Los Angeles area Clothing Swaps?

Are there any local clothing swaps events in LA for people who are losing weight? I once did a clothing swap even with normal weight people and it was a lot of fun to see it even though nothing really fit me. Lots of good clothing got recycled.

Please help out this relative newbie to the boards. (FWIW, I am already aware of the clothing swap board here on OH -- I am specifically looking for something local where women meet in person to swap clothes).

Thanks!

It's not a "formal" clothing swap but every month when we meet up for Long Beach coffee the ladies will bring clothes that don't fit anymore.  What size are you looking for?

Hi Ms Shell!

So excited to get your reply and learn that there is indeed something going on, even if it is informal!

I am just starting to fit into "regular" clothes (as opposed to "women's" sizes) so I can fit into a XL or sometimes a Large. Kinda looking in the 16-18 range. (I've found it really depends on the label as to what I can fit into).

As far as what I have to swap, I have a lot of items that are 20s, 22s, and 1x, 2x and 3x. A lot of it is nice clothing that could be worn on the job in a professional setting. I'd love to see someone in need get these clothes.

When does the Long Beach coffee meeting generally take place?

Thanks!

You know I'd love to be the beneficiary of the work clothes.  I'm actually holding off on moving to 20's because ALL I have our jeans and that's a no no and I detest shopping, lol.

Our LB coffee takes place on the LAST Saturday of the month so that's the 27th this time around and there is usually a post that week off by Jean L.

Hope to see you there...

Edited:  We're usually there from about 10:00 to 1:00...
