What to do with clothes that are in great condition but too small to wear comfortably?

I have a whole lot of nice shirts and pants that are too small. They are Aeropostale and other nice preppy brands. I need some ideas on what to do to make them wearable or where to get rid of them or just any ideas.What to do with clothes that are in great condition but too small to wear comfortably?
See if a re-sale shop will buy them off you or donate them to Goodwill.:)What to do with clothes that are in great condition but too small to wear comfortably?
donate them to goodwill, VA, VOA your local nursing home or have yardsale.
Donate them to a church, or good will store, unless you can hand them down to other family members....Good Luck and God Bless.........
Well, charity is always a good option, but if you're not the overly charitable type...





There's a store in my area called Crossroads Trading Company. Basically, you take your old (but good brands, good quality) clothes and sell them to the store. Then they re-sell em. So from their end, it's similar to a thrift store, but with nicer clothes, and you get some money back in your pocket.
If you want you can give them away to salvation army - or other charities like that.





But if you want to get money for them, you can sell them on ebay.





I've got like 3 big bags full of clothes, and i've finally gone through them and decided what i wanted to sell and what i wanted to give away to charities.





Dont listen to those people who called you selfish in this...


Its your clothes and you can do whatever you want with them.

YOU ARE SO SELFISH!


THERE ARE CHILDREN DYING IN AFRICA and u are thinking about ways to wear a shirt that doesnt even fit you!





GIVE IT AWAY GOSH DARN IT!
There's a book called 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt. That might give you some ideas. Also, google ';t-shirt surgery';. It would really help a lot if you have a sewing machine or know someone who does have one and knows how to use it. As far as pants go, try going to a jo-ann fabric store, or any fabric store you have around. Maybe bring the clothing with you, match the fabric as good as you can. Try to measure out how much you'd need to make the clothes wearable.





If you're going to get rid of them, you could probably give them to almost any donation center.
I give mine away:





Churches,


Good Will,


Call Senior Centres to see if they want them for their once per year sales,


Your own garage sell.
Take them to your local thrift store or maybe a homeless shelter. I don't know if you have a store that is consignment items wanted. usually they will pay you money for your gently used items. Hopefully this gave you some ideas.
* Consignment stores (clothing sold at discount prices %26amp; % of what is sold goes to store; you get rest -- or have to pay small fee to have item sold there --depends on store's rules.


* Put tables outside (like a rummage) %26amp; set outside visiting with passerbys (%26amp; meet more neighbors) - - make super cheap, rummage prices or free. - - that can be fun.


* Put clothes in clear bag on your curb with 'free' on it.


* Donate to churches, safe houses such as Domestic Abuse shelters, Goodwill/Salvation Army.


* Do a variety of the ideas.
Don't be afraid to bless someone with them. What you make happen for someone else God will make happen for you.
Either find someone that you know that's the size of the clothes you have and can't wear or donate them to someone you don't know that maybe couldn't afford the more expensive clothes.


You can also sell them on Ebay or another auction site.
