Hello Chefpig, I bet you look lovely in it. It's a beautiful dress and nice and airy. Try Vinted as well for Seasalt clothes. They are good quality and once you know your size, you can buy without worrying!

Gosh I really struggle with so many not understanding this. It’s a question I see asked often, usually asked to hide a passive aggressive attack.

sorry is I assume from tnr poster as it is maybe not the response she wishes.

if you wish to be passive Aggressive just come out and own it, don’t hide behind silly questions.

I literally asked Op the question I wanted to. Do not dictate to me how to ask questions.

Nothing she’s a very happy 90 year old - thanks for concern!

What’s wrong with wearing what might look good on someone of 90?
Is it possibly a fear that one no longer looks of child bearing years and so will be automatically screened out by men?

I think a lot of over sensitivity on age here. Her mum liking it isn’t ageist. Any more than her 35 year old sister or 20 year old daughter, liking it. if it’s her mums style it’s her style.

The "sorry" at the end is what makes the comment ageist.

Gosh calm down with the men obsession, most women dress for themselves first and foremost, to look good, the second reason is usually other women, women tend to only dress for men if going out to attract one.

I think your first seven words there disqualify you as worthy of a response. Troll.

For goodness sake this is about a dress and whether it suits someone or not which depends on what it looks like on that person whatever their age or shape. More importantly do they feel good in it or not.

I own quite a few Seasalt pieces, but I don't always like what they have. I walked into and out of Seasalt today having seen nothing I like.

It’s common for those without thinking ability to resort to the word “odd”.

Your reply makes no sense.

@Horses7 was asked why she added "sorry" to her comment that her mother liked Seasalt. As you commented "her mother liking it isn’t ageist. Any more than her 35 year old sister or 20 year old daughter, liking it. if it’s her mums style it’s her style."

But what is there to be "sorry" about? Would she be "sorry" if it were her sister?

Lins77 · 06/07/2026 20:37

Of course, "sorry" indicates that she thinks saying that something is what her 90 year old mother might wear is a derogatory and apology-worthy statement. Which is ageist.... Sorry 🙂

My 80 year old mum is very stylish - definitely more so than me!
