Kibbe type comparison
Soft Natural vs Soft Classic
Both are soft, feminine types with rounded flesh, which is why they’re so often mixed up. The difference is the skeleton underneath.
The key difference
Width and bluntness vs symmetry and refinement. The Soft Natural has a broad, relaxed frame; the Soft Classic has an even, refined one.
