Hope this helps :)))
I believe what your friend said may be a possibility, because I knew an older woman of 70 years who wore see through clothing that pressed her breasts onto a landscape worker's body in her front yard. Even though this poor lady had Alzheimer's, but older women in general still get sexually aroused even after menopause. Another possibility may be that the old lady you mentioned may not have cared if anyone saw her like that or it could also be like my grandma's case, in which she still thinks her body looks great dispite her muffin top, so she shows off in the same way. These are all the reasons I know for a fact.
