Aibu to not know what to do with gifted clothes

[scarlettoftheseas]

Such a boring one, bear with me!

A friend of mine who I see frequently has given me a couple of dresses that didn't fit her. I didn't see them beforehand or know in advance, she just brought them over and gave them to me. Thank you, very generous! But now I've tried them on and they're really not to my taste

My question is.. now what?! Do I give them back? Do I keep them and let them waste away unloved in my wardrobe? Do I regift them? The thing is, she's quite sensitive and I feel she'd be weirdly offended if I gave them back. Any suggestions?

Tell her they just didn't suit you and ask what she'd like you to do with them.

Say they don't fit you either and ask her what she wants you to do with them? Saves offending her by saying you don't like them

Problem is, we're very similar body shapes and used to be the same size - but she's lost some weight so is hit and miss now with sizes, hence why she gave them straight to me as she knew they'd fit

Ahhh I'm just worried she'll be funny if I say anything negative! I just know she'll think I'm judging her tastes and will be hesitant to ever ask my opinion again - dramatic, I know, but she takes things to heart

Just stick them in your wardrobe for a year and forget about them. Then get rid with a clear out. If she mentions after that fact tell her you forgot where they came from.

Even though you're the same size it will still look different on some people. Just say they didn't suit you.

i would keep hold of then for a bit. just stick them in the back of your wardrobe or up in the loft. if she asks tell a white lie about wearing them for something. They won't disintegrate you can still pass them on to charoty further down the line.

Tell her you don't think you would wear them and would she like them back or should you take them to the charity shop? Otherwise she will be offloading all her old clothes on you
