One of the most troublesome aspects of women's clothes shopping that most females encounter is not that there is not enough variety, but that nothing seems to look good on them. The clothes might be too tight in one area and too loose in another or the dress may fit perfectly but it may make you look, for want of a better phrase, frumpy. Although you may not want to stand out from the crowd and be a modern fashionista, you do not want to blend in either and finding the right clothes to help you do this can be particularly frustrating. Fortunately, there is an answer and it is extremely easy to understand. The most important piece of information that a female can possess when shopping for womens clothes is knowing what type of body shape they are. Although the television celebrities Trinny and Susannah explained in October 2007 to the Daily Mail newspaper that they believed there were 12 individual body shapes, it is widely accepted that there are simply four primary shapes and understanding which one you are can make shopping for womens clothes a whole lot easier. 1. Banana. According to a study of 6,000 women by the North Carolina State University in 2005, this is by far the most common body shape, with 46 percent of those studied having a banana body shape. A woman who has a banana body shape will not have any major accentuations, with the majority of their weight being on their stomach, bum and chest. 2. Pear. Big on the bottom and small on top, this is another common body size, with a fifth of those women studied by North Carolina State University having a pear body shape. Wide hips and large legs feature in a pear body shape, which can cause some problems when looking for trousers. The upper body, however, most women would die for, as they feature a comfortably sized bust and toned arms. 3. Apple. The main features of a woman with an apple body shape are the opposite of a pear body shape as they are generally big on top and slim on bottom. The majority of the weight a woman with an apple body shape gains is noticeable on their face, chest and stomach, whilst their legs tend to stay relatively slim. 4. Hourglass. The fourth body shape (which is actually the least popular, according to the North Carolina State University, contrary to popular belief) is the one that many women aspire to have and features a big bust, slim waist, large hips and surrounding area and slim legs (although the thighs can be large, on occasion). This information may seem useless when first looking at it, as although you may believe that, for example, you are an apple shape, you are unsure about what clothes suit you. The solution is simple and you should look for women's clothes that detract from what would be considered your weaker points (your stomach, in the case of an apple shape) and that accentuate your positive points (your bust and ankles, for an apple body shape).

When most people think of dog clothes, they visualize little dogs like Paris Hilton might tote around in her purse. Where does that leave the owners of large breed dogs? It might surprise you to know that there are plenty of clothing options for large dogs. There are also some considerations to bear in mind when clothing a larger dog. The Comfort Factor When you're considering clothing for a large dog, remember to take into account their comfort. Typically bigger dogs don't need any type of clothing during the warmer months. This will cause them to overheat. The natural response will be to attempt to remove the clothing by any means available. Generally the outfit will be ruined. The next time Brutus sees you approaching him with dog clothes, he will turn and run. Save the clothing for cooler weather. Another aspect to consider is the fit. Tight dog clothes will make your dog uncomfortable and generate the same response as clothes that cause him to overheat. Loose clothing can get caught on other things or cause the dag to become tangled. Proper fit is important to your dog's health and safety. Training the Dog for Clothes You can't just expect your dog to be as excited as you are about the prospect of is new wardrobe if he's never been asked to get dressed before. He will have to become familiar with the process. This can take some time. Initially, it is a good idea to start with something simple like a coat or hoodie. Choosing the right time of day is important too. Playtime will only result in a shredded garment. Interrupting his afternoon nap is probably not the best time either. Wait until your dog has played or exercised and is in a cooling down mode. He will still be receptive to your attention but less rambunctious. Have the dog sit and slip the clothes over his head. Put his paws through the openings, one at a time, then wait to see how he reacts. If he becomes agitated, remove the dog clothes right away. If he remains calm, leave his clothes on for only short periods at first. Repeat this routine several times a week for a couple of weeks. Gradually, you should be able to leave the clothes on for longer periods of time, if that is your desire. Once your dog is acclimated to getting dressed, he will learn to get excited when it's time to change his clothes because he knows it means extra attention from you. In addition to shirts and jerseys, you can often find dog-sized ball caps. True Religion Womens Julie Glitz And Glam W Silver Crystal Pave Trim Big Sugar Medium W No Rips
