[quote=Anonymous]My daughter makes a point of wanting real feedback on things like dresses so I try to give it but I’m very careful. I only talk abt the dress rather than her (“the straps seem to be too xyz”) and also follow up with something self deprecating with a “but you know I’m an old lady so what do I know” vibe, like or “but I’m sure you have know what’s best ” “I know grandma didn’t have a good handle on teen style when I was your age” etc. This seems to work well. In your case I would apologize but not make a big deal. And make sure the apology implies what you said came out wrong not you are sorry you let the cat out of the bag that she looks bad in dresses.
