- You know I feel strongly that everyone should wear what they FEEL best in and that your style should be a source of confidence and strength. But I also think learning the basics of your style - like your body's proportions- will help you learn how to dress better.
Your style is a journey, and I think proportionate dressing can help đ„°

Thank you! The mid rise vs high rise has been a battle for me. I'm short so people are like "where high rise. Makes you look taller" instead I look really weird but mid rise always looked good on me and now I know why. I have a short torso so mid rise look like high rise anyway
Same for me!!
You put so much work into this video and it's so well made! Thank you for such a great stockpile of information and examples. So helpful!
I'm so glad it was helpful, and that you liked it! It really means a lot to međ„°
Could not agreee more with Alexis.
Gabrielle, hope you will post more often :)
As a man I actually got a lot of valuable information from this. I've never seen a style video give me something I can do myself to see how proportioned I am, it's always generic descriptions of what they are but its difficult to judge yourself based on that. So thank you very much, it was very helpful!
Light bulb moment!! Applying the proportions analysis was a revelation! I now know I have a long head, short waisted, rise in proportion, and short legs . đ€Ł I wish I had known this sooner, thank you it really helps me understand why some clothing doesn't suit me and how I can maximise and minimise my proportions. So glad I found your channel. Thank you
Mid rise = high rise is such a short person mood tbh
Wow! This video was jam-packed with information - I'm going to have to watch it a few times.
Yay, that is such a nice compliment! Thank you!!
Yesss ugh thank you!!! It irks me completely how the Kibbe system completely ignores that a person can be tall but appear shorter due to more fleshy limbs but to me that seems to be the most obvious ways of starting to actually ID yourself by body type⊠Even though I am tall I believe I am a soft gamine because Iâm pear shaped and fleshy despite being tall and skinny.
Nope. Your a tall type with fleshy arms. Thatâs it. Youâre probably a SD.
Haha, now itâs official, I really am like a dachshund. đ
I always thought my torso is too long, but actually itâs almost perfectly proportionate, but my legsâŠwaay too short đ
Thank you for the educational videos, they really help a lot. âșïž
đđđ
OH no...
I just discovered that I am short legged too. I was surprised since I though I had a short torso but it turns out it is in proportion.
Your content is so original and informative, and I love the way you organize your videos and insert fun little clips. Thank you for what you do and I am excited for more content!
Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot! And I'm so glad you are getting good info out it!
Aha!!! Short torso AND short legs. I am missing a whole head worth of length, proportionately, even with a long rise! Even though I have kibbe width (shoulders measure 5% wider than hips) maybe I look more like a classic because I have no vertical line? Iâm thinking to try adding chunky shoes to see if it makes a better line. That got me wonderingâŠif my body is too short for my head, then my head must look proportionally largeâŠand does that give me any gamine quality even though Iâm 5â7â? It seems like gamines have relatively large heads.
Reading through the comments, a lot of us are reporting the same thing: 7 heads high, short waist, long rise, short legs. Help Gabrielle, what do we need to do?
I've been struggling with kibbe so much and this might actually be the most helpful video since I realised contrast has more impact on me than following lines.
I'm supposed to be some sort of classic because nothing really stands out in my body but I'm way too wide( in bones, all over) to feel balanced with my height. And here, I see that my legs should be something like 2cm longer (so not that much) but that the real unbalance is between my waist and rise. Between my chin and my breast line is one head but between my breast and my waist is much shorter and my rise is much longer.
So I'm balanced but unbalanced in the mean time. ^^
Yes, while this video is not kibbe-centric, I do think understanding the balance of your unique proportions can help you understand your clothes so much better. Do you feel like you have kibbe width or just a a straighter and/or wider torso? Juxtaposition or elongation in the limbs can also be a gamine trait!
I agree that I tend to find these types of videos much more helpful than kibbe ones.
Kibbe is useful to understand lines and how clothes fall on the body but it is not clear and can feel limiting.
