While the pink was a little too pink, I loved the style of the dress. I think an older lady could easily pull this off with the right figure, I'm thinking specifically of Ashley. They are only 3 years apart. While it's not appropriate for women in this age group to wear youthful, teenage-like clothes, they don't have to dress matronly either. I agree about the breast life, or at least a sturdier bra and I'm pretty sure she's already wearing spanx.
