> I have to buy clothes made for fat people and just deal with the extra room in the midsection. You should honestly consider learning some basic tailoring. I'm starting it myself - I buy 'vintage' clothes from charity shops and most wouldn't fit. Buy a decent antique sewing machine if you want a cheap one. Its a sufficiently rare but useful skill to make good conversation too. And you can vastly increase the perceived value of your clothes by claiming they are hand tailored! ;) Here is a good forum to pick up knowledge: http://www.cutterandtailor.com/forum/index.php?showforum=26 http://www.cutterandtailor.com/forum/index.php?showforum=26
