What did you do with your clothes once too big?

Donate? Sell on eBay? Garage sale? Other?

I have a professional position so I do have a lot of really nice clothing - a whole range of sizes. :frown:

I'm not hip on garage sales or eBay. I suppose I could donate it.

It's just that I know how hard it is to find nice stuff in larger sizes and I sort of wish I could help someone out. Maybe give it directly to a person in need - someone entering the workforce or something - rather than drop it off at the GoodWill truck.

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.
