The website Shop Your Shape (shopyourshape.com) has a free body-shape calculator. You enter your measurements and it tells you what cuts look best on your body type. It's made thrift store shopping a LOT easier (not to mention faster) since both Hubby and I know what to look for. M.K.

My policy is always "let someone else pay the retail." I love the treasure hunt. I just keep in my mind any "reasons" why clothing might be at a thrift store, the most influential for me would be the care of the item. If it's "not easy care, leave it there."

Don't get me wrong, I am a bigger girl (I like to say sturdy) and a lot of women's clothing just doesn't fit me right.

Pretty much my whole wardrobe is from thrift store shopping...I easily find tops, jeans, cords...and pants/tops for my 9 year old.

All my clothes are either homemade, or second hand, and I love it! When I bought new, and washed them, too many times they shrunk, broke a seam, or just didn't hold their shape. But, like you, my size is odd. I just haunt the thrift stores until my wardrobe is filled out.

Mostly Value Village (a chain thrift store). Pretty much the only thing I don't buy there is underwear and socks.<br />We also buy household items there as well.Erika McConnellnoreply@blogger.com
