has anyone had their clothes altered? Is it worth it or just better to buy new?

I have a great pair of work pants and I know Ive dropped a size and dont want to donate them.Of course I still try to wear them despite the fact I look like I am wearing clown pants

HI

I had a few skirts altered and really wasn't happy the way they layed on me afterwards. I wore them since I didnt want to buy new ones, but I am not sure how much they were worth it when you realize how much good alterations cost.

Great for you - that you went down a size!!!

Isn't that great? I have the same problem. I have a ton of clothes that don't fit me and I have sorted through them to give the ones I don't want to Goodwill and then I have a bag for my Aunt of good things and then there are clothes I can't seem to part with. I think I am giong to seriously consider having them altered. I have one dress that I paid almost $300 for and I'm planning on having it altered. I would just buy some new pants. You can get such good deals at TJMaxx, Marshalls, etc. I kept several pair in the back of my closet for YEARS and now I fit into them so its like having a new wardrobe. Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you decided to alter the pants and how they came out.

thanks for the responses, Ive already given so many clothes away to charity and now I am on my second round of new clothes. Acutally the pants in question were bought new in July. So I will just wait and see at this point
