Just wondering if anyone ever has cloth swapping parties. I have lots 16's 14's and 12's I can give away clothes I bought and maybe wore twice. I could use some 10's myself. If anyone knows of any parties I would love to attend one.

Hi,  I attend a local support group in my area. every 3 months we have a potluck/clothes exchange. How ever many clothes you bring, you can take the same amount home. Gives us time to get to know each other in a less structured setting. Someone diffrent or 2 someones "hosts" the potluck at their home, a park, a community building, etc. Great fun for all.

You might post on your state board to find local clothes swaps.  Do you attend a local wls support group?  Do they want to do clothes swaps?  Hope you all the best in finding a source.

Best of luck in the clothes swapping. I have no other ideas except maybe run an ad in your local paper?

It's not fun but at some point you have to wear clothes your own size looks pretty sloppy going to work in a size 24 when your a 16 or 14 I don't sow very well so it was shopping I went. Lucky I have sisters to take the barely used clothes. I went shopping again my 14 and 12's are following off so need the 10's so I don't look slouchy at work. In a few months or weeks I will be giving them away too. I am going to try the thrift store now some people told me you can get good exchanges but some place only want certain items and styles so it is not the easiest solution but hey here is to health and new clothes!
