆

I'd like to see the pics comparing yourself to Marilyn!

Didn't see the video yet but your decoration is gorgeous!!!!! Love the contrast of color beetwen the walls against the sofa(couch? I don't know the difference) and plants!

You are THE ONLY person who talks about this who makes sense. I love your work!

Will you continue the series comparing one type with all the others? It's really helpful:)

This was so helpful! xx

I love your videos, you have so much knowledge about the body types! Thank you for putting so much time and energy on them! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

I just have to say that Katy Perry's current style is so ill fitting for her. She's free to express herself however she pleases but it just looks so contradictory.

Aly, you are Incredibly talented in so many areas! I enjoy your body type videos but there is so much information in each one that I end up feeling overwhelmed and confused. Would love to see you focus on each particular Kibbe question in a separate video with lots of examples. Great work, though, in all your videos!

I'd love to see a video where you analyze good and bad examples of plastic surgery in relation to kibbe types. I remember one video of yours called "would lip fillers suit me" and I found it very interesting.

You clarified alot up I found confusing in understanding the body types... and I'm still learning, but the more I watch your videos the more understanding I get. In the beginning I thought I must be a gamine because I'm only 5'1" and look young for my age but my answers didn't fit exactly so I was confused... but one day it clicked and I knew I was a TR. I 💗 your videos, Aly, and just how talented you are here, and with your music!!!

Im really into these type of videos about confusion in kibbe type,open my mind a lot! Im still just a beginner though,but keep up the good work!😊😊

I took a picture with my mother last year with the same expresion, lighting and angle. I was shocked by how prominent my facial features were and how obviusly yang i am, and how delicate she look next to me. She is SG I am SN.

Hii Aly 💕 I would love to hear you talking more about the essences of each body type

I was just researching what body type I actually am, what perfect timing! Thank you!

I really like your channel and the explanation of the Kibbe system. I found out in your detailed video of the body types that I am a dramatic classic. Then, I looked up the clothes best suited for that type and a lot of them are clothes I have and feel they look best in me anyway! I like to change up my look every so often, but the basics tell the true story. 😊

The red sweater had a good picture of Shakira and Beyonce where you really see what a straight waist is: no one would say Shakira had a straight figure but her waistline appears much smoother than Beyonces

I'm confused as an Asian. Because most of informations and inspirations are based on europeans. But our bones and size are obviously different. Is there any chance you will do an asian kibbe? It's like, I've been searching it myself but i kind of trust you more lmao. Anyway, good information as always. Love from SEA 💓 Ps. Sorry for my poor english.

I’m so confused!!! It’s a mystery that needs to be solved. Thanks for the tips!

thank you! i really enjoy learning about these body types. i like very feminine and cute fashion however classic suits, long straight cut jackets and something with very strict shape fits me the best. i never could understand why until i learned about my body type, i indeed am dramatic! it helps me now to choose the right outfit or to adjust it to fit me better.

Congratulations for the 600k you deserve 600 millions ❤❤

The setting looks so beaufitul!!! ✨♥️

We definitely need more of these! I confuse myself as TR (tested as) and SC because my face is angular, but my shoulders and upper torso are wide. ugh.

The more I get into this the more confused I am about myself. Also the more I get into it trying to figure it out

Oh I missed your kibbevideos!!! Mooore please😍!! I love that your 3 plants are 3 different kibbe types🤓😁😁

When I first discovered your channel and your videos about Body types I was confused as well. I watched and re-watched over and over the videos and did the test, took pictures, did thr test again. I was not really aware of my body but in the end I nailed it. I am a flamboyant natural and those hands of Claudia Schiffer look just like mine, lol😁. And that only reniforces my thoughts: girls, don't try to identificate after just one video. I watched all Aly's videos a few times until I got it right. It's a process of self-discovery❤

Taking a look on pictures/photos of myself, that was my solution. I could recognize much more easily my Kibbe Type than as if I looked into the mirror. Collecting several photos, also older ones, gave me the best impression of what I really am (Flamboyant Gamine, as I know now).

I think one of the confusions is that Kibbe types are viewed as categories with firm distinctions, rather than yin/yang influence on a continuum. It might be nice to consider what the body types can “get away with”-e.g., photos of Naturals getting away with dressing Gamine, but not with dressing Romantic (or whatever)...

I would be really interested in more comparison videos to train my eye. Especially for types that seem similar like dramatic/flamboyant natural or soft classic/soft natural etc.

I really need you as my personal styler 🤣... would love to discuss fashion and style with you. The only RU-vidr that actually know about all this and promotes natural beauty and that your flaws are your strengths. Keep it up, if you ever want to come to Stockholm feel free to address me you will be so welcome !

Thank you for this! I kept getting told I was a dramatic classic because of my face but I always thought I was natural/flamboyant natural.

