Notice that many designers never stop creating new designs, they tried to launch them everyday and this can be a proff why handbag industry has a massive demand in the market.

There are lots of different designs of handbags available not only in the local markets but also they are available throughout the Internet. However, there are few things you should consider, first is how to choose ones that match your need.

What fits you are small and short handbags, which can improve your personality as shorter handbag or purse can help increase height that can make you look taller than you really are.

* Are you a person with tall and thin body? Handbags may not be suitable for with this body shape. Instead, use shoulder bags for this is more suitable with the type of body you have. But, you should consider the size of shoulder bag you will choose. If you'll notice a person who has a short and plump body is not fit with large bags, then probably you should carry a larger one as your body shape is thin and tall and completely opposite with short and plump person. But is you still wan to use smaller handbag, make sure it fits snugly under your shoulder.

* Are you a person with a plus-size body? If this is your body type, which means you have extra large body, you also should stay away from small handbag. Moreover, even if you will use other bags like shoulder bags, you have to make sure that it has a long shoulder strap. Using larger handbags however better improves your personality.

  3. QUESTION:
    Do different body shapes look slutty in certain clothes?
    I was looking at a pic of Pixie Lott in very short shorts and a black skimpy vest top. She looked lovely, really pretty. Then I was thinking, if this was a girl with curves, such as hips, booty and cleavage, would she look tarty? And I think she would. Why is this? And do you agree/disagree? And I'm a woman with curves so it's not a jealousy based question!

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly I kind of think she would. I mean just based on looks, if I saw two women wearing the same outfit, but one was thinner, small-breasted, and had little curves, I would think the other one looked sluttier, even if it was the same exact outfit. I think it's just based on the way we perceive things, not that she would actually be sluttier... she would just look it!

  11. QUESTION:
    What are the different body shapes?
    What are the differences between each body shapes like pears, apples, hourglass, ect?

    I cant fully understand what shape I am and it would be nice to know.
    ok well I just wanted to know the differences between them all because I'm a little embarrassed to mentioned my measurements.
    But if it helps here they are
    40-28-43

    • ANSWER:
      well for starters, there's:
      hourglass: in which your hips and bust/shoulders are the same width, with a significantly smaller waist
      pear or triangle: where you have small shoulders and wide hips
      inverted triangle: where you have large/wide/broad shoulders and small hips
      rectangle: a more boy-ish style of body dimension, where your hips, shoulders and waist are all around the same measurement

      those are usually the most common body types, they can go by other names (spoon, cone, etc) but the above are usually the easiest to picture/imagine.
      As for you, you're probably an hourglass since you have hips and bust/shoulders around the same measurement and a smaller waistline.

    I'm in a young designers competition, and we have to design a cohesive collection of different outfits for each of the different body types. Wat do you think?

    For hourglass, I have this tight black jersey with a black waist satin belt, with green jewels on the bottom of the skirt.

    For pear I have black jeans, with green jewels at the bottom of the leg. I then have a crazy gold/black print peasant blouse.

    For apple I have a black singlet with the green jewels on the straps, and the gold print fabric on the jeans with a frilly belt.

    For petite I have a layered top and matching skirt out of black and black/print

    For boyish I have a balloon skirt out of gold satin with tulle covering it and a black long sleeved top.

    How to choose bridesmaid dresses for very different body types?
    I am starting the process of choosing bridesmaid dresses for my wedding, and I have 5 bridesmaids with very different body types. I have 2 plus size bridesmaids and 3 on the smaller side, as well as both short and tall. I realize that I need to take into consideration different body shapes when choosing a dress, but really don't like the idea of "same color, all different styles." Since we are having a June wedding, I need a style that doesn't cover too much, but not too skimpy either. Is there any way to find the right dress without having all different styles?? Any advice would be appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      Thin women look good in just about any style of dress, so dress for the plus sized girls and the thin ones may not look their very best, but they won't look as bad as a plus sized girl in the wrong dress!!!

