My mum is mid 50s. She is straight up and down, no waist. Biggish boobs, size 12.
She hates her legs (she thinks they are too thin) She will only wear low-cut with chunky necklace.
Basically, she is feeling very depressed right now because (she says) everything she tries on looks rubbish on her.
She has a wierd thing about not wanting to wear normal/nice clothes for just 'in the house' and will only wear crappy tshirts (which she complains look crap) and then when I suggest a blouse/tunic top she uses the excuse that there's no point wearing anything like that in the house, and that what if she spills bleach on it (as if she is sloshing around the bleach on a daily basis)
Help me say the right things and make some recommendations of shapes/styles etc. We went shopping today and she tried on something really nice that gave her an empire line shape, but she could not see it [exasperated emoticon]
Shall I just leave her to it? You see, I know she wants to look nice, but she just doesn't feel nice in anything.
Any suggestions/advice/help greatly appreciated
