We live in a 55+ community on a golf course. One woman, who is very heavy, always wears a knee-length or above-the-knee skirt when golfing. She is actually the only woman here who does.Miss Manners: I was embarrassed to say why I couldn’t join their posh trip

She’s quite intellectual, but apparently oblivious or indifferent about her appearance. I don’t think she’s considered updating either her wardrobe or hairstyle since college, well over 15 years ago.The right time to give such advice is when your friend requests it, and the way to give it without losing her as a friend is tactfully.