600k!!! Congrats 💖💖💖

I finally hit the nail on the head with this video, thank you, Aly!!!!! this really helped :)

Your gamine- essence is truly recognizable and fits you so well hahahah

yeeesss love those series !!

Love this video!! Looking forward to more Kibbe content on your channel. :) I discovered Kibbe from your channel and I've had so much fun learning more about the system. Thanks for the work you put in :)

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you sharing

Wow I always wondered why you’d always mention celebrities not being the best to learn with thanks for going and showing your insight

Hi Aly, just a suggestion. Typing is really hard when you could have many characteristics. Also if you lift weights too it seems you can almost change your body type. Can you maybe do a series on straightforward style types, as in "if you have short legs, and want to make them look longer do ___" (you could do shorter, thinner, wider, etc.) maybe for each body part itself? Then we can assemble a wardrobe accordingly. You could make this part of your patreon account

Ally, could you pls teach us how to be more other styles? For example, how dramatics can look less defiant and softer, how romantics can look more assertive, etc.

You look so happy and confident Aly! How is Florida?

It would so amazing if you would offer personal consultations or sone way to help categorize someone and give individual insight, recommendations etc. somehow to help type people. I would pay for this in a heart beat. Please consider doing this, I’m struggling to figure out what I am and as soon as I think I got it, I learn more or realize I’m not certain anymore. I love how you are teaching and helping people realize we are all different and beautiful. I have daughters and hope I can pass some of this on to help them. ❤❤❤❤thank you

Only thing I'm sure is that I'm not a romantic. Thank you boy hands.

Personal consultations please :puppy eyes:

3:40 asparagus😕⁉️

That's great. Great explanations. I was wondering if the aging process on a body/face is a bit of a "fake out" like losing or gaining weight? When I was younger, I had more collagen. My face was still an oval, but cheeks and lips were plumper. Now that I'm older and probably 10-15 lighter, I see more of a "gaunt, chiseled dramatic". Even though a lot of people think I'm an FN. Just curious your take on this.

This Kibbe system is so confusing to me. Specially with body dysmorphia. Can you please make a video about Kibbe essence ?

Dear Aly, thank you for your generosity with this work! I'm 40 years old and fought with her body my whole live. Probably for that I'm having difficulty in figuring my body type - but I'm really making an counscious effort to change and feeling comfortable and pretty on my own skin. Is there any way I can contact you for personalised help? Is that something you do? Even if this is not possible, I that the opportunity to congratulate you on your dedicated work, your research and all the efforts you put in sharing it with the world. Thank you. Please, do keep up with your great work! All the best! Ana

That is a very interesting video, Aly. When I take the Kibbe test - which I've done several times - I always get different results. The first thing that confuses me is indeed how to deal with overweight. Since I've been overweight my entire life I don't know how fleshy my arms would be if I were slim. I can't even compare myself to celebrities because it's hard to see similarities in someone who has a completely different figure. Height is also an issue. The question ist: "How are you perceived?" But in the answers it says "you are tall" or "you are short". These are two very different things. I'm 1,80m. Does that mean that I can narrow down the types to dramatic and flamboyant natural? Love your videos. They are so informative, well structured and precise.

I’d love it if you did a video where viewers send in photos of themselves for you to class their Kibbe body type

Thank you. these vids are super helpful.

Aly, this hair color is YOUR COLOR. it's the most perfectly fitting for you!

Extremely helpful.

What was very helpful for me to understand my body type was to see myself side by side with my two sisters in photos. We each have a different body type. Similar coloration and height, but my face is smaller, and I'm generally softer than them. Comparing really helps a lot.

Aly! Can you do a video where you test us on determining another person's kibbe type (normal women/ celebs). Kinda like quiz first, answers and explanation at the end. It would help to understand if we've strained our eyes and if we understand the kibbe concepts. Thank you!!

