Re: Calling all ignored women!
Hi Amal. There is nothing wrong with a bit of research-I used to supervise undergrads myself.Two comments-why only address ladies? Males are also involved in fashion as well and some comments are a bit more helpful than just saying No when asked `does my bum look big in this`
The more important point though is to look at the market now-high street sales to the 50+ age group are rocketing. So women are no longer `being ignored`. Q-why is that?? My advice-just change the focus-when did the trend change and why??
People here know me for better or worse and some times I do talk sense.

Re: Calling all ignored women!
I think from the comments some of which had me in stitches Amalrealises now that the over 50's/60's still have a sense of humour and
wont be knocked down by whatever is thrown at them. Well done ladies
and the few men who came on here.
I keep getting asked at my local branded clothes shop if I want their magazine, my answer is always the same. No I cant read. That leaves
them confused.