Here it's just understanding proportions and how to play with them. :)
Thank you so much! This is the first fashion/clothing video I've seen with technical information backing up the concepts. Though I am a man and the examples of clothing don't really apply to me, I'm sure the fundamentals do. Seriously, I've watched other videos on these concepts, and they are all explained vaguely extremely vaguely. Usually throwing up pictures of influencer fits, without explaining the technique going on behind the decisions. Maybe its because mens fashion is "developing"? Regardless, thank you.
As I binge watch your videos daily, Iâm seeing your channel subscribers grow so quickly right before my eyes! Iâm so happy for you. Your videos are absolute GEMS. Iâm so glad I stumbled across your channel recently. I am learning so so so much and Iâm more confident in my journey to finding my style and learning about my body and what fits me! Thank you soooooo much for your detailed and well thought out videos. Youâre amazing. You deserve so much greatness!
This is such a kind and thoughtful comment and you have no idea how much it means to me! I'm so glad the videos have helped you, and if you ever want a specific topic covered, let me knowđ„° thank you!!
In doing this exercise, I think I finally pinpointed what I've always felt to be disproportionate about me but couldn't put my finger on. I'm short waisted...and short-legged (visually, measurably, and now using this "head" system, in every possible way lol) but something always looked "off" to me and now I know - I have a long(ish) RISE. (and a huge butt because of it lol) this throws everything off and now I know why i look "different'. thanks for helping me figure that out!
Iâm so glad it helped!
same. that's what I just found out too.
Same. I was like how can I be short waisted and short legged. How annoyed.
Hey same here! What worked for you?
â@@catetanenbaum2418did you find techniques that worked for you?
Great video and tips! This exercise confirms what I already suspected - I have a big head đ Iâm 5â8 (or 7 heads) and always felt like I look short in photos which has confused me a lot since I started looking into personal style.
When I crop out my head in the photo I took for this my body looks tall though - if my head would have been 1/8 of me the rest would be proportionate, brb going to try and figure out how to make my head appear shorter haha
Damn girl, done it again. Now I know how I'm gonna spend my Sundayđ
ah, yay! I'm so glad you like it!
My god, it was so helpful... I'm that lucky person with "perfect proportions", but I've never known how to achieve certain effect I was looking for, so a huge thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I was struggling with my Kibbie ID I thought I was closest to Dramatic Classic, after watching this video I figured out that I have a shorter vertical line than I look to have and that my arms and legs are slightly shorter than they look. I could instantly see that I am a very typical Theatrical Romantic. I could suddenly relate all my features and body shape and answer the Kibbie test correctly. Thank you for making this clear đđ
I'm glad this helped! This is not specifically a kibbe video but I do think proportions can help you clarify an ID if your yin/yang balance still works.đ„°
Before getting an item, how it fits in a full outfit helps me to avoid stuff I may never wear. Can confirm my fave outfits play into these rules now that I'm learning about them.
The little subtle jab at Kim K in the beginning is chefs kiss
đ€đœđ
This was soo good. Now I know why I look odd in a crop t shirt with pants, the ratio is off and my waist is shorter that proportional.
There is a special kind of pleasant feeling when you discover that you're intuitively doing things quite right already (even if there's room for improvement).
The recovering tomboy hiding herself being unflattering clothes has come a long way :)
Thank you for this video. đI know I'm going the right direction and I have some combinations to test when I can find time for it.
I would love it if you could someday make a follow up video, in the same style but about vertical proportions and how to balance them out and play with them.
Honestly, I find these types of videos much easier than kibbe ones when it comes to body proportions. It's easier to understand and it accommodates everyone's individual specificity a lot more (IMHO). So again thank you âš
I follow my heart when choosing something even if the stuffs I choose are not trendy and are very outdated. Its mind-blowing because even if my body features are quite an anomaly I was actually doing the right thing based on her advice. Not perfectly ofc but I am already drawn to whatever she's suggesting. đ
God damn finally a video about someone talking some sense about proportions!
Such an excellent series! Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoy it!
the look with the green jacket and black dress is sooo cute omg đ
I want it!
So helpful!!!! Can't wait to try this exercise!
