I get all my clothes at thrift stores. Mostly jeans and Tees.

With the Pandemic, I can't try on the jeans to see if they fit. A 12 can be any leg length, any waist width, etc.

So I've measured my existing jeans (leg length, inner seam, waist) and wrote down the numbers on an index card. Bringing the card and a tape measure with me to shop, I have successfully found perfect "new" used jeans. I measure each prospect's parts and either put it back or I buy it.

but just so you know, a "size six" can vary by quite a few inches too

2. I'm glad you do that.

My partner and I buy a lot of ours at thrift stores. We haven't really gone to many since this all started. Boy you have to be careful with what you get. I haven't always been careful and I end up with clothes that have broken zippers and other issues.

3. I used to go there to buy oversized men's t-shirts to

Lounge around in or sleep in. They were long enough to cover my butt and comfortably roomy, and were a cheap deal for only a couple of bucks.

4. That's pretty genius. I buy only that way as well & agree, sizing is nuts. I have 6-14
