Physical Features of a Theatrical Romantic
Petite, delicate frame with pronounced hourglass curves. Narrow sloped shoulders, defined waist, shapely hips. Soft facial features with slight sharpness—round jawline, small nose, rounded cheeks, but defined cheekbones or eyes.
Note: Modern Kibbe emphasizes overall line, silhouette, and how fabric drapes on the body rather than checking off individual features. These physical descriptions serve as general guides to understand each type's accommodation needs (vertical, width, curve, petite), not as strict checklists. Your Kibbe type is about what your body needs in clothing, not matching every listed trait.
