I love her to death, but she says when I try to dress her I put in her in "teeny bopper" clothes. I'm taking her out shopping next weekend, so what should I buy her that will help accentuate her beauty as a thicker lady in her fifties?

No offense, but your dad sounds like a butthead. "Come to terms" with her? Yeah, ok. I'm sure he's no prize, either. He should love her just the way she is, not struggle to come to terms with it. TBH, I'm sure it hurts her feelings that both her husband and her daughter are putting so much emphasis on her looks...Has she not been a great wife and mom?
My advice? Leave your mom alone. She's in her 50's. She carried you for 9 months, took care of you for 18, and your dad for God knows how many years. He should appreciate her just the way she is.
