I found a few nice things I think she might go for by following your suggestions.
She’s not a prude, she just wants normal classy clothes that don’t reveal all you have- ‘like it used to be before the fashion world went nuts’. LOL

My grandmother also wears a size 4 pant, so that further limits her choices. (She’s always been very slim.)
Most start at size 8.

I’m with your grandmother. They drive me crazy, too. :D I’m petite and generally avoid wearing pants - I don’t actually own any at the moment. I like to look feminine, but stylish at the same time. I end up sewing and buying vintage to get exactly what I want.

Clothing is important; it really is. We seem to be programed to look at eat other to get hints about how we should treat each other and clothing is part of that.

I read an article just this week about how 1940’s-1950’s fashion is coming back. One of the women in the article mentioned that men treat her differently (better) when she dresses more femininely. They open doors and watch their mouths around her.

It’s such a shame that we toss that out the window whenever we wear clothes that leave nothing to the imagination or dress like men.

Here’s the article. It’s an interesting read. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/03/fashion/03REPRO.html