Yay! I'm so glad! Let me know if you have any questions when you do it
Gaby, this was the simple most useful collection of all things proportions, thank you so much!! I realized by taking outfit videos that one of the reasons why I struggle with my proportions is because my chest is big relative to my body, and it just needs more space vertically... so it's not super easy for me to create thirds. Anyway, it's really really useful, now I understand why I like dresses much better than separates!
This video was so informative and helpful! Having a hands on exercise to really see my proportions instead of just staring at photos of myself was great.
yes great information that will take some to digest, but so worth it. Interestingly, my head is 8" long and my height is (you guessed it!) 64". While I haven' t broken down the sections to see if one area might be more or less than the 8", it made me think about using actual measurements to achieve the proportional balance. for instance : it is 16" to my waist (say for a tuck-in top), then a skirt that is 24" long (that starts at my waist) should achieve a 2: 3 ratio. (so if you like to sew or need to hem a skirt or dress, you have a great starting point for length). thanks again for sharing this - well done and such a help to make our clothes look the best on our bodies!
With the real examples you use (especially moving around and not just still photos) this stuff finally makes some sense to me. I've read some theories before but could never visualize what's going on. Watching this video, I had so many "oh you dummy!" moments!
Iâm so glad it helped!
this channel is criminally under-subscribed, keep it up your vids are great!!
Thank you so much!
Wow, this one is dense. One of those I'll have to play with for sure. I can wrap my head around the principle but being objective when putting an outfit together is another thing entirely. Great video, as always, probably gonna rewatch this one a few times!
So I'm all short (7 heads), short waisted, short legged, and have long rise.
My everything is a bit higher up than the ideal, and it stacks. Second head hits above the mid bust, so I had to measure again separately for the legs because the third head hits above my hips and the fourth is already in my thighs đ
I don't know why I wasn't notified? I am subscribed. . My Facebook friend told me about this video. I can't wait to watch it.
I hope you like it! If you didnât get a notification maybe try taping the bell - I think that might select all notifications
Finally, I understand my proportions! Thank you, your videos are the absolute best - informative & entertaining. *Chefs kiss*
Iâm revisiting all these things because as you age things change. I have seen many people who dress like they are 25 but they are 50. It reads as inauthentic or inappropriate. Iâm 5â2â tall (almost lol) and I want to approach my half century with knowledge of who I am and what I want the initial perception of me to be. Your art class is helping take me back to the beginning and play with clothes instead of it being a hassle. This is the art of practical magic.
OMG! You have opened a completely new world to međ đ đ Thank you! This video is so useful and complete â€â€
I'm so glad!
â€Wow!! Went to your website! So much great info!! It is fabulous†You rockđ Recommend!!!! Another note on your influence: I have noticed a difference! I take a bit more time to get things right before i leave the house! I think, âThis needs something simpler or more balance.â You really teach us to figure out our lookđ Thank you for all you do!! â€
So I'm:
Head to Torso: Less than 8 heads (head is long)
Upper Torso: Less than 2 heads (short waisted)
Rise: 1 head (in proportion, just a touch longer than 1)
Legs: Nearly 3 heads (short-legged)
I have no idea what to do with this information but I feel like it's a good start?! Will have to rewatch the video. I am going to assume mid-rise trousers are a good bet. I think my problem with the golden ratio is that I have a very big bust, so unless I minimise it (usually black top, focus the colour or pattern on trousers), it throws off the whole look if the colour/focal point is there.
Edit: Also I think this makes more sense of my Kibbe journey so far, where I thought I was SN but am probably a hardcore R (short vertical line is very clear now), but I have Dramatic/Classic/Romantic Kitchener essence, which becomes clearer to me when I see the length of my head in comparison to my body
I kinda wish there was also a portion in this video about having a long head. đ I am soft natural but have had some problems with typical SN neckline recommendations like deep vâs. Boat necks and even turtlenecks however look good on me, at least in my opinion. If Iâm wearing a v-neck in anything that also has sleeves, I need to wear a shorter necklace to kinda cut my head part up! Anyway thanks for this video, it really helped me in figuring out why it is so! â€
I have an article on face shapes that might help!
