I believe it is a mind thing. There are people who act and dress older because they think they should and there are others who never dress nor act their age. A lot of the modern fashions that the young ones are wearing now my wife wont wear because she sees them as old fashioned because they were there in her youth and it was old people who wore them :) I think the stereotype granny with the long skirt and white pinny are long gone for most modern grannies.
So many clothes out there! I was looking for the classic feel, like that waitress outfit or the Uniform Dress can be retextured to my needs. I know most women out there prefer the casual look but in my neck of the woods they refuse to feel comfortable at any age :)
Thanks for all the suggestions :)
Corrective morphs, perhaps, since in reality for a woman to have it look like we think it should, she'd be constantly adjusting the top.
How about something from the Frivolous Forties line?

Beats me. While I'm now in my 50s (shudder and gasping, I can't believe I'm there yet!!!), I am nowhere near ready to be a grandmother! I refuse to be very mature either. I want to have fun with my kids who are all still under the age of 16, at least for another 2 months, anyway. I have a twin sister whose daughter was pregnant at the same time I was pregnant with my second and then again with my third sons making my sister a grandmother at the same I'm was barely becoming a mother. As for clothes, since moving to Florida, my wardrobe consists of shorts and t-shirts. I'm usually either barefoot or wearing sandals. I can't eve remember the last time I had on a pair of sneakers, or pants for that matter. If I wear a dress, which is rare, I opt for the slouchy type with plenty of room to breathe, nothing fitted. I like being comfortable and able to sit on the floor if I please so slouchy and baggy usually works for me.
Wilmap makes great clothes and many of them could work well for an older or more mature character. She has a lot of freebies on her website: https://www.wilmapsdigitalcreations.co.uk/
The Frivolous Forties are great. I'm also looking through Wilmaps' collection, very generous and many suitable clothing items! Thanks :)
Personally, I hate being stereotyped or pidgeon-holed.
If I like it, I wear it. Sometimes younger folks wear it, and sometimes its older folks.
Mum said she liked this outfit: https://www.daz3d.com/sexy-secretary-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s
... and has worn something in a similar vein into her fifties. (She had the figure for it.) My ex, would never have worn anything like it, but she didn't have the figure for it; so her not liking anything like it may have been due to that.
My advice, create a background for the character - if you're telling a story, that will tell you what you need; when telling a story, it can be surprising what characters do and decide on that isn't what we the story tellers expect.
Isn't it the truth? Sometimes characters say and do things that let you know that you may be telling the story but you're not the author.
I've thought about this topic. I'm 66 years old. I pretty much wear the same style of clothes that I did when I was 30, and weighed half as much as I do now!
OK, the clothes are bigger now!
I know what you mean, I'm wearing the same stuff I wore in school and I'm definately not a kid anymore. Can't be bothered with other than jeans and Tshirts to be honest.
But for my pics I want my gals to be classic looking. In this instance I want her to be the grandma that makes applepies in the morning, knits in the evening and reads stories to her grandkids at night. Really traditional.
I remember my youngest grandaughter being quite upset with me, when I visited when she was just 4 years old. I hadn't seen her since she was a babe, so she only knew me as a voice on the other end of a phone. She took one look at me when I walked in the door and then went upstairs and brought down the grandma from her dolls house set who wore a long skirt, pinny, sensible shoes and had grey hair in a bun. Not a teal green sweat suit, with purple graphic on the sweat top, trainers and long wavy red hair, pulled back into a tail with a scrunchy.
She did forgive me though, and after waving me off at the airport, next time she phoned she told me to go catch a plane and tell the driver to take me to Sarah's house.

A housedress. Haven't seen one of those in the store since the PC did their 1930s series (was that 2010? Around then I think. It was still gen4 era). Although the PC '50s stuff is in the same general line of country, just that it's separates rather than a dress.
Although, to be honest, a lot of the stuff that's in the store would work just fine if one could lengthen the skirt.
There are quite a few dresses I would have bought if the skirt wasn't so short; Beautiful work, would look really great, except the length of the skirt. I wish more dresses would give us options, like this dress, http://www.daz3d.com/uniform-dress-for-genesis-3-female-s, the Uniform Dress, (also available for G2F.) OOT did that with the Daily Casuals MEGA Wardrobe for G3M, too. I'd love to see more of that with clothes for either sex, but especially dresses for the ladies. The clothing becomes more versatile then, and easier for me to justify the cost.
