This is intentional.
Earlier she had a huge family to take care of and so couldn’t focus on herself enough affecting her weight. But she still dressed well because she was a woman in love, one who was happy in her home, life and marriage. Even if she wasn’t exactly fashionable or a diva, she tried to look her best for her husband.
Now she’s a heartbroken woman. There’s no family to look after but also no one she feels she has to dress up for, to look her best. The girls she works with are now her new found family and help keep her mind distracted but nothing is going to help heal her heart.
Her attire and her presentation is in sober colours now, nothing bright. The fabrics are also not silks that have a natural finish and shine to them irrespective of what kind of silk it is and what kind of saree and work is worn. Now it’s cotton and with no regard for what the saree looks like either. It’s a piece of clothing meant to be worn, but it’s not an outfit that she would want to put any consideration in.
After all, what’s the point? Her husband cheated on her despite everything. He assured her that her looks didn’t matter to him and praised her for being the wife, mom and woman she was, called her beautiful regardless of what she saw in her mirror or heard from others including their daughter. She still tried to look her best for him always. Even when he was angry and wanted her to wear something in black, she ensured that she was there for his big day; looking like he wanted her to look but in the end he did what he did regardless of everything.
Nothing could keep her from having a broken heart, then why bother now?
She spent her youth, beauty and life on the one person who broke her heart, not once but twice; so would her looks be her priority at all at this point?
