    These are all great ideas seeing as none of my clothes fit anymore!

    i had to put safety pins in the dressy tank top i am wearing today. i got to work and realized it is too big and keeps falling down, showing off too much cleavage for work :)

    Buy dresses! You get more wear out of them before they fall off! ;)

    I also use my belly band from pregnancy to keep pants up, but my pants are now almost too loose for that to work. I have also tried the binder clip idea and it didn't work at all!

    Last time I did that it cost me $60 to take in a $26 pair of pants...That's what you get when there is ONE sewing shop in a decent size town.

    It isn't to weird, but it's one of the only As Seen On Tv products I've bought

    You can but the button where ever to make your pants fit, I've used it to keep pants that are an extra size or two bigger before I give them away. Get as much use out of the pants as I can.
    QFT.
    I love these.

    Fortuntaly (or unfortunatly, depending on on how you want to look at it), my hips keep my too-big pants from falling off. :)

    Only used belts for pants so far.. but I have a really pretty cami that is much too big even with the adjustable straps at their shortest, so I put a paper clip on them to turn it into a racerback. It's perfect!

    Turn a garment inside out, put it on, and with the help of a friend, put safety pins that leave enough space in the garment for your comfort. Run a sowing machine along the line of pins et voilà, a cheap tailoring job.

    Of course, I would prefer not to wear clothes that did not fit. So I might've just bought new pants.

    Hahaha I totally used a binder clip on a pair of shorts when I was bartendng one night. Needless to say, it didn't stay too well and my shorts were about 3 sizes too large and I almost gave a few people sitting around the bar a good show.

    I had the opposite problem when I was pregnant! I was so small that maternity clothes didn't fit until about month 8!
    I had to loop ponytail holders through my button holes, put saftey pins to move hook closures and such

    ponytail elastics and staples are a girls best friend. I have also "cheat" tailored...using one or two stitches where there should be many more. It works for the quick fix.

    I have used paperclips and also stapled hems or used tape when they came out while I was at work but I think the oddest thing I used, on my son, was a zip tie. I forget exactly why I did that but I did.

    I just get out the sewing maching and take up the sides of the pants. I've done that twice on some of mine.

    Now my new ones are starting to sag around thigh/crotch area :bigsmile: I'm not complaining....even if the scale says nothing has changed, my dang clothes show that things ARE changing!!

    Use my sewing machine and safety pins mostly. HOWEVER when gaining (eg while pregnant or refusing to give up pants I out grew) I would loop a hair band through the button hole to use as a button hole extender. Used those for up to 2 holes on button fly levis.
