The West Wing Women Kibbe Types

If you don't know Kibbe look it up, otherwise this post will make no sense! No type is better than the other! “The Kibbe body types are an array of 13 body types based on the overall proportions of one's bone structure, body flesh, and facial features” 

C.J Cregg- Flamboyant Natural

- Wide Open features such as eyes, face, shoulders

Height: typically moderate to very tall, 5.5ft and over. Long vertical line.

Body type: straight and angular (broad, not sharp). Arms and legs tend toward musculature. Bust and hips tend to be flat or straight (unless very overweight).

Bone structure: large and angular with blunt edges. Broad and square bones. Wide shoulders. Long arms and legs. Large hands and feet (usually somewhat wide, but may also be narrow, with long fingers and toes). Facial bones are broad or prominent (nose, cheeks, jawline - blunt, not sharp).

Facial features: Eyes may be very large and open or very straight and small. Lips are straight and slightly thin. Cheeks are usually taut, unless overweight.

Kate Harper- Natural

Height: typically moderate to slightly tall, up to 5.8ft. Long vertical line. 

Body type: straight and muscular. No waist definition. Lean and slightly lithe. Flat hips and slightly flat bustline. Slightly long arms and legs. Possibly long-waisted.

Facial Features: sightly broad, blunt, or irregular. Moderate to small eyes. Taut cheeks. Slightly wide features (open). Straight, slightly thin lips

Abbey Bartlet- Romantic

Height: typically moderate to petite, usually 5.5ft and under. Short vertical line.

Body type: soft and voluptuous. Hourglass figure; curvy (bust and hips, with a small waist (in proportion to the curves). Fleshy arms and legs.

Bone structure: delicate and smallish. Usually on the wide side. Rounded or sloped shoulders. Small hands and feet (may be slightly wide). Facial bones are small, delicate and may be slightly wide or lush (nose, cheekbones, jawline). If the bone structure is slightly wide or lush, may appear as having a large bone structure. This is deceiving, for the shortness of the limbs and extremities offsets the width. In context of the overall voluptuous figure, the bone structure is delicate.

Facial features: lush; full, and sensual (rounded). Large, luminous eyes. Full lips. Fleshy cheeks.
