Ok, so I've finally lost enough weight that if I don't wear a belt, my pants could be pulled off quite easily. But, I am not small enough to buy the next size, nor do I have the money to sink into them to have them tailored to fit. So, has anyone any ideas to make my clothing more bearable until I can fit back into my old clothes again?
If anything, please vent with me.
Thank you.

Wear a belt?0

You can buy a mending kit for less than a dollar at most stores, including grocery stores (usually up by the register)! Tailor them yourself....fast, easy and cheap!0

I am wearing a lot of skirts and dresses. They seem to fit longer than pants do.0

ummm, wear a belt?0

I'm not a fan of wearing a belt especially with jeans that are too big. I was at that same stage not long ago i just dealt with it and was constantly hiking my jeans up.0

I'm in the same boat. My 24s are all too big now. 22s are better, but I can still take them off without undoing the fasteners. And I don't really want to buy new clothes until I absolutely have to. I sew, so I'll probably make myself a quick elastic-based belt -- stiff belts are awful on the still-squishy belly. No good tips for you, but commiseration!0

Take them in. Between my weight loss and an extremely teeny preschooler, I've become quite the pro at putting tucks in pants.0

These - they work better with some pants than others

Totally relate, have to wear a belt, don't like it, but better than them falling off me. Clothes I bought 3 weeks ago are starting to hang on me, which is a good thing, but I never feel like my clothes fit. Can't wait to hit goal. But, I prefer the clothes be too big, then having to buy a size up.
I also bought a couple of skirts, they seem to last longer between sizes.0 -

I still have to pull them up, even with a belt. I only need to lose a few more. Maybe a month to go?0

get some outlandish boxer shorts to have on "just in case" then tighten the belt... :bigsmile:0

I tried this... believe it or not, there are places where this is frowned upon.0 -
wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer on high or fold the top (part with the button) over to hike them up a bit0

The best idea! Thank you for making me smile today!
I think I've gotten some new options. Thank you for sharing so far!0 -
True story - I was working in my garage and my pants kept slipping down - I strapped on a bungee cord and kept working - LOL0

Goodwill or Salvation Army pants until you can fit into the others?0

that is a good idea, but i think my job would look upon me with a frown if i came in wearing a dress or a skirt.... i mean i am gonna wear a tiger skin print kilt for haloween, but other than that having pants that are almost big enough to stick a ruler between me and them lengthwise will have to do for now..... no money to buy smaller pants....0
