Anyone transitioning to a 26/28 top and 28 botttoms and can't afford to buy clothes???
I am cleaning out my closet and I have quite a few shirts (26/28), a pair or 4 of jeans and possibly some dressy of pants 26/28 or 3-4x. I haven't gone through those yet. . I'd really like them to go to someone who is going through transition and truly can't afford clothes during the transition. I know how it is because I can't afford the transition either and I've been charging up my credit card to be able to look semi decent.
Some of the clothes have some flaws, but I have a saying "if it ain't for free, it ain't for me" and it's a lot better than paying $20 a shirt for Lane Bryant's clearance items. All of the shirts are stretchy and can be worn as office attire or casual. They can fit various body shapes. They're all Lane Bryant brand by the way. Some of the pants are Catherine's, may be from Avenue and Lane Bryant. I still haven't gone through those. Oh, I believe some of the work pants will have stretchy tops.
So far I have about 10 shirts in the bag and I'm washing everything else to see what there is then I'm going through the closet. Oh, I'll also add that I tried my best to have a youthfull appearance since I bought these clothes while in my 20s (I'm 28 now.) Sometimes it didn't work since they don't really make young looking clothes in such large sizes.
Anyway, let me know and it'll just cost you shipping charges. (I'm THAT poor!!!) And please be someone is struggling to afford clothes and is these sizes now or will be VERY soon.
edit: about 7 elastic waist 28 and 3x office attire type pants, barely worn, just added from Catherines. Waiting to see what other shirts I find as I wash all the clothes.
Kind of sad. I feel like I wasted all of that money!!

Aww thanks. Such a bitter sweet moment for me. I'm so sad that I spent so much money on all of that stuff over the years and that I am having to spend so much money on temporary clothes (second time I'm buying pants already) but I'm happy that someone who can't afford things will get stuff they need. Even though the stuff is big on me, in some weird way I wi**** still fit and I was trying to figure out ways to pin them and MAKE them fit. I also was having the issue of saving them in case I gain that weight back. I just need to let them go...
Hi I have some great clothing in this size range too, I would be willing to send on to others and pay it forward, I just cleaned my closet since I am down to the 18 20 range now, with my first 50 lbs gone . Let me know I have dresses jackets skirts and pants blouses, mostly working girl clothes. Though I have some casual things too including a few cami's

i am disabled so if anyone have any extra clothes in the 26/28 they want to send i would gladly take them off your hands and when i lose some more i will pass them forward to someone else who may need them thanks so much:)
You know I had to pipe in here right??
I TOLD you'd get out of those darn 26s! You were JUST like me. I was going CRAZY and stuck in 26 forever. You'll fall through 24s pretty fast I bet. I think I skipped those pretty much. I was in 22/20 for forever. Right now I'm around 20/18 pants and.... I just posted on blog (go look for my hot photo!) and am now 12/14 tops! It'll happen.
Just had to come celebrate with you and say "I told you so!"
*snicker* I love you, truly. You remind me of myself. Just think, you'll get there too. Lookit you already! Almost 100 pounds in 4.5 months. Holy hell, woman! It took me 5 months! You're rocking this thing!
