Yes, especially young people. It builds self confidence and self esteem. At a wedding I was at, I saw one of the couple’s siblings who was a little overweight, brooding in the corner. She was a teenager and not quite comfortable in her gown. I walked over to her and told her how lovely she looked and asked if she had the gown custom made for her. Instantly she brightened up. Her chin came up and her shoulders went back. Her eyes started to sparkle as she told me how she got the gown. When we were done she ran over to her mother to tell her about our conversation. She was very animated. She didn’t know me and I didn’t know her but it made her feel good and she felt a little more confident the rest of the evening.
