I don’t understand what OP did wrong. She said the dress was unflattering. That’s a criticism of the dress, not her dd. We’ve all seen a dress that looked great on the hanger, but once we put it on, we realized the proportions were off or the cut was all wrong on us or it didn’t drape the way we thought it would or the color washes us out or the sleeves are weird, etc. Why is it unkind to admit that it’s not as flattering as the other choices?[/quote]

Ditto.
The whole point of having someone you trust go with you is to get their feedback and if they are really good, they are pulling stuff from the racks while you are in the dressing room struggling with your bra. I go into stylist mode when shopping with my family and my kids know I will be grabbing alternate options when something just doesn't work. 
When my friend tells me it's time to dye my hair, I don't take it personally, I know it comes from a good place.[/quote]

I would never comment on somebody else’s appearance like that. I don’t think most of that little stuff matters that much. And folks who are rigidly focused on details like that often don’t imo have great personal style. [/quote]