  21. QUESTION:
    Question about different body shapes in dance. (Muscular and skinny)?
    So I noticed recently as I've struggled with my body image that I was always trying to look "skinny." I go to a ballet school where all the girls are in shape, but they are very petite. They have the ballet body look with the collarbones and hipbones showing, long necks, slender waists, etc. Today I went to a dance intensive (that was not ballet) and I met up with a girl who use to go to my old dance studio. She is in college now, and I noticed that she was extremely muscular. She's definetley in shape, but her thighs were just so muscular, they did not at all look like the typical ballerina's thighs. I've noticed that with the intensives I've gone to, the dancers there were amazing but did not have the whole ballet body look. They were beautiful dancers, dont get me wrong. (It was a modern intensive, so they have a ballet background, but a strong emphasis on modern dancing). I was just wondering what makes such a difference. Why ballerinas who train for many many hours have a different body look than girls who train in modern for many many hours. Even just watching so you think you can dance, the girls have such athletic bodies. So why would a ballerina look so petite? I know they are very muscular, (for example their backs), but their legs are so skinny. Also, would the classes I take affect my physique more. I know people say, the more you take ballet, the more your body will begin to look like a ballerina, but if I take more modern dancing, will my body start to appear more muscular in other parts of my body (like my legs)?

    • ANSWER:
      The real truth is you have to be born with a ballet body and only 2% of the population is born that way.Dancing will tone you and elongate your muscles, but you cannot get a ballet body by just dancing ballet. If that were true, there would be many more people with ballet bodies. The thing is the girls with ballet bodies train for ballet and the girls who don't have them, train for modern. A ballet body is much more conducive to ballet. That is why top ballet academies wont train anyone who doesn't have the right body type.This has more to do with feet, turnout, achilles tendons, leg to torso ratio etc. as well as low body weight. Modern/contemporary dancers come in many different body types.They all take tons of ballet too. You don't need the turnout or high instep that ballet dancers do. Also you wouldn't want the short torso with long leg combo for modern dance. Modern dancers can be almost any body type as long as they are in the best shape (lean and strong) and have the facility and musicality needed for dance. Modern dancers generally weigh at least 5-10 pounds more than ballet dancers do at the same height. That accounts for them looking bigger. Ballet dancers take modern too, but no where near as much as modern dancers do. Modern dancers take about 50% ballet technique classes to 50% modern technique classes.
      Your body will still look the same and be toned almost same. I have known ballet dancers who have switched to modern/contemporary when older. They still look the same. Many top ballet companies are doing more and more contemporary dance. You will find that in ABT as well as POB. Look at these dancers in the POB doing a piece from Mats Ek's Apartment March of the vacuum cleaners. Ballet dancers may be a bit thinner but they are very muscular and strong. http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView.do?clipid=23242278

      If you check out this Aszure Barton video, you will see the girls look a lot like ballet dancers (she likes that body type) many of these dancers were trained in modern/contemporary at Juilliard and NYU Tisch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-H3kD6trvY

    anyonee???

    • ANSWER:
      Hmm.
      Jennifer Hudson is definitely no apple! I'd say more of a cello as her breasts are still larger than her stomach.
      Beyonce - yeah, just about. Her thighs are on borderline hourglass pear, but I'd say edging towards pear.
      Scarlett Johansson would work for an hourglass.
      Hilary Duff (the picture was the same as 3), is a pretty good example of a rectangle.
      For apple - maybe Rosie O'Donnell?

      I have worked with 3 personal trainers over the last 3 months. Body shape does have some influence in perception, all 3 were in fairly good shape.

I think a personal trainer needs to show some evidence of applying good fitness practice.

  35. QUESTION:
    Why are womens body shapes different to how they used to be and becoming less feminine?
    In the past you see them and they used to be more curvy and feminine looking. They mainly had long hair and dressed better. Say in the 1960s and 70s, and further back in the 1940s and 50s.

    What's happened now that they changed so much? They seem to be bigger, too tall, and body shape different so less feminine looking.
    They seemed to be much gentler in the past also.
    Women like Elizabeth Taylor when she was young were really beautiful and feminine. Women in the 1960s still looked really good,and 70s even, then it seemed to change.