This was very eye-opening. I had no idea:
Long-headed
Short-waisted
Long rise
Shorter legs
I always thought my legs were pretty long, but itâs my rise (which I already work to visually shorten). Otherwise Iâm lost as to where to begin. I like high-waisted jeans to hold in my muffin top, but wear lots of cropped jackets.
Iâll bet some hairstyles could help visually balance my long head???
Yes I have a face shape article on my website that can suggest some ideas

@@Gabriellearrudadesign Hey
I got a question
I have many proportions of rectangle body type
My shoulder, hips and bust are pretty of same width
But i neither have lean look nor have small butt and bust
So
Can you help me in clarifying my body shape??
Pleaseeeeeeeeeee
Thanks for this cool video! Turns out I am short waisted with a longer rise and short legs (just 3 heads).
When you explained to lengthen the waist line and recommended mid to low rise pants etc I got confused because I know for a fact that doesn't look good on me.But then the golden ratio rule brought it back together again because when I calculated the 1:2 ratio for my body, it hit exactly at my waistline!
Iâm glad it helped!! đ
The effort you put into your videos is incredible. So freaking good
Thank you!
Omg this video actually changed my life. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!!
Gosh this video is fantastic. I need to start shopping my closet and shooting outfits trying out these tips asap!
Iâm so happy you like it! If you have any questions or hurdles donât hesitate to reach out đ„°
I'm only 7 heads, so everything in me is short except the rise. It's funny, but even with a longer head people see me and think I'm taller than I really am, but in some way there is a "cute vibe", I guess it's because of my wider bones (natural kibbe). I think I look amazing in jumpsuits and mid loose skirts, like the floral one you were on the video, probably because it blurs where my waist ends and my legs start. I never thought about this topic, but it's so interesting, thanks for the video đ€đ
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was insightful for your style
Love your videos! Please keep them coming.
Thank you!!
Great analysis!!! Very informative!! Canât wait to see more of your videos!!!
This was so informative and helpful. Thank you!
Halfway through the video and its already changed my life. I have short legs and have been making them look SHORTER all these years :(
I also realized crop tops are basically bralettes on me because I have a long waist. I finally know why I've been struggling!
Yay!! So glad to see this in my feed đ. Thanks so much for making this, itâs what I asked you to make! đâșïž
Yay! I hope you like it. And Iâm always open to more suggestions đ
@@Gabriellearrudadesign I loved it. I learned sooo much. Iâve always known Iâm on the short waisted side. But as to my rise, Iâm not so sure. What is considered a short rised and long rised person? Does having a short rise automatically mean youâre short waisted, and vice versa? Could this be explained in another video? Also, Iâve been thinking about belts. I quite certain Iâm a SN. As Iâm also on the bigger chested side, according to the Kibbe system, I should use loose waist emphasis. Looking at pictures of myself, I can see this would be true, because I look twice my size (Iâve never used belts of any kind because I want to de emphasize my boobs). Could you make a video about how to use belts? Iâm lost đ©
So a short rise would be less than "1" of your heads when you do the exercise. It is possible to be short-waisted and have a shorter rise, but they are just more rare. And they often tend to have a petite look to them because their upper half is small (they are not necessarily short in height, but they appear shorter). So if you are a soft natural and you want loose waist emphasis I wouldn't necessarily suggest going all in on belts. If you're trying to accomplish that diagonal shape I was talking in the video I would look for clothes or seaming that do it for you. Wrap dresses that have those diagonal lines to draw our eye across, or a seamed gentle yoke around your waist that lightly shows it off without squeezing it. You could also try softer fabric belts (even built into the garment) that loosely tie around your waist. And if you do opt for a traditional belt I wouldn't make it a contrasting color- I would go more in line with your outfit's color palette. You want to show off your curve but not strangle your "kibbe width". This type of waist emphasis will also help you de-emphasize your boobs a bit as it won't create a focal line break around your waist.
