Nude is a great option, but you should also pay attention to your personal skin tone. Just because the package says "skin tone" or "natural," does not necessarily mean that it will match your skin tone. For example, if you have very pale skin, you don't want something that is tanned or dark; it will look fake against your complexion. Instead, you could try ivory or something labeled "fair." For example, if you have a black dress, then choose a pair of black tights or stockings. There is an exception to this rule, however; if your outfit is darker than the shoes you are wearing, choose nude-colored tights or stockings instead. The nude color should match the color of your legs, be it fair, neutral, Nubian, etc. For example, you are wearing black shoes, then you could wear black tights or stockings. You could also wear tights or stockings that are a little bit lighter than your shoes, but within reason. You don't want to wear white, opaque tights with black shoes.  If your shoes are darker than the skirt or dress you are wearing, then wear stockings that match your skin color instead. If you are wearing open-toed shoes, go sheer and nude-colored. It would be best to skip tights or stockings altogether, however. Avoid wearing black tights with brightly-colored shoes. The contrast is stark and often cartoonish. It will also make your legs look shorter and chunkier than they actually are. Remember, not everything that is labeled "nude," "skin tone," or "buff" will match your legs. Some of these might be too dark for you, while others might be too light. If you have very fair skin, you might even have to go with "off-white" or "ivory." If you have very dark skin, you might have to stick with "brown," "espresso," or even special order them online; sheer black might be too dark for you. The material should match your skin tone. If you go too dark, the color will look fake, instead of "sun-kissed" or "tanned." White, especially opaque white, is often associated with children and the Victorian and Colonial time eras. Unless this is the look you are going for, you might want to avoid wearing white, opaque tights and black shoes.  This look is appropriate for young children. If you have very fair skin, most "nude" colored tights and stockings might be too dark for you. In this case, sheer ivory or sheer off-white might be light enough for you.

One-sentence summary -- Choose skin-toned tights and stockings with care. Match your tights or stockings to the hemline of your skirt or dress. Consider matching your tights or stockings to your shoes instead. Choose something sheer that matches your skin tone if your shoes and skirt/dress are both bright colors. Avoid wearing white tights, especially with black shoes.

Q: Your newfound feelings of affection for your girl friend may be light years from her own feelings about you. After all, yesterday you were both friends, while today, at least one of you has shifted into new territory. Has she given you any indication that she might be interested in something deeper than platonic friendship? Have you seen signs of flirting or wanting to be close all the time? Or does she act the way she always has done, friendly, attentive and affectionate but only in the way of a good friend? Paying attention to these things can help you have a better sense of the situation.  See how she acts when she talks to you. Is she the same as she's always been, or has she been suddenly acting more self-conscious? If that's the case, then she may be nervous because she wants something more from you, too. However, if she does act exactly the same, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have new feelings for you. Still, it helps to try to gauge her feelings before you proceed. Was she always comfortable telling you about the guys she likes, but she has recently stopped doing that? This could be an indication that you may be the only guy she has feelings for. You may be so hung up on the idea of dating your favorite girl friend that you may not be reading the signs properly. If you have some trusted friends who have hung out with the two of you and can watch you in action objectively, then don't be afraid to ask them what they honestly think your chances are. A true friend will give you his honest opinion, and he may be able to tell you if he thinks she likes you, or if she just sees you as a friend.  Of course, your friends may just be telling you what you want to hear. But if you seek out an honest friend and ask for an honest opinion, you may be in luck. This doesn't mean that your friends will be able to read the situation better than you can. But it does help to have your suspicions confirmed, or to have your friend break the news that the girl actually likes someone else. Be clear. The problem often lies in being nice, as friends usually are. Niceness is an admirable quality in friendship but it's bland when it comes to passion and love. Being nice rather than flirtatious and daring will give her the impression that you are a great friend, but not a great lover. If you keep it up, you'll most likely get stuck in the friend zone. The answer? You really need to flirt more! And if you don't think you're any good at flirting, don't worry––flirting is, and should be, playful and fun. Don't let her do the usual "friend" things with you. Don't let her treat you like a girlfriend or tell you about a boy she likes. Make sure that she sees you as more than that. Before you go and ask out your girl friend, make sure that you're really ready to take the risk involved in asking out one of your friends. If she's one of your best friends, or is even your best friend, then you have to make sure that your feelings are really genuine and that you're ready to take the plunge, and to risk the friendship you have by dating. In the end, your friendship may be more important than your romantic relationship. The truth is that most relationships don't end in marriage, and you may not be able to return to your old friendship when you break up. However, if you really do like the girl and see a real future with her, then you should go for it.
A: Try to figure out how she feels about you. Ask your friends what they think. Avoid the friend zone. Make sure it's worth it.

Article: Mark the spots on the pillow with a pencil where your chest, waist and hips are, according to the measurements you've just taken. This may be challenging to get through, but it is worth the patient effort required. The end result should be shaped a little like a human torso. This is to check that you've pinned the pillow in accurately. If the measurements don't match your initial ones, then keep adjusting with the safety pins. If it matches, move on.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use the pillow as the body of the mannequin. Gather some of the leftover material on the pillow to adjust the pillow to the size and shape of your body, and pin it tightly into the shape of your measurements––take it slowly and do this with care, so as not to stab yourself with the pins. Once the pillow is adjusted, measure all three areas with the measuring tape.