Firstly, I LOVE your videos. I've recently discovered the Kibbe system and they help me so much when figuring out how to dress for my body type! While watching this video, I realised that there are two things that I have become repeatedly confused and frustrated with about finding clothes to flatter my body type. Principally, with figuring out my colour palette and how to 'break the soft gamine rules' properly in order to achieve more feminine/tailored silhouettes. In terms of Kibbe type, I'm Soft Gamine. I'm 5'1.5, have a naturally defined waist but still am very boyish in figure, with short hands, arms and legs, but with angularity in my jaw/cheekbones when thin. I have a rough idea of what fabrics, cuts and patterns suit me however whenever I'm browsing in a shop, I find that if a particular item of clothing comes in various colours, I never know which to choose! I've done so many quizzes and looked at celebrities who apparently share my colouring and I'm still not entirely sure. I've narrowed it down to either a Deep Winter or Deep Autumn. (For the latter, I heard the Jennifer Lopez was a DA, who is somewhat like me - similar hair colour, but completely different skin tone. For the former, I read that Catherine Zeta-Jones was also a DW - I had a little trouble with this because while her skin is more similar to mine than JL's, her hair is much darker (mine is dark brown, hers is jet black). Regarding more tailored silhouettes, it doesn't help that the celebrities I admire are generally Dramatics and are usually 5'6 or above. (Not that I admire them only because of their height, that would be hilariously peculiar, but when I've done the 'putting myself on the same level as them via photos on the computer' thing and have checked their height, this is the height that I get on average). Two examples of taller celebrities with styles I absolutely love are Michelle Dockery (who I believe is a Kibbe Dramatic?) and Raquel Cassidy (I think she may be Dramatic too? honestly, I'm not too sure). Michelle, in the world premiere for the movie of Downton Abbey, wore this gorgeous floor-length bodycon gold one-shoulder gown. For me, metallic coloured clothes have always been a source of stress. I'm drawn to sheer fabrics and strong golds. (Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film ever and I dreamt about wearing Belle's gold ball gown for so long! I was gutted when I realised that my body type would never suit a dress like that). That being said, whenever I try it on, the gold never seems to work with my skin tone, either washing me out or being too bold for me. I have a silver off-the-shoulder top with a similar fabric to what Michelle's dress is made of, but a lot softer and not monochrome (it has streaks of different shades of silver within it). I've tried the 'vein test' to try and figure out my colour palette several times, however I always fail to conclude the temperature of my skin because I can't quite work out the colour of my veins, but I can also wear both gold and silver jewellery without either type seeming to wash me out or make me look sallow. Raquel, for the 'BAFTA Celebrates Downton Abbey' event, wore this stunning floor-length dress with a slit in one of the legs and long, cape-like arms. I'd love to wear something like this, however being an SG, whenever I try to wear something long and flowing or too clingy, it doesn't work for me. I always hesitate with tailored things because I can never find the things that look right! Also, I've never been entirely sure about key-hole fronts/backs as they are a very feminine feature that can either look out of place or suit me depending on the key-hole in relation to the cut of the garment, its size etc. I tried reading up on how to 'tailor things to my body type', but nothing I've found has worked. A RU-vidr who specialises in petite fashion is Dearly Bethany. She, like me, is a similar height and also ages younger than she actually is. (I'm 19 and have been told that without make-up or a particularly 'flattering', ie waist-defining, stereotypically feminine silhouette, that I look 15-16). She says in one of her videos, that to look older, you should wear monochrome and wear long lines (which, admittedly I have tried with wearing higher waisted items of clothing and it does give me the illusion of an extra half an inch - I don't look any older because of it but am thankful for seeming a little taller). I was confused by that piece of advice when applying to myself because I thought: "I'm a Soft Gamine! I can't wear long lines or monochrome, I'll look horrible!" Apologies for a LOT of blabbing and long, winding paragraphs, but I think this just about sums up my problem. :)

Wow, yeah my hands are square like yours! I was typed from a professional image consultant from Russia and she told me I was a gamine-natural from Dwyn Larson’s type system. She told me that kibbe’s system has some flaws that one person isn’t just one type, but a hybrid of types. In kibbe’s system I am a soft gamine (not professionally verified). These systems in general are so interesting.

Off topic, but your hair looks amazing!

Can you go into more detail or show more comparisons of hands, feet, arms, leg bone structure for the different types? It something I've never really thought about before and it's kind of hard to figure out!

Great video!

Could you do a video about jeans for the body type. Great video! Love

I love your videos! Thanks!

Would love a video talking about TR vs SN :)

clicked so fast.. specially, with the olsen twins in the thumbnail + i'm really confused HAHA 😂 I think i'm a natural. Took so many tests already, and it always says, I am. Still confused lol. Anyways, I really like the olsen twins' style but to what I know they are soft gamines and won't look good in clothing of dramatic and long lines, but that's totally the opposite of how it's doing for them. They look good in almost everything they wear despite wearing pieces that are not recommended for them. Hope you can discuss about this as well.. about the effectivity of the recommendations, and if we really need to stick to it. anyways, great and informative video✨ thanks, aly art! ♥️

Hi Aly! Really like the video! Did you refer to an official lists of celebrity's and their kibbe bodytypes? If that exists I would love to have the link!

