What did you do with your clothes once too big?



Recommended Posts

I have always loved clothes and had/still have so much. I gave alot to Goodwill b/c it is good cause plus I got 6 reciepts for my 2008 taxes last year. I gave my mom a few things as well as a cousin. I had clothes from size 30/32-22/24 and 5x-3X that I gave away. For some reason, still holding on to the 20's but I am now wearing 16's & 18's and 1x and XL's.

I have swapped and passed down my larger sizes to others in my support group but the best thing besides donate them to Goodwill is to take them to a Plus Size Consignment shop. They are wonderful to deal with and they really need 3-4-5x and whatever sizes because as others said, its a great opportunity for those plus sized on limited budget to get some nice things and you get money to spend on smaller things you want or can cash out and go somewhere else. Google for Plus Size Consignment in your area.

Consider contacting a battered women's shelter. Many of these women come in with the clothes on their backs (along with their children). They have no job, etc. They need clothes like you're describing to go out job hunting. A women's shelter I give things to is ALWAYS looking for nice clothes for this purpose.

I donate mine directly to a person in need. The Lord has always blessed this and refilled my closet with awesome clothes that fit me at virtually no cost.

I think when you donate direct, that person feels exceptionally blessed as well.
