The Kibbe Body Type System is a body type system created by David Kibbe that focuses on 5 categories that are a balance between yin and yang features (soft and sharp). The 5 categories are: Dramatic, Natural, Classic, Gamine, and Romantic.
What is the difference between the Kibbe System and the traditional body shape system (hourglass, rectangle, pear, inverted triangle, and apple shape)?
The Kibbe System is all about finding what makes your body look good, instead of trying to achieve an “ideal” silhouette.
If you want to find your Kibbe, you’re in the rigth place as you won’t find a more accurate quiz than this one.
How to achieve successful results with our quiz:
*It’s important that you follow the instructions*
- Take a full body picture. Make sure you take it from your chest level to make it more accurate.
- You can work with your picture, but for better results, we recommend you either print it and copy the contour of your body on a blank page or digitally trace it. The thinner the pen, the better!
This way you’ll be able to compare your shape with the illustrations in a more accurate way.
Why with illustrations instead of pictures?
You might think this makes it tricky, but in reality, it will be more real as you won’t get confused by the shadows and other body variations.
It should look something like this:
A quick tip for even better results:
Every body shape is beautiful and there is not an ideal. So, be honest with the way you look and make sure your answers are honest and based on how you look, not how you would like to look.
