What to do with too-big clothes?

[JennaJ221 2]

I had this problem in the beginning too after my 1st big weight loss. I had a yard sale..clothes always sell so well at yard sales lol. But I took the profits and donated them to my local animal shelter. I made about $700..with the proceeds and setting up a donation jar. Charity yard sales might be a option once it starts gettin cooler out..u get to pick the charity of ur choice. It was a wonderful feeling going down to the shelter and handing them my proceeds :rolleyes2: I also sell a few things here and there on ebay if they're clothes I only wore a couple times..sometimes I only get to wear something once or twice before its baggy after spoending $30-50. Just some ideas..I'm sure u'll find something to do with them.

I'll be taking anything that can qualify to a new plus sized consignment shop that's opening here in town in a few days (the shop's owned by a friend, so it's going to help both of us! :w00t:).

A few things will be going to a friend who's had bypass surgery and will probably stay about one size behind me along my way... She's at her 1-year anniversary so her loss has slowed some, and she's much taller than I am.

The rest I'll donate to Safe Place (a women's shelter).

When I lost 100+ a few years ago, I sold a TON of clothes on Ebay, but it was a lot of work to do. I'll probably make less money with the consignment process, but it will be way easier. I wish I'd waited to sell that stuff back then -- who knew all that weight was going to come back, and bring some friends?!? I had to buy all new fat clothes as the weight came back. Ah well, at least I kept the smaller clothes so I don't have to shop again on the way back down this time! :rolleyes2:

Many ladies (I haven't seen the men do it) swap clothes or pass on clothes through the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants (or something like that) through the blogging community.

Often times, someone will post on their blog what size clothes they have along with photos of the clothes, and people who read their blog will comment saying what itmes they want. The blogger then packs it up and ships it off.

There is usually no charge for this. It's done with the assumption that the next person will pass along items as well.

There is some cost involved with this, but, if you give as well as receive, it should all even out in the end.

I'm planning on giving most of mine to Goodwill. I will keep a few of my favorite pieces in order to make a quilt.
