Is this up and going yet? When I did a search on clothes exchange this message is what came up.

I am a business professional and I wear business casual clothes or nicer to work. I have spent thousands of dollars on fashionable, comfortable, business clothes. My favorites are Vicky V. and Casual Corner (August Max). I don't have a lot of casual clothes, but I would like to eventually pass my very nice work clothes on to someone who is just passing through my size, or on to several people even.

I think women who wear business professional have huge obligation to look professional at work and doing so takes a good bit of money. I would really like to share my clothes when I no longer need them with someone who could use them and really doesn't have the extra cash to buy clothes.

I love the idea of a clothing swap.

There are also usually local charities that are helping women get on their feet after various setbacks, and plus-size business clothes are in high demand for them. My mom was telling me about one she's worked with, I need to get more details.

I think this is a cool idea too! I would be willing to help out if needed too. It's hard to justify spending money on clothes that you are hopefully only going to fit for a month or two!!

The first thing my husband said to me when I mentioned having this surgery...is "so you're going to have to buy all kinds of new clothes?"

I am thinking about going to an upscale resale shop to buy/sell my clothes until I get to my goal weight. But, I'm open to a swap as well.

Just a heads up! In the next 6 or so weeks there is going to be a site called sizexchange.com going live. SizeXchange is an online exchange web site, where subscribed members can use Xchange Points they have been allocated, earned or purchased to bid on exchange items – clothing. Once a subscriber loses weight, they can auction their larger sized clothing on the website for Xchange Points, and use the points to purchase smaller sizes that they will only wear for a short time, as they continue to lose weight. There will be a minimal monthly fee to use the site as a venue but once you are a member you can effectively exchange your no longer needed clothes for clothes in the size you need for free and you just pay the postage.

It has not launched yet but keep an eye out for it. I will also advise in this forum when it has launched. the url is http://www.sizexchange.com

I have a whole box ( giant box of 28-26-24) you say the word and its going your way!!

At the risk of sounding too spammy...I came on the idea as I read these forums and realised there is a need for a service that caters for dieters. For millions of us on the Quest to lose weight, the problem of finding clothing to wear during the transitionary downsize phase is a real one. For instance, i was a size 28 but I am currently a size 22 However, I aim to be a size 14, the in-between sizes are sizes I won’t be in for too long. and many of us (me included) do not want to pay full retail price for clothing we will only wear for a month or two.

Sizexchange will basically be a clothes swap but based on a points auction which will allow for swapping across sizes (ie not a size 22 for another size 22). It is all in development still there is some very complicated software customisations that need to be done as it will not be a traditional auction like ebay etc. But we should be up and running in the next 6 weeks or so.

In the meantime if anyone wants any further information or wants me to notify them personally when the site is launched you can always private message me!