    • ANSWER:
      The women you are talking about like Liz Taylor were the ideal of their time. Most women did not look like that. Some of the housewives did, but not all. Women in those decades also wore reinforced undergarments. Fat can be shaped and molded after time. Wearing girdles, bigger panties and stockings contained and shaped the fat. My grandmother used to tell me all about the underwear and how it kept her female shape. Women's undergarments now are NOT supportive. They are horrible and I will say 99.9% of women should not be wearing a thong especially with jeans. Most women do not even wear underwear. Most women are in horrible bras that are not even the right size and are clueless about bra and panties in general. It also doesn't help that a lot of women have appetites fit for five truckers. Everything seems better than what is going on now. I hear because of all those growth hormones in animals, women are developing early and are becoming larger. I think the reason they are less feminine is that the super feminine look of the past is not instyle. Androgyny and more masculine type woman are in. I am not talking about women like Rosie O'Donnell. Look at the women who are popular like Angelina Jolie. The ideal body is a thin, tall women with beautiful face, rough or edgy and somewhat butch. This is true even in mens magazines. While some women resemble over sized beach whales some are fit. There is this idea that being too feminine is somehow being backwards or stupid. If you go to a feminist rallie you will hear the women belittle the very type of woman you like because those women are thought of as weak and followers of men. I can tell you this, whenever I dress up even in the slightest bit, I get compliments from older women and women from ages about 20-35, make some of the nastiest comments. It is just not the thing. It seems more acceptable to dress like a coke whore than a lady.

  36. QUESTION:
    Why don't the avatars come in different body shapes and sizes?

    • ANSWER:
      Because they think every body should be "skinny and cute". There is nothing wrong with avatars having freckles, a little more meat on their bones, etc. I agree with you; they should make more avatars with different bodies and sizes.

  37. QUESTION:
    different races, different body shapes?
    i know in general, black women are known for apple-shaped bodies, asian women tend to have straighter bodies (up & down), etc. what's latinas'?
    i didnt mean to offend anyone and yes in this case i am generalizing. so what? i'm aware there are exceptions and everyone is different. But its a known scientific fact that black women carry their most of their fat in their "buttox", therefore giving the apple shape. this was in no way meant to be an offensive question.

    • ANSWER:
      I can spot a Lakota from a hundred yards away. Different populations do have different shapes. I can usually tell Latina ladies from their general shape from far away. Asians are pretty easy to spot as well. Blacks are actually harder to tell at a distance. I am more familiar with the female form except the Lakota men. They have long skinny legs and a distinctive waist. Humans are very good at pattern recognition and spotting different populations by their shape is actually pretty easy. General shape is the first thing I see when I look at a person. I am not a bigot or anything. I just can't help noticing. I didn't want to get into specifics though.

  38. QUESTION:
    Are the body shapes of ancient humans different to us?
    and would we be able to tell the early humans apart if they wore modern clothing?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably not. Some of the recent red-haired reconstructions of Neanderthals could be stuck in a suit and walk right past you and into an office.

      It's not true about them being shorter. Cro Magnon man was actually taller than modern Europeans (good nutrition). It's only once you start getting into agricultural eras that people were short, due to poor calorie intake.

      They did tend to have heavier, thicker bones though, mostly from very heavy labour.

  40. QUESTION:
    What are the differences in body shape between different manufacturer's front ends on NASCAR cars?
    I am interested in doing a science project comparing the different aerodynamic drag forces acting upon the different NASCAR body styles (between Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota). To do this, I need to build my own models of the cars for test in a local wind tunnel.
    If anyone could provide any information on the front end dimensions of NASCAR cars differing by manufacturer, or could provide a website link, magazine reference, or book reference, that would be great
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      When the latest Nascar race car (COT) was introduced the frontal area, height and width was standardized so all the makes would be the same.

      The nose of the front end is different for each manufacturer. The differences are slight but they do change the performance of the car. Nascar uses this nose piece and it's differences to allow makes that are having problems keeping up still have a chance to win. dodge has been behind on performance since the COT was introduced and Nascar has allowed them 2 different nose changes to help them. The changes change the amount of aero downforce on the front tires. These changes are so slight they wont be able to be modeled in a smaller scale.

      Keep in mind the fact that drag is not the most important factor in aerodynamics of cup cars. Downforce both front and rear is the most important factor at almost all Nascar tracks.

      The truck bodies are different and do follow the manufactures styling to some extent. The problem with modeling these is they were designed by Nascar to be similar aerodynamically so no manufacturer would have an advantage. Nascar checks the bodies presented by the manufacturers in the wind tunnel and requires them to make changes to equalize drag and downforce among companies.

