Romantic
Before getting into the details, it's worth noting that David Kibbe (the creator of the 13 Kibbe types) has repeatedly said that a clothing type doesn't belong to a specific type. Rather, it's how you integrate it into an outfit that makes it appropriate. The aim is not to tell you how you should dress, it's simply a guide, a starting point when you're feeling a little lost. From there, you can fine-tune your clothing style. It's also important to point out that Yang (sharp, angular, straight, long) is often described as "masculine" and Yin (rounded, soft, curved, short) as "feminine". This is totally incorrect and only serves to further skew our view of different morphologies. They're just two different femininities.
I've taken the liberty of modernising and softening some of the recommendations, so I suggest you refer to his book Metamorphosis, if you want more authentic information.
A slight deviation is always possible and shouldn't be a cause for concern as long as it doesn't upset the overall balance. If this is a new subject for you, I suggest you read the Glossary of Morphologies before starting.
The Romantic woman is the most Yin type (100% Romantic).
The facial features are small, rounded and may be slightly broad, such as the nose, cheekbones and jaw. The eyes are moderate to large. The lips are moderate to full. The cheeks tend to be fleshy.
The Romantic woman is generally average height (up to 5.5ft / 1m67) to small. The vertical line is short (distance from shoulder line to knees). The Romantic woman tend to looks smaller than she really is.
The silhouette is hourglass-shaped, with curves at the bust and hips. The shoulders are rounded and sloping. The arms and legs are small and fleshy. They tend to be short in relation to the height. The hands and feet are small and may be slightly narrow.
When overweight, the body and face become rounder.
The Romantic woman doesn't look tall. She doesn't have a straight silhouette, with no defined waist. She doesn't have a broad bone structure. She doesn't have very prominent, angular features.
Clothing Lines
The clothing lines should be fluid but fitted, especially around the waist. The shoulders and hips should be rounded.
The tops should be delicately fitted. The necklines should be soft, draped and rounded. The jumpers should hug the figure. They should not be too long, ideally reaching to the waist.
The trousers should be straight or form-fitting, with a soft, compact silhouette. The ideal length is just above the ankle. They can be shorter if the hem is tapered.
The skirts and dresses should be flowing or flared, defined at the waist. The length should be just above the knee or mid-calf. If the dress is long, it should be flared. If short, tapered.
The jackets and coats should be soft and well-fitting, with rounded lapels.
Textiles, Colours and Patterns
The fabrics should be moderately thick or light, so they can drape and follow your curves. The textures should be soft, such as smooth knits, silks and velvets.
You can combine different textures or colours, but this should not disrupt the overall fluidity and softness of the silhouette.
Prefer small, delicate patterns, such as rounded shapes and floral motifs.
Accessories
The accessories should be small, rounded and feminine (not childish).
The shoes should be fitted, with tapered or open toes. Heels should be small or moderate.
The bags should be small and rounded, simple or richly decorated.
The belts should be soft and thin, with rounded buckles.
The jewellry should be small, delicate and rounded.
Hairstyles and Make-up
The hairstyles should be neat, with delicate curls framing the face. Medium-length cuts are ideal, but long hair can work. However, avoid very geometric hairstyles and straight bangs that look too harsh compared to your delicate features.
The make-up should be sophisticated and delicate, highlighting the eyes or lips.
