my earlier notes on shoulder pad

i copy the notes : (

I was looking at a man wearing a shirt, a business shirt and I was looking at his shoulder line. I was thinking again of a new type of shoulder pad. Of course shoulder pads are not suitable for shirts but a type of shoulder pad for a women's shirt or blouse may be suitbale ; but the dimensions of the pad are important. I do not have knowledge of drafting for shoulder pads and at the present time, i am not sure how to go about doing illustrations...
 
However a neat shoulder pad can be developed perhaps based on a woman's shirt and then moving into jackets. Of course there are many different fabrics for jackets so there may be a market for certain types of shoulder pads for certain fabrics and this idea is important. It links in with creating a neat shoulder pad for a woman's blouse..or a shirt...so what kind of 'neatness' do you have in mind..my first rule is that the shoulder pad is something 'padded' but this shoulder pad would be reduced in height and certainly in width...a possible shoulder pad would begin at the shoulder neck point and then 'diverge' out in size so that the padding is in the shoulder tip area ; this is the area that you may want..So this shoulder pad would have its main aim the padding out of the shoulder tip area...it wouldn't have a uniform width and height 'over' the shoulder..and it wouldn't pad out the whole shoulder line; this is important'
 
This new shoulder pad thus wouldn't pad out the entire shoulder line.
I write some blog entries on clothing and I intend also to write an entry on inserting a shoulder pad..
 
Now the analysis of materials is important.
