I appreciate when stores are honest about this. I like to ask saleswoman if girls have bought the item I'm interested in. I can see when they're honest or not.

I know and that’s why I was annoyed. That’s the only time I saw an older person there.

As long as it looks good who cares. You can make it more mature looking with the right shoe, jewelry, sheitel style… and I also find that certain stores tend to be shopped at more by teens than adults for example udel is mainly a teen store. Ur guaranteed to find 13 yr olds wearing the same as you. Blew is also pretty young. Certain outfits from fame are also for the young ones. Ask the sales lady if what ur trying on is being bought by lots of teens

Not sure why you have to be annoyed… one day you’ll be 70 and I’m sure you won’t want people being annoyed at you for shopping somewhere!

Op my friends in their 40s share clothes with their post sem dds

My 19 yo DD wore the same Mac Duggal dress to her friends wedding that the chasson’s aunt wore. Who shouldn’t have worn it?

Mac duggal is usually an older than 19 style

lol my teen sister has the same sweater as me. If anything she’s the one who cares I really have more pressing worries.

Why is this a problem? I don't get it. People wear clothes. Enjoy your clothes.

When I was around 20 I stepped out do the dressing room in Junees and a 70 year old woman stepped out of the other dressing room at the same time trying on the same dress I was trying on.

How do you know she was 70? Maybe manufacturers should start putting age limits on the tags?

My 65 year old grandma showed up to a vort wearing the same dress as her 18 year old grandkid. My cousin was mortified, Bobby was proud of her own youthful taste.

I’m laughing because I am 48 and my 21 and 23 year old DDs and I share clothes. And we have all gotten compliments on the items. But then again, I don’t live in Lakewood.

Same. I actually don't love it but my 20 year old daughter shops my closet ALL THE TIME. I often don't go back to wearing it after she's worn it a few times but some classic items we totally swap back and forth

Ugg this thread is so ageist.

Mortified because a 50 year old wore a dress you wore? Do you know how young 50 is? Do you think that there is some magic number and its pearls, dr. Scholls, and housecoats going forward?

Getting annoyed because an old lady shopped at Junees? This is so snobby.

Dresses for anyone older than 24mos doesn’t have a recommended AGE on a tag, just a SIZE.

Why is it outrageous to be wearing a dress that looks good on you and see someone else who’s not your age look good in it too?

Women of all ages are all sizes.

I wouldn't wear a dress my own daughter or mother owned, because that it looks odd (to me) for a family to be dressed identically.

But some random person? Who cares? It's not a custom gown, it's an off-the-rack dress.
I fully expect that someone other than myself will own the same item, and I have no idea if we are all in the same age bracket.

Also, so many of the floral dresses that women wear these days look like granny dresses, so don't be shocked when your grandma wears them!

I always remind the saleswomen in stores that I don’t want to match my girls. Not even my married daughter. But it happened again. I spent $200 on a dress, went to a vort and a 14 year old girl was matching me. Do I bury in the back of my closet and never wear again?

Why should you do it but not thw 14 year lld girl?
Why would teen culture determine what the adult culture is?

When I was newlywed I saw a woman in her 40s wearing a dress I had, after that it just always looked old to me. But I guess I never really loved it to begin with. I think if I really loved an item I would still wear it. I don't understand how this doesn't happen when people all shop in the same few stores.

I bought a long dress in a local store to wear to my niece's wedding. It was definitely a more mature type of style. And when I got there, there was an older teen girl (or maybe she was in her low 20's) from the other side (chosson's relative) wearing the same dress.

I actually felt sorry for her. I'm thinner and the dress looked so much better on me, and it's too mature for a young girl.

I'm not stopping to wear it.
