My friend buys certain brands just for their names from the mall, and they dont fit her well.?

Question

Everyone secretly makes fun of her and she has no idea. But it's true her clothes are wayyyy to tight (and I don't mean "tight" in a good way) should I tell her

Answer 1

tell her that you overheard people making fun of her for wearing clothes that are way too small. Then tell her that you think she would look good in something a little more "loose fitting" anyways.

Answer 2

If she is your true friend - YES, but do it nicely. Don't even worry about the part of people making fun of her, she'll always have haters, as will all people, but tell her coming from YOU that those clothes seem a little tight and is that what she's going for? Maybe it is and if it is then let her go on that way if it makes her happy... there is nothing wrong with honesty, if she doesn't want to listen then you can go ahead and tell her about the stares and laughs she gets, if shes insecure it would most definitely make her put some different clothes on. Good luck!

Answer 3

please tell her but be forewarned it may not make a difference. as for folks talking about her-who cares! People will always talk about someone for some reason or another.

My god daughter had a friend who did this-she wasnt fat or phat but her clothes made her look like this because she was squeezing into them-and heres a flash for you all -an 8 squeezing into a 4 or a 6 into a 2 is not pretty either. Appeareance does seem to be an issue to her but the best way to address this depends on her-and oyu know her better than we do-use the approach that is most tactful and that will preserve your friendship.

You are a good friend for caring enough to ask for help. Doesnt matter that you didnt tell her before now-whats important is that you tell her now.

I hope this helps

Answer 4

Of course she wants to wear clothes that make her feel like she fits in, even though she doesn't quite "fit in" them... who doesnt' want to feel like one of the crowd?

You need to be very very gentle with her because she's probably already self-conscious or has a low self esteem, which is why she dresses that way.

Pictures speak a thousand words. Do you have any pictures of her with your other friends that you can show her in an offhanded way? "Gee, look at these great pictures I took of all of us at the mall!" Maybe you can take a bunch of pictures of her on your next outing that really show how she's overflowing her clothes. Make sure you have other people in the pictures too so that she has a refference for what she looks like compared to others. It will also not make her feel like you're just picking on her.

You could also try to gently navigate her towards stores which do carry her size next time you're shopping. "Oooh...let's look in here in Hot Topix".

Answer 5

You should definately tell her

this may sound mean but IF, if shes a big-ish girl, theres nothing worse that a size 12 trying to fit into a size 8 in attempt to make themselves look thinner :S

Also she cant be too comfortable if you can actually notice her clothes are too small. The only way to be confident is being comfortable and dressing to suit your shape.

hope this helps XD

Answer 6

You need to tell her. If she's really your friend, she'd understand. She should know what you're trying to do is to prevent herself from something that definitley shouldn't be done. But don't go to harsh. Try to use soft words. Maybe she'd like the style, but if no one accepts her just because of that, it wouldn't be changed until someone will. Which I'm assuming is you. Good Luck!

Answer 7

A good friend would tell her, or how about this take a picture of her and print it out...give it to her, see if she notices. Sometimes people don't see themselves the way the public does. If she does realize, Horay! If not tell her, she'll thank you when she's 40!

Answer 8

You should tell her. In the end she'll be thanking you.

Just get in the subject of your clothes and just be like some people actually make fun of you because your clothes are waaayy to tight on you. I dunno but you could try bigger clothes from this great store I know.
And then just completely drop the subject and move on because it'll embarrass her if you keep talking about.

Answer 9

You can tell her subtly. When you go shopping with her, just suggest something a bit baggier will look good on her. Once she's got a few items that are a bit better fitting, keep complimenting her on how good she looks in them.

Answer 10

you should go shopping with her and say just for fun lets pick out outfits for each other to try on. then get stuff that actually fits her :) hopefully she will see how good she looks and start wearing the right cloths for her! Good Luck!