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Omg, I only just noticed your reply, a month later (đ). All your suggestions make perfect sense, never thought about them, especially trying softer fabric belts instead of regular stiff belts. I think Iâll try them in a narrow width, on account of my short waisted-ness. Now, all I need is a breast reduction đ
Woah I thought I knew everything about proportions by now given the amount of style content I've consumed.. clearly not đł Thank you!!
Ok getting those measurements was hilarious. Turns out I just have freakishly long lower legs. Everything matches my head, 7.5", except my 2 lower leg measurements which are 9".
(I'm a soft natural, i think, i'm 5'6"-7")
*height:* 7 1/4 heads to my soles, **short proportions**
*Waist:* (1 1/2), **short waisted**
*Rise:* (1)
*Legs:* (3 1/2) **short-ish legs**
People tell me i look tall, or that i have long arms and legs so its funny that i dont proportionally.
I LOVE that top on you!!! (the sleeveless high neck one that the video starts with).
Oh wow, thank you for giving me the language to understand and talk about this. So it turns out I tend dress in way that would âcut me in halfâ, but because I am longer on the bottom it naturally has a 1:2 ratio
Your content and website are incredibly helpful!
Thank you! Iâm so glad!
YES! FIT VIDEO PLEASE!! đ
Iâm in love with this channel đ
đđ
I wish your graphics would stay on the screen a little longer. They flash on and off almost like subliminal messaging lol.
I will try to fix that moving forward, thanks for the feedback!
Hai Gabrielle, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and all the effort you put into them to actually show the theory in practise. I think Ive already made so much better outfits just this week because of your videos on style essences.
But I want to remark that I dont think the 8 heads theory makes any sense. Ive been measuring pictures of very vertical celebrities and their legs are still too short to make up 4 heads. (Head = 100%; % upper body (without head); % lower body) Keira Knightley: 107%; 78%. Claudia Schiffer: 103%; 95%. Tilda Swinton: 94%; 82%. (If anyones legs would measure 4 heads they would have 100% on the second score). So to say 4 heads is in proportions (= average?) makes no sense to me. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Now I will continue to binge your videos. Please keep them coming. :D Love for the Netherlands. Groetjes, Eline
This is putting so much into perspective for me it's insane. I'm tall and despite my head being in proportion i have a shortish waist, long rise and short legs đ for someone with these proportions how would a jean short work? Ive been wearing high waisted 'festival' shorts but wonder if i should be going for a lower rise?
I looove your videos Gabrielle
Thank you so much Marta đ„°đ„°đ„°
Finally a video that explain this concept so well
đ„° Ty!
This video has been so incredibly informative! Thank you so much! Quick question for you, does long torso fall into shortening the waist? Or did I miss that section completely? Admittedly I have been jumping back and forth haha
Question- I have a lot of dresses that are solid color and long, and donât often split up the length visually with a crop jacket or something else; occasionally Iâll use a belt but most of them are already fitted at the waist.
A lot of the examples here show how to pair things together but what does that mean for the impact of a solid colored piece? You kind of touched on this in the denim example but Iâm super curious for other examples or if anyone here in the comments has any insight thatâd be greatly appreciated!
What a great video! How could I translate this new knowledge about my proportions to Kibbe vertical? In my case, I'm a bit short-waisted but also a bit long-legged but in a way that the length of my legs balances the shortness of my waist perfectly so I end up being exactly 8 heads tall. Would that be a moderate vertical?
This proportion with the head only works for an average size person. Many shorter people have heads of similar-same size as someone much taller so their proportions will never be in the same sync as this taller person. (If you use the head as the guideline)
Yes- you use your own head size. So shorter ppl will typically have less heads overall
Incredibly informative video. Thank you!
Youâre the best.
aw, thank you!
My legs are short and everything else is normal (making it look longer!) WHAT A GAMINE! AMIRITE?
hahah, yes, totally!
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Me too. All proportional through crotch. Legs I'm missing more than one head! I was typed as a classic by someone. Is that possible? This was super helpful in me understanding why I push up sleeves to look good and why ankle length looks better.
if you have short everything??? lol
I love this so much! Thank you!
