[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your mom is probably just trying to help. But soft surroundings is for the older (55+), goddess size woman. The emphasis on "soft" is for older women 60+ because as you age your skin is much more delicate, so it is more comfortable when soft. Unless you are goddess size, this is  too old for you. But if you like it ...[/quote]

NP - I've never heard the term "goddess size" before, but what a lovely way to put it.

So older women need softer clothes because their skin gets more sensitive - is that what you're saying? I am just in my 40s now, and my mom (in her 70s) never mentioned this to me. I def have noticed that she's moved toward "softer" clothes as she's gotten older, though - I think of it as artsy stuff. Like $250 tunics with jagged hems, and parachute pants with pockets that go so far down on the legs you can't actually use them.[/quote]

My mom is 70 and she has migrated to “soft clothes” due to a breast cancer surgery, a shoulder replacement and arthritis in her hands. She struggles with stiff clothes and some zippers and buttons. Some of it might be due to sensitive skin, but it’s also about a declining ability to dress themselves, as sad as that is.  [/quote]
