I'm too old to dress like my daughter, but too young to look like my own grandmother! :-D
This is one of the reasons why I find styles I like on the clearance rack, rip the seams and make my own pattern. I'm tired of RTW fabrics and colors (purple!!! why does every manufacturer think all large women like purple?), but it's easy to find something that fits. I'm not patient enough to find a tissue pattern, make a muslin, make the necessary changes, blah blah blah.
