Im in need of clothes...

Darlene, I can't help.. I've lost over 80lbs and am still in 26's.. I havent really dropped a size yet.. *grrr*.. but Anyways.. do you have a Ross where you live? Its a store that sells clothing that are "last season" and things of the such.. they have lane bryant in there all the time.. Its REALLY cheap (I got a 80 dollar purse for 10bucks!) Anyways.. Good luck babe. Amy

We do have Ros here... Thanks, I'll give them a try.

Darlene, You should try your local upscale thrift stores. My local thrift store gets all of JCPenny and Target clothing with brand new tags still attached and resell them for 1.99-2.99 I just spent about 26.00 for some amazing things! I just sold all my outgrown clothes on ebay. I sold EVERYTHING! I now just take over Brytnee's closet. =) Trish

Hey there, I really enjoy reading all your postings and would be honored to help. I have two really nice pair of khakis, size 18 that I got last month from eBay and wore for about 10 seconds. Email me with your address and I'll put them in the mail tomorrow morning! PS - I'm 5-6 and they're a little long on me, but you certainly could hem them! I'll see if I have any other things I could send you -- you should have posted two weeks ago, I just gave a ton of clothes to a friend at work. Oh well..... SusieQ

Thank you!!!! You have mail!

Hi Darlene, I have a bunch of Lane Bryant tops that might work for you. I'm solidly into 18s now so I can't give away any of those! I'll check through my stuff tonight and will email you. Elizabeth

Thanks Elizabeth, if you have any 22/24 tops that would be awesome.

You have email.

don't know how dressy you need to be for work - I hit joanns fabric sales racks (and walmarts dollar rack) and bought fabric, hemed all 4 sides then turn down the top and run a ribbon though it and wear them as wrap around skirts. I have added some differnt colors of old navy perfect fit ts -(get round neck ones if you are conserned about modesty while shrinking ) or the walmart faded glory not free but pretty cheap that way. also check out your local freecycle.org and see what you can post as an offer and then post a wanted for womans clothes in your sizes. I have spent the most cash outlay on new undergarments and bras - now my mil is getting me one and momma is getting the other hugs and good luck danni

Isn't it great to have this problem for this reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so sick of not having anything to wear because it was too small. I think congratulations are in order, GOOD JOB! Hugs, Mary
