Having been a part of the " Fashion " industry, for many years, I am noticing that beautiful, IS... and a woman who dresses in a way that she feels, even though she is older in numbers, is, yet, Beautiful...some of the clothing is too... Old Lady, for alot of women, because as we are getting older we still feel YOUNG...

My Mother always told me, " Age, is just a number ". she was right.
My Aunt always said, " Youth is waisted on the young ".

Do whatever makes YOU happy, but, don't try to overdo it either...as too much of a good thing, IS, too much... ( jewelry & makeup ) especially!

Sorry, but not many women older than 50, and especially 60s and 70s, can wear sleeveless clothing. You just can't hide from those bat wings. Even skinny women get them. Just an unfortunate fact of aging. Maybe if you are big into lifting weights, you can delay it, but it will get you eventually. Another sign of why men age better than women. They seldom get bat wings!

masanddjs......
Yes, those " bat wing - arms " & " turkey necks " .... yes, but, I was just speaking of the look, you know... YOU CAN.... wear. ( NO MINIS EITHER! )
If you have any of these things there is clothing you can always rely on, such as ...dolman sleeves, they are in style once again... and try to keep a smile on the face, it really does help to be less ridgid... Hair styles are a helpful tool if you don't want to use any fillers etc. I don't think of surgery, but, turkey-neck is pretty awful I must admit... some women wear turtle necks, in Summer? I personally don't think so as it would seem to me to attract attention to the problem.

Hey, get a grip! I am seventy and I look better in a sleeveless top than my teenage neighbors. Most young girls have pot bellies and slump.
Get off of old women.

The one thing so aging on a woman is the short, curly hair these ladies wear in their late 60's and 70's. It's atrocious and dates you. Why not wear a sleek bob that is shoulder length or even past the ear?

I am almost 59 myself and people think I'm in my mid 40's. Younger men hit on me. It's all in how you dress which includes, very much so, the hair style. I'm impressed when I see an older woman wearing tight jeans. Spare me those hideous elastic waist, floppy fitting pants you ladies wear.

And please, I work in make-up, stay away from powder of any kind on your face!! It accentuates every wrinkle we have. Use a moisturizer under a sheer foundation. One customer I have insists on wearing dark make-up to make her look tanned. Instead she looks like a brown wrinkled paper bag. It is hideous!! She's quite attractive but the dark foundation is just WRONG!

Take care of your health ladies. Get out and take walks every day.

IT IS NOT AS MUCH WHAT YOU WEAR AS HOW YOU WEAR IT. THE SAME PLAIN DRESS CAN LOOK STUNNING ON A MORE MATURE PERSON AND CHEAP ON A YOUNG ONE. IT IS HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF THAT MAKES THE IMPRESSION. ACCESSORIES, SIMPLE EARRINGS AND A HANDBAG THAT IS NOT THE SIZE OF A SUITCASE ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE NOT CLODHOPPER SHOES AND A PLEASANT EXPRESSION WILL COMPLETE THE OUTFIT. JEANS AND A SWEATSHIRT WILL TURN HEADS IF WORN PROUDLY WITH A GODLY GLOW. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE RICH OR YOUNG TO CARRY MANNERS AND CHARM TO THE LIMIT.

palomino..."Godly glow"? Good grief. I guess atheists are just SOL, huh? Why do you religious freaks have to bring religion into everything including fashion? Would you wrap your "Godly glow" in a shapeless toga type dress then? Get over yourself.

CAN YOU SAY MILF ?

Oh Please! Leave us alone! Yeah, we're all going out to Balls and dressing up. I'm in the dirty but wonderful garden in my cut offs or my jeans and T shirt. I love casual, I embrace clean and easy. I'm not out to impress anyone, get a date or get married. I even dress up casually! A lot of us are still participating in life but in plainer clothes. My husband and I are starting a new business and most of it is run over the phone, unseen. You must mean old former "stars". The rest of us are living Real lives, happily, comfortablly in our jeans and t-shirts.

those ole gals need to be checked for walking farts first.

Hi there everyone, Just wanted to add what i think about the dressing and remarks about age. I belive that age is a number and if you look hey like me i am 63years old but everyone saids i look like i am in my 50"s that sure makes me feel good. I was always a greate dresser and try to dress like 10years younger then my age not like a teenage you know. I am slim and i would say pretty much everything i wear looks fresh and good on me. I am not a model but i do get a lot of compliemnts from younger men and specially the women. I belive that its as youghtful as you feel. I go dancing twice a week and take care of myself and i am very proud of me. I did take designing in school and i just know how to pull it all together like a fashion desider and i feel greate i am very honor i can share this with other women who just want to say oh i am old i don"t need to impress anyone but hey how about the miror ha. okay so hope you all enjoy my story and keep up the greate work young at heart. Its worth it for yoursefe. Yours Trueley Marge. by.

Just wait, you will be in the old fart category some day. Enjoy your youth while you can.

for a woman herrrrrrr age ! sheeee hotter than helll

Even Helen Mirren is self-conscious about her arms, according to recent headlines. In fact, she is wearing a lightweight shrug in this picture, but she always looks great as she dresses to flatter her figure. It's the same at any age.

It is hard to find clothes with sleeves to wear if your arms aren't your best feature though, especially for special occasions. I think www.armedandglamorous.co.uk has a good selection.

Hi everyone, I find one think that " enjoy every moment of the life " . I agree with professor Twigg . I know that the women over the sixty takes enjoy of the shopping . In my opinion, you can wear any dress in the any moment of life.
I hope to you to present this type of the forum in the future also.
Great share, great post ,thanking you.
