*sigh* I certainly don't envy you in this situation...
I agree with both CT4 and Cream so far. Teenagers are so vulnerable and have such low self-esteem that you have to tread lightly. My advice to you is to make sure she doesn't think that there is a conspiracy going on and that people (i.e. the powers that be or her friends) are talking about her behind her back. You definitely don't want her to know that her style of dress has become a topic of discussion. I think that would devastate her more than anything. Like CT4 said, come to her like you're just her girl and while you already think she's fly, you just want to help her be the flyest (I know that's not a word) that she can be.
I've been in your shoes before (with a family member) and I chose to do nothing when I know I should have stepped in. Any help/advice you can offer this young lady will be immeasurable in the future.
