I have a dress which I've been wearing since the 80's. Why? It is comfortable and flattering. Or at least it would be if it wasn't now thoroughly disreputable. I have searched in vain for a similar style for years now, so I can finally throw it out, but with no luck whatsoever. Oh I have seen similar things online, in America. Over there it's easy to buy simple denim dresses, flared or gathered from a high waistline, flattering and comfortable for the older woman. But here, designers insist we have waistlines, whether we have one or not. I have never had a waistline to speak of. In fitted garments I just look like a sack of spuds. There is a wonderful, and inexpensive range in the U.S. called Woman Within. Another called The Tog Shop. Over there they have a range for the disabled to make dressing easier and more dignified: Care Apparel. And so on. http://seniors.lovetoknow.com/Fashions_for_Elderly_Women After much hunting I found one dress here in a similar style, in brown marl: a colour guaranteed to make me look like porridge. There is actually one British firm selling garments from Woman Within: tops and pants, no dresses. Why? Is it too much to ask? Am I the only person who wants this type of garment? I saw another designer wanting about £150 for a dress I would wear! I hate having to say it, but it seems the Americans have us beaten hands down when it comes to fashion for the elderly.
AIBU To Be So Annoyed at the Stupidity of This
