Theatrical Romantic

Lush curves with a bold, vivid edge

What Does Theatrical Romantic Mean?

The Theatrical Romantic Kibbe type has the rounded, petite, curved bones of the Romantic family but with facial features that are bolder and more vivid than the pure Romantic. They need the softness and curve of Romantic dressing but with more drama and expressiveness added.

Theatrical Romantic women have small, rounded bones and full, curved flesh like the Romantic type. However their facial features have a more striking, vivid quality — larger eyes, bolder features, more expression. This means purely soft, sweet, pastel Romantic dressing can feel slightly underwhelming. The Theatrical Romantic looks most herself when she incorporates the softness and curve of Romantic dressing with a bolder color, a more dramatic accessory or a more expressive detail.

What to Wear as a Theatrical Romantic

Silhouettes That Work With Your Lines

  • Body conscious soft dresses with curve
  • Wrap styles in substantial fabric
  • Bold colors or rich prints in rounded silhouettes
  • Fitted tops with flared or full skirts
  • Soft draped styles with a striking element
  • Feminine cuts with one bold detail
  • Curved, body following silhouettes

Fabrics That Suit Your Type

  • Velvet — rich and dramatic
  • Satin — bold and sensual
  • Substantial chiffon — soft but with presence
  • Heavy jersey — curves with weight
  • Lace with bold color — romantic but vivid

Lines That Work Against You

Very angular, minimal or colorless styling feels at odds with the vivid quality of Theatrical Romantic features. Very sweet, pastel, overtly girlish styling can feel too soft and lack the boldness this type's features suggest.
