So I bought a dress a month and a half ago and haven't worn it yet - a super cute strapless black and white print number. It was a smidge big when I bought it but they didn't have my size.

I have a wedding on Saturday, I pulled out the dress today and I was SWIMMING in it!! I actually took it to a taylor and not only did she take it in, she couldn't just take it in in the darting, she had to take both sides in! I had to pay extra because now she has to move the whole zipper but I seriously don't care!!

YAY!!! Do you guys get your favorite clothes altered as you lose or just buy all new ones?

    At 5' tall, I'm used to getting things altered all the time anyway. So, I have gotten some things taken in...as long as the item is not replaceable for the same value or is irreplaceable!

    Good Job!!!!!!!

    I haven't had to get altered any clothes(yet :wink: ), but i wore today pants that I bought 2 years ago!!!, they were on super sale and i bought them hoping to fit on them and that day was today!!!!! that is one out of 4 brand new pants that I started to think to donate a few months ago since my closet was to cluttered to have them. I felt super sexy today on them and ...:blushing: even got compliments...

    I recently had to get 3 suits tailored, cost me almost 140 bucks! but it was worth it.
    A guy's gotta stay classy!

    good luck and good job!
