My tunic does show my ass

Cut outs are in.

Bingo. And the loss of estrogen doesn't help. However, some women with big boobs maintain a curved waist, whether by genetics or work or surgery or what have you, and those boobs themselves do not make them matronly without the challenge of the waist.

I think that’s true. It’s more about holding onto the hourglass figure. If you still have a smaller waist with a larger chest as you get older - great! But the “Apple shape” is what starts looking dowdy and matronly a lot of the time.

Big boobs help you avoid the apple shape anyway. Your waist can add so many inches and still look like an hourglass.

OMFG is this why the witch in Snow White uses an apple? The whole thing is a freaking metaphor????

Anyway in the witch cabins we have literal hourglasses, the new girl uses them to time her sourdough. And we have apples obviously because we all got really into gardening a few years ago, though now things are a bit neglected because of the heat and our backs.

Snow White obviously always wore her girdle so no one knew her age from her backside; this is why the stepmother poisoned her 🍎🍏🍎🍏

I’m at a family function right now and my cousins with big boobs look older than same age people with small or even just average-sized chests. It changes your body shape and dictates how you dress to some degree. And yes, it all means more matronly.

Someone posted pics of Helen Mirren upthread to prove an older woman with big breasts can look youthful and hot. That’s how you know it’s true— Helen Mirren is the exception that proves the rule. She makes wrinkles and gray hair and a womanly older body look good.

There’s only one Helen Mirren.

So, how many attractive older women with large breasts do I have to post to make the point? Because I can think of several without trying.

And yes, these are women paid to be beautiful. They are professionally in the public eye. But c'mon, the critical stance that big breast on their own as an attribute will necessarily make you look matronly is, well, bunk. You know that. It's a lot of things added up, including how you style your body (as well as 600 other things).

If you look matronly, it's not because your breasts are big. It's because those breasts aren't supported, or are dwarfed by a protruding belly, or are draped in eight thousand dishwater-colored scarves, or whatever. But it's not just because of the breasts. Sorry if that pricks the happy bubble of revenge for some people, but that was a gross one to begin with anyway.

There is a middle aged body we are all familiar with that starts to look more rectangular. I think that's what PP was talking about. And you do often see women who've come into that shape in tunics that emphasize it. I just don't know what the heck you're supposed to do about it or how you can call it a "style choice." Our bodies make some choices for us!

That highlights the issue with tunics- no waist.

But that’s why I’m WEARING the mother f$&ing tunic in the first place!!

This is exhausting and the reason the smart women hit 40 and move to the edge of the woods to be witches.

Look, a witch's caftan is a style CHOICE that I fully support.

Right? Witches cabins are probably a huge tax advantage. And if I need a man, there’s no reason I can’t take one captive.

I would like to sign up for the witch cabin. I have plenty of caftans I can share and and assortment of capris, tankinis and non-sexy sandals as well.

I just bought my first caftan, can I come like in the witch cabin commune?

Do you do any fiber crafts?

No but sourdough

I quilt!!

1. White hair.
2. Other visible signs of age, such as wrinkles, sun spots, etc.
3. Too much weight.
2. Short hair instead of long.
3. Lack of attention paid to changing bodies and how best to find clothes that fit.

The pattern, color or style of clothes matters less than the above. Make-up or absence of make-up matters less than presence of frown lines, crow's feet, white hairs, etc.

I include signs of age as stylistic choices, even though many women chose not to do anything about it, and I respect that choice.

Nothing worse than limp long hair that’s kept long just for the sake of being long.

Dunno, fried, frizzy hair looks pretty bad, too (and I wonder if it’s a side effect of thyroid meds). I guess it’s gonna look bad long or short. I wonder if hair oil would help.

Clothes that don’t fit properly.

I have been working in London recently and a lot of the female associates and leadership in our London offices are wearing loose fitting floral dresses. Don't see how that is age related.

That's just terrible frumpy British fashion.

I don't think you've been to London or seen these women. I thought they looked great!

Big boobs help you avoid the apple shape anyway. Your waist can add so many inches and still look like an hourglass.

Not if your boobs kind of melt into your waistline as it expands, which is what often happens.

Yes, supportive undergarments make all the difference, but as you can see from this thread, the desire to wear heavy duty bras and/or waist cinching foundational garments declines with age. Thus: tunics, caftans, leggings, etc.

It starts with Soft Surroundings but eventually we just drape some burlap and moss.

Oh my gosh this is so easy. Anyone who was wearing skinny jeans is exactly 40 or older!

I work for a British company and have been to London plenty. It’s just an old-fashioned British thing. Like chintz sofas, if you like it, you like it. But it’s undeniably not modern. And these women wear it all their lives, from 20-80.