âIs it 8 heads from top of head to heel or from top of head to toes (photo taken at chest height). Your videos have been so incredibly helpful. You put so much effort into making quality content and it really shows! Thank you đ
So if I am about 6.5 heads tall, but have 3 head long legs, wouldn't that be a bit closer to proportionate? (Maybe just slightly short) Four heads goes all the way up to my underbust.
what if I have a short upper torso, short torso, short rise, short legs and a big head ? haha
Then keep your clothing proportions in mind to match. Look for shorter hems and cropped pieces (which might not be cropped on you) so the fabric doesnât overwhelm you
What if you have shorter arms, but also shorter legs? I donât want to shorten my arms even more with my sleeves and stuff like you suggested. I also want to lengthen my legs. And at the same time, I have a shorter waist and a long riseđ đ đ
With latest fashion its boxy ,bodycon or marie kate and Ashley 2000s
*pauses video to print me In a jumpsuit*
yes!
I can't remember all this lol. I need a print out.
Itâs a lot, and itâs best to take it one exercise at a time. Is there something specific I can clarify?
@@Gabriellearrudadesign no not really. I am just having trouble understanding. I watched the Dress your body type and wow what a huge difference that makes in appearance... BTW you look great and elongated in the wide leg and trouser pants. I am going to try them.
@@FaithinHim thatâs a good place to start- Iâm glad that video helped. Maybe start playing with implementing that info and taking pics of your outfits. You might start to see where your style naturally gravitates to in terms of proportions. And from there you may start to see where youâre body might be longer or shorter. Iâll try to think of ways to further clarify this- but there will be more videos along the lines of styling clothes too! So for now, take the info thatâs making sense and ditch or revisit the rest later
Ok, so I made the proportions thing and Iâm shooked. Iâve always though I had long legs, but actually it seems like I have SHORT legs?? đ€Ż
Like⊠my legs have 3 heads in length.
I have short waist, regular rise and short legs. Also, my head is hella big lol even being 175cm (5ft8) in height, my body is only 6,5 heads.
My combination of attributes is short torso, short legs and big head đ
I thought I had a long vertical line, but I think Iâm just⊠tall? đ€·đ»ââïž Or maybe my long arms are giving me the long vertical âvibeâ. Because theyâre hella long, almost as long as my legs, like⊠2,8 heads.
That's so interesting! I'm curious do you know your kibbe type as well? Might you be in the dramatic family?
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Dramatic seems the most likely Kibbe type for me, yes! (Iâve also wondered if Iâm SD or FN, but ultimately I think adapted D looks [simple and structured] with waist emphasis fit better).
I only ask because I see a lot of D family (dramatics and soft dramatics) have similar proportions, they have visually long legs because of their height but their legs/torso have the real elongation. ( I think Keira Knightly has this too, as an unverified D).
What if I have long rise but short waist and legs? I feel like the recommendations contradict each other, especially since I am a TR. On one hand I should emphasize my waist and on the other blur it. I don't really get it đ
Skirts are probably one of your best bets for that.
Question: how can a low or mid rise hit above your natural waist if you have a short waist and a long rise? That seems not possible. Not that I don't like mid rises, I love them, especially if they hit me just below my belly button (which is a higher midrise in my case usually, since most mid rises look low rise on me), but a mid rise could never ever ever hit me just below my ribcage (since this is where my natural waist is), I'd need a ribcage rise for that (which isnt comfortable to breathe at all, so not doing that haha)
Are you referring to the "short-waisted" section where I recommend a lower/mid rise pant? So that's only focusing on having a short waist, not a short waist and a long rise. Because it is possible to have a short waist and a short rise. If you have a short waist and a long rise then you want to optically lengthen your waist by going for a lower rise pant.. So a mid rise (under your belly button) would work or a low rise pant would work because its giving more visual space to upper half and your extending your upper torso area visually. If you have a long rise and short waist you most likely won't find pants that naturally hit above your waist unless you go for those super high rises (like ribcage). You could also try measuring your rise on your body and looking up the rise dimensions on the pants (they are usually listed in the fit area). Rises are usually between 7 inches and 12 inches, so you'd be looking for something in the 10 in plus if you don't want to extend your waist and just want to further emphasize your longer rise. But measuring your own rise and where you want it to be will be the most accurate. Does this make sense and/or answer your question?
