Sustainable Fashion On A Budget
· Kibbe, Tips & Tricks · 66
Dramatic Classics are mainly Classics, balanced YIN and YANG, with YANG bone structure. They have an angular frame with classic body flesh and facial features. They can also have a balanced/ moderate body structure with YANG flesh or facial features. On women, the body can have an hourglass silhouette and in men it looks like an inverted triangle.
When gaining weight, they collect it in their hips and tights, rarely on the bust line. When gaining weight it can be very obvious. Their body shape transforms into a “pear shape” the more weight they gain. Men loose definition on their shoulders gaining weight on their abdominal area and looking more “squarish.”
