David Kibbe's style categories

Dramatic

Physically, you have sharp angles and chiseled features.
To express your extreme Yang essence we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as Regal Lady.

A Dramatic will not:
*Have an hourglass figure
*Have lush, full facial features (round eyes, fleshy cheeks, full lips)
*Have a broad or blunt bone structure or facial bones
*Be petite or extremely small in stature
*Be perfectly symmetrical
*Have short or fleshy arms and legs

Moderate to tall, 5 feet 5 inches and over

Dramatic Bone Structure
Yang (sharp)
Angular, with sharp edges.
Usually have square shoulders (may be narrow)
Hands and feet are usually long and narrow.
Facial bones are sharp or prominent (nose, jawline, cheekbones).
Sometimes the bone structure is called "delicate" because of its narrowness. This is actually not true, for the extreme length keeps it from being truly delicate. A more helpful description would be "sleek."

Dramatic body type (flesh)
Yang
Straight and angular, may tend to long or sleek musculature (sinewy or lithe).
Usually have long legs and arms.
Narrow in width.

Dramatic facial features
yang, sharp, dramatic
Straight, sleek lines.
Sloe or almond eyes; narrow, thin or straight lips; taut skin, especially around the cheek and jaw areas.

Soft Dramatic

Physically, your bone structure is large and angular, but is softened by a fleshy body type and full facial features, particularly evident in your large eyes and full lips.
To express your bold Yang/extra Yin total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could be described as Diva Chic.

A Soft Dramatic will not:
*Have a boyish figure
*Have small hands and feet, or a delicate bone structure
*Be overly petite, or small in stature, with short limbs
*Have delicate or small facial features
*Be symmetrical in body type or facial characteristics

Moderate to tall, 5 feet 5 inches and over

Soft Dramatic Bone Structure
Yang (sharp)
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. This is not true, for the extreme length offsets the narrowness.

Soft Dramatic body type (flesh)
Yin
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.

Soft Dramatic facial features
yin
Full, lush, sensual, and exotic.
Large eyes, full lips, fleshy cheeks.

Romantic

Physically, your bone structure and your features are delicate and your body has lushly curves.

Yin

Rounded or sloped shoulders.
Small hand and feet (may be slightly wide).
Facial bones are small, delicate and may be slightly wide or lush (nose, cheekbones, jawline).
If your bone structure is slightly wide or lush, you may think of yourself as having a large bone structure.

In context of your overall voluptuous figure, your bone structure is definitely delicate.
