I disagree, is farther you told the truth, politely.

I tried some clothes on a couple of weeks ago and the changing room attendant was a young man. I put one dress on and he said "that one, looks amazing, the last was OK, but that's great"

Made me happy, his honesty was refreshing.

*facepalm* I'm permanently single and incapable of getting laid, and even I know better than that...

You're the devil. It's your job to say these kind of things. I'm surprised you didn't say four sizes up would look better.

She asked. Her huff is her cross to bear.

Depends on who you are shopping with. I would expect a 'friend' not to let me walk out with something that didn't suit me for any reason. I would see it as an act of friendship if they were honest and said it was too long, short, tight, wrong colour.

So she'd rather go out in something that looks too small and she's in a huff because you told the truth? How did you actually say it?

Depends how you say it I guess.

To say ‘maybe the next size up would sit better’ is one thing, but to say ‘you look like bread baking in twine’ is deffo not ok.

I have had both these said to me the second one was in jest by a friend. And she wasn’t wrong

Or the other classic, 'Should we maybe try the tent shop next?'

Rookie error there ..the answer you were looking for was " nah doesn't quite sit right " let her then decide if she's going to try a different size to see if it "sits" better ...you're welcome

Rookie mistake.

Always reply “it would look amazing on the bedroom floor” and wink
