08 / A few answers
Before you begin.
Can I take the photo analysis now?
The photo and questionnaire analysis is in development. The example on this page shows the planned report format; photo uploads are not available yet.
What would I need for the analysis?
The planned flow combines a front-facing, full-length photo in everyday fitted clothing with questions about garment fit and style preferences. You do not need to prepare or submit a photo now.
What if one shape does not describe me?
You can use more than one reference when exploring clothing. Your comfort, preferences, and the actual fit of a garment matter more than settling on one label.
Is this an official Kibbe or Kitchener consultation?
No. bodyshape.pro is an independent educational project. Geometric body shapes, Kibbe image identities, and Kitchener style essences are separate topics.
Can I upload or delete a photo here?
This website does not currently accept photo uploads. Details of photo processing, storage, and deletion will be provided before an upload feature becomes available.
