clothes swopping party

I once went to a clothes swopping party at a friend's home. We all had to bring a bottle of wine and clothes that we no longer wore or, worse, could no longer fit into. The clothes were put into a huge pile and then we could pick and choose those items we liked. It turned out to be a great girls' evening out and we all went home with new outfits that we didn't have to pay a cent for. Have anyone of you girls done something similar?

That sounds really fun. :) I would love to do something like that one day. But with male clothing. xD Saving money is a big plus, though you'd have to have friends that are similar in body type than you and such or else it'll be really awkward. ^^; I can see the appeal to doing something like this though. :') Another flaw I see is if you don't have the same fashion taste as your friend does. xD But I suppose you can do more with clothes than just wearing them. :) I've seen people do really neat stuff with old clothes they don't wear anymore, using them as scrap fabric or something of the sort. x3

A clothes swopping party is an excellent idea! It's a great way to chill out with friends and at the same time, come home with something new to wear. I would want to try this out here.

This sounds productive. Maybe I could try this one out here. It'll be a all gender party and it will be clothes for females while it will be something else for males. I'll maybe come up with something better, but this idea is great.

I think that something like this can be a really good idea, because it means that you can get some new clothes without actually having to pay anything for them which is always a good thing. Especially given the fact that there aren't all that many people in the world with money to spare at the moment, the fact that you can get some new things for free is great and is something that more people should be taking advantage of. I have lost a lot of weight recently, so I am now the same size as a lot of my friends, which is great because it is something that I never thought would happen.
