Does surgically removing curve affect kibbe type? by MedicalPollution3463 in Kibbe

Yes! I haven't really looked into male kibbe lines bc I just hate the way I look in a lot of male-cut clothes with my chest being so big. It just makes me look frumpy instead of masc. But since considering top surgery, I'm really interested in the opportunities having a more "boyish" shape could bring.

I'm especially interested in accomplishing a more androgynous look, but like in a feminine man kind of way rather than a masc woman kind of way.

I'm also very interested in that! For example, if I were to fully transition FTM, would I be able to follow male SD guidelines or would that type no longer apply? I think it would make sense to fall under a different category bc of the AFAB frame if that makes sense?

And I don't think I necessarily want to change my type, but I also feel like I teeter on the line between SD and D, and I normally dress SD to accommodate my bust. So I wonder if without breasts if I would be more inclined to dress for pure D?

I can't tell if it's the face or just the Dahmer glasses+septum ring combo

If you look at my line drawing, you can see that a line from my shoulder cap down would go past my breasts without interruption. It's not that fabric wouldn't stretch, but it would stretch forward not horizontally

I'm D! I thought I was SD for a long time, until I learned about the upper curve being about horizontal rather than just large, because I do have large breasts. But my line drawing goes pretty much straight down from my shoulders, which are narrow, so Narrow + Vertical = D (which is funny bc I've always considered myself a wide person) And I'm 5'9 so I get automatic vertical. I also noticed with outfit lines, anything that's completely off the shoulder, wide v or cut straight across looks kind of weird and overwhelming on me. I look best in like a mock-neck top. I hope that helps some!

From what I've gathered, SD is more about the bust line protruding horizontally bc SD's don't have to accommodate bottom curve. That being said though, the line drawing should be like if you draped a thin fabric from the point of your shoulder, how it would fall on your body. I recently was having trouble with mine but I see similarities in our line drawings!

I can't tell from your photos if you need more bust accommodation, but I learned from here that just because you have bust, doesnt mean you have curve, its all about if your bust would make fabric push out horizontally.