I checked out David Kibbe’s Metamorphosis book from the public library when it first came out (yes, I’m kinda old now, lol). I thought I was probably a soft gamine, but some features don’t quite fit (like my very thin lips, and I would say that overall my face looks more like a boy than a girl, let alone womanly). I’ve been watching this series and get more confused. I think I’m just not good at judging my own features. I am almost obsessed with figuring my type, and I just finally hit the subscribe button today, looking forward to seeing & hearing Aly clear up more of my confusion in upcoming videos, and going to go check out the Pinterest and other media. ❤️

I feel I am a soft classic. Because wearing soft classic clothing really compliments me. Plus my body is of a medium frame. My shoulders are slightly wider than my hips. And I have an average waist. My height is moderate. And I have soft rounded features. As in I feel my bones are blunt and my muscles aren't defined too much.

Hi, you're make up is awesome! and the video is as always informative and pleasant to watch 😊 suggestion: would you be interested to do a video about nails for body types? Thanx 💓

Maybe you could do some more commonly mistyped celebrities? Also do you think people can find their type easier looking at essence? Does that shine through?

My waist is 28 and hips are 36 which makes me a rectangular shape person but I generally looks better if I dress more like hourglass because I'm TR, and I know this because of you Aly, you made me so much confident about myself, thank you so much.... Lots of love ❤❤❤❤

I have found that taking the test isn't the be-all-end-all of Kibbe body types. After all, David Kibbe doesn't even assess with the quiz anymore. I find that what matters more is gaining an understanding of each of the body types and begin typing people you know or celebrities you see in the media and then check the result and see if you were right or at least close. The better you get at understanding yin/yang lines, width, vertical lines, and curve in Kibbe terms, the greater ability you'll have to categorize yourself. So, in order to find out what I was, I began with the quiz just like everybody else. There was an issue with this though; I didn't understand vertical line and how past a certain height one will automatically have a very long vertical line regardless of the size of their head (above 5'7"). Not understanding this lead me to mistyping myself according to the quiz as a dramatic classic. I knew that wasn't right because (although Kibbe doesn't use faces as a defining factor) my face was most definitely not classic at all. So much so that I saw it in my body too. My shoulders are broad and prominent, and my hips are wide and square. I have a very similar body to Gigi Hadid, but my results had a lot more C initially because I didn't actually understand what "moderate" vs "broad and blunt" meant. Moral of the story, understand the yin/yang system first and foremost before even trying to take the quiz. Understand what counts as A answers, B answers, C answers, D answers, and E answers, look at verified celebrities of all weights, ethnicities, color seasons, and ages. See the possible variety of each type and see which you share the most common threads with yourself and the types. Retake the quiz after you've really gained an understanding. Being 5'8" I now understand there are also ways to narrow down your possible options. So, for anyone needing help with that, if you are over 5'7" you are automatically either a Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or a Flamboyant Natural as according to David Kibbe himself. That was the answer for me, that clarified everything and now I understand why I am a flamboyant natural. Hope this helps.

Would you please do a Phoebe Tonkin makeup? I follow you very fondly. Greetings from Turkey ♥️

Thank you for all you do! You are amazing. Do you do consultations?

YOUR HANDS ARE SO ADORABLE OMG

I finally figured out my type after almost a year. I went from soft dramatic to romantic to TR to romantic then finally to soft natural. I realized I wasn't very rounded esp in the face. I was playing with the reface app and noticed I strongly resembled Britney spears and fergi who are both soft naturals (from what I've researched).

Omg thank you alot for this video!

I had initially watched so many videos containing erroneous information, I doubt I will EVER understand Kibbe. I will keep watching your videos, in hopes that I’ll have some kind of epiphany. Right now I am so confused and frustrated.

You’re the only one I trust about kibbe body types, other than kibbe himself of course. You have a great eye for this. One of the major youtubers in this area seems to not be able to look at herself very objectively and I believe she has typed herself incorrectly. Her clothes and particularly her hair have often not been the most flattering. If she saw it on someone else, she’d know it was a bit “off” I think. Anyway, you always make a lot of sense and I trust your observations.

This is a great video about how to distinguish style and body type! One question: if a person likes a different style from what her body type is, what do you think is the best way to make that style look more fit/suitable to her body type? For instance,let's say we have a romantic type who likes a dramatic style or a gamine who wants to be in natural etc. Can we find an "under-style" or something that's represents a style+type balance?

Can you make a video on olive undertones

I think femininity is not about gestures only... it's about your essence, too. Just like these body types you teach about, but the non-physical stuff. I'm a soft dramatic, and I have my fair share of masculinity in me, in my gestures and essence. I don't think it makes me masculine... as long as my femininity matches my masculinity, my masculinity only highlights my femininity. I think you're veery feminine, Aly. Especially your voice. I love your soft voice.

Can you make a video about what types of wedding dresses would look good on what body types

Aly could you please do a vid about essence either generally or for every body type ( if its not asking too much ) 🙏❤❤

I've never seen the Olsen twins in clothes that looked good on them. Often too big on them- clothes overwhelm them.
