I shop at second hand clothing stores so can replenish my wardrobe on a regular basis without breaking my bank account. I would go so far as to say I have a bit of a second hand clothing store addiction that I have now started to drag my friends into lol! I can usually find lots of clothes that fit and I feel happy when I look at myself in those fitting room mirrors. Happy shopping and well done on your results so far!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908497636189470286.post-48282986852744558002012-05-17T09:29:05.631+10:002012-05-17T09:29:05.631+10:00If you have a sewing machine (or a friend with one...If you have a sewing machine (or a friend with one)it is very easy to put darts in almost all clothing items. Or simply sew a new seam up the sides or back and trim the excess fabric.<br />Another tip is to buy some very wide strong elastic and sew this on the inside of your jeans/skirts at the back from one side to the other and catch at 3 or 4 four points along the back, this should hold the excess fabric in and look more like a gathered back. This would be good for those pants/skirts that don't have belt loops.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957696119266525856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908497636189470286.post-15503985180014101062012-05-17T08:06:41.590+10:002012-05-17T08:06:41.590+10:00You can buy those at spotlight and even at accesso...You can buy those at spotlight and even at accessory stores like grab. They are sold along side things like double sided fashion tape and gel pad for shoes. Buy a belt from some where like target, a good one is about $15. Get the widest one that will fit in your belt loops. I had to wear a belt for practical purposes for the first time since I was a child, the other day, I was so proud. You go girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908497636189470286.post-43124415677483100032012-05-16T22:24:37.184+10:002012-05-16T22:24:37.184+10:00My mum used to own a double ended clip and at the ...My mum used to own a double ended clip and at the back of your shirt/dress you could clip the material and pull it in at the waist. It was brilliant, but I have no idea where to buy one, perhaps a sewing shop (if they even exist anymore).Kath Bannanoreply@blogger.com
