I can see this is a draft article about Kibbe body types (Soft Dramatic vs Flamboyant Natural). What would you like me to do with it? Fair warning. For example:
- Edit or improve the writing
- Fix formatting or structure
- Add/remove sections
- Convert it to a different format
- Something else
Let me know what task you need help with.
Editor’s Note
Eight years in, the question I get most isn’t “am I SD or FN?” — it’s “why do I keep testing as both?” And honestly, that tension makes sense, because these are the two types most likely to be misread by the vertical-vs-curve framework people lean on as a shortcut. Here’s what rarely gets said: a significant number of women who land on Flamboyant Natural after years of certainty about Soft Dramatic aren’t discovering a new answer — they’re discovering that their previous stylists were dressing their height and ignoring their bone structure entirely. The line between these two isn’t always where you think it lives. So I’m curious — when you picture yourself in the “wrong” type’s recommendations, what specifically feels off?
I’ve been going back and forth on this for literally months — my stylist in Minneapolis keeps saying I have “strong bone structure but soft flesh” and I never knew what to do with that. Reading this finally made something click. I think the key for me is paying attention to whether my features feel angular or blunt, not just big vs. small. Going to bring that distinction to my next thrift run this weekend. Also curious — can someone be right on the border and dress for both, or does that just create a mess?
