Need some frame suggestions

**becc971** · 07-19-2012, 01:35 PM

I am in need of some suggestions for an older lady who wants some of the "windshield" glasses. i'm talking 54 -58 eye with a huuuuuge B measurement (48 ish?) any and all suggestions welcome!!! her current frame is about 1 million years old, and she doesn't really want to hear that its not the style anymore ... she called some sophia's i had her try on small and the B on those was 35, EEK!! SAVE ME!!!

She might be referring to Sophia Loren, when she called some sophia's.

Try some of the most recent Versace and or Monica Schnarre frames.

i will probably sell her these if i have to, but i would like to get something that is actually current, fairly sure our company bought this back in the 80's

She came to see me at closing time today. Try a London Fog LE-807.

Tura has a biggie-sized zyl in the front of their catalogue that they've had forever.

Clearvision has a new zyl called 'patricia' I believe. It is huge and everyone laughed at me when I bought it, but we sold it in Sally Jessy red

Do you have any 6 base sun frames that have a slender temple that maybe are not too outlandish in color...unless she likes that....do I dare ask what her RX is?

Versace has a frame(current) that is insanely identical to this one..............except for color(s). Just sayin'.

Yup, Tura 311 comes in lots of colors and huge sizes.

Judy - these are great (not just the size) and they remind me of what I wore in the 70s & 80s - PLUS - Made In The USA?? Gotta have them!

RX isn't too awful, +1.75 with a -2.00 cyl OU ... when she told me what she wanted i was thinking "oh god and i bet shes a +8 or something" *phew*

Tray a unisex like a Seiko maybe?

Are you looking for zyl or metal? I have a relative who has worn this style in zyl for years and will not wear anything else. I have a selection of new 80's and 90's metals by Viva (Catherine Deneuve,etc.) Also some zyls from the same era. PM me for details.