      In a nutshell, the Nascar 3 top series bodies have been reverse engineered to have similar aerodynamic properties with very small differences designed to equalize performance.

  41. QUESTION:
    Can you really be two body shapes at the same time?
    I was getting fitted today for my dress that was appropiate for my body and this woman said I was between a rectangle and an hourglass body shape, but how?Those are two torally different opposite body shapes.

    • ANSWER:
      no you cant be both... you can be mix which would be something else of both but not both.

      look at alternate categorization for the female form (on bottom of the page) you either have a curved waist or you don't or wide hips or you don't. so you can only be one of those.

      the way your fat is distributed throughout your body would determine if you are spoon, rectangle or hourglass etc. (on the top part of the page)

  42. QUESTION:
    What heel shapes suit different body types? (Myself more specifically)?
    I'm 5"1, medium-large UK size 10, almost hourglass-shaped.

    Call me trashy, but I need a pair of strippers heels to wear with some jeans that are way too long in the leg even with my current highest shoes (about 4 inches)!

    I'd wear the shoes with the jeans/ VERY long trousers or possibly skimpy stuff.
    I meant out of

    *stilettos: http://www.xtremefootwear.co.uk/item--Skintight-Black-Velvet--SKI3000-BVEL.html

    *spherical heels: http://www.xtremefootwear.co.uk/item--Blossom-601-Clear-Baby-Pink-Sexy-Shoes--Blossom+601+Clear+Baby+Pink.html

    N.B. The shoes would be clear, whatever shape the heels are.

    Usually when wearing wedges, I like to go for a chunky heel. However if a narrower one would be more flattering, then say so.

    • ANSWER:
      wear the shoes honey, who cares?
      a woman always looks good in a pair of heels as it makes em swing their botties and look all seductive(in the right kinda way)!!! and long jeans that touch the floor with the hint of a heel there makes it even better!!
      you sound like you have a very envious figure. i am a size 6, like a skeleton and i never feel womanly. but when i put on a pair of heels i feel like beyonce!trust me it does wonders for you!!
      that's why they call em killer heels after all!!!

  45. QUESTION:
    Bras: What are the different shapes and can you describe what defines them?
    There are so many different types of bras at the shops. T-shirt bras, plunge bras, balcony bras...the list goes on!

    Can you please tell me what characteristics each have, what bra is suitable with which type of clothes and which body shape?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      There's T-shirt bra, convertible, racer back, demi-cup, soft cup and push-up bra. They could be with underwire or no underwire like the soft cup. Underwire bra gives more support and lifts the shape. They are good for full figured women.A convertible bra comes in handy. They can save your day. Straps can be converted to crisscrosss, halter, strap set wide and there�s some that can be racer back style. This will depend on the clothes that you will wear.
      Another kind of convertible bra is the low back bra converter. This style lowers your bra back strap so you can wear low back and backless fashions, and still have the support you need.

    Good fitting jeans for different shaped body?
    I have trouble finding jeans that fit! I am a size 10 in the hips, bum and thighs, and cannot squeeze into a size 8, but my waist is too slim, and size ten jeans never stay up. Particularly hipsters! I hate having to wear really high cut jeans just so they stay up! (I know a belt is an option, but I really want some jeans that fit!) Thank you :)

  49. QUESTION:
    What swimming stroke does my body type suit best?
    I'm not the ideal tall, broad shouldered, short legged swimmer but I've heard that even within swimming, different body shapes suit the different strokes.

    I'm short (5'2), with smallish shoulders, bottom heavy with long arms and legs. Hypothetically, as I'm just working on my front crawl for now in order to join a masters club, what stroke would you say would be least of a battle for me, everything else being equal?

    • ANSWER:
      Well usually short people tend not to do sprints because they are at a disadvantage. But needless to say you can still sprint if this is not for a serious matter. For strokes, there are lots of great flyers lat are short. Long arms will help in fly but you do need lots of upper body strength. You also said you have smallsih shoulders so fly is not a grey option because you need very broad shoulders. Now back strokers are usually tall, long arms and skinny. For breastroke you need to have flexibility in your knees and long arms do help to extend you glide and reach. Hope this helps for the criteria, you know your body type better than me!
