shoulder pads

I'd like to write an article on shoulder pads and do some good research into this area. i note that when the term 'covered' is used re: shoulder pads, it may mean that the pad is covered in another fabric e.g. white tricot. The choice of covering for the pad is important if you want it covered..but why should the shoulder pad be covered or uncovered...

Here is another site which sells shoulder pads...of course these are all so-called fashion shoulder pads and not football pads for example...it is interesting that ornament/decoration/look and fit is all important...as well as purpose...I wrote in the previous blog...There is the important question..What does the Wearer want/ How does the Wearer want to look? What kind of Shoulder Pad does she want? Does she want it adjustable i.e. moveable. Where should the shape in the pad be. Should the shape be at the shoulder tip or should there be unform shape in the shoulder area?