@@Gabriellearrudadesign yes thanks! Im wondering if its possible to have pants with a low or mid rise that is above ones natural waist even with a short rise tho. Itd have to be reaaaaly short đŹ
@@Allesea159 so a person whose body has a short rise- who wears low/mid rise pants- can those pants be above their natural waist? Theoretically, yes. âLowâ And âmidâ rises in pants changes from brand to brand to what itâs defined as. So if a petit person with a long waist/short rise bought mid rise pants- they could hit above that persons natural waist.
@@Gabriellearrudadesign fair, Id love to see that happen on somebody haha
@@Gabriellearrudadesign p.s. its really refreshing to finally see someone address more than just torso and legs in proportions, so thanks for that :)
im short all over apparently, with a big ah head đ
I don't understand the point you made at 13:41 about the skirt being head above the knee affecting the jacket length - please could you help me with this? Also, is 3:5 also a golden ration? Thanks
yes fit video pls.
So with short torso and short legs should I just go monochrome all the time for maximum elongation?
Help! Iâm having a moment. Iâm only 7 heads high! Iâm missing a whole head! ??????? Yet Iâm tall - 6 feet tall. From my picture, I think Iâm short waisted, long rise, and I have 4 head lengths from the top of my head to my crotch/leg break. But from the crotch down is only 3 head lengths. My legs arenât short - as in I need to buy tall (letâs say 34 inch for full length) pants. Did I do something wrong in the exercise? Iâm struggling hitting the right proportions with clothing, but now Iâm not sure I belong on this planet!
So that long rise could be throwing off your interpretation a bit. It's possible to be 7 heads high, especially if you are tall and have a longer head (potentially ethereal essence if you are into style essences). I think you should experiment with the golden ratio and maybe take photos and see if you're hitting those proportions or if your longer rise/shorter waist is throwing off your outfits balance at times
@@Gabriellearrudadesign I will try to figure that out. I actually have seen Mr. Kitchener and am 45% classic, 30% dramatic, 15%, romantic and 10% natural.
For some reason Iâm not really understanding the 3:5 ratio? Can someone spell it out for me? đŹ
I really love your content, itâs very concise, so there is a lot to learn in your videos! I canât wait to see more of you! Also you have fantastic style!!!!
3:41 why does it feel like I am be tried in court and guilty đ
Ok so if my legs& rise are in proportion (4heads, 1head respectively) but waist to chin less than 2heads (a bit more than 1 1/1) what does that mean? Does that still pass as evenly proportional? Or âslightly shirt torsoâ with ânormal lenght legsâ? Does a short torso automatically mean long legs? Iâm also not 8 legs long, only 7 and 1/2 (but 173cm aka 5ft8inch) tall⊠đ€ does that make me âshort limbs and even shorter torsoâ? đ
I am going to watch how to dress your body type.
I have a question and I donât know if you already answered this but what if your head is big so your overall body is less than 8 heads and the rest is short by definition because your head is bigger to every other part of body. Should we calculate with something else or everything has to compare to the head. I really donât if this is clear.
What if I have short waist and Short leg. What do I do
What does it mean if I have three heads?
Why do I only get 6 heads when I do this? đ is the Camera angle wrong? Because I am a FN
Most likely camera angle/height. But you could also have a longer head too
So if my head is larger than my height, does that translate to a short vertical line? I'm only 6.25 heads long, so one would expect me to be taller, given the size of my head?
This doesnât necessarily translate to kibbe since kibbe has height rules - kind of depends on how tall you are
@@Gabriellearrudadesign thanks! I'm only 5'3" soooo definitely short lol
@@nataliefbehler I would say at that height with shorter proportions you could safely say you have a shorter vertical line or rather you donât need to accommodate vertical
Im 5'6" and 9 heads tallđïžđđïžđ§ââïž help
