[quote=Anonymous]OP you clearly triggered a lot of people that have complicated relationships with their mother. I don’t think you’re a narcissist (WTF). Your daughter took you for the purpose of you giving an opinion and helping her pick something that great on her. However, I would have found different words than “unflattering.” Instead maybe being specific and factual about it (it bunches under the ribs and shouldn’t, the material doesn’t drape well, it gapes in the chest, etc.) would have went over better and felt less personal to her. What’s done is done. You didn’t do anything terrible, but what matters is how she is feeling. Talk to her about it and apologize, tell her she is beautiful and you used the wrong words. You realize she is hurt and you’re sorry and love her. Then move on, she will too when she is ready. Let her give you the cold shoulder if she wants to, it’s her coping. [/quote]
