Do you know someone that could alter it for you??? That's what saved me a lot of $$$. My aunt altered about 12 of my tops for me after she saw that I was wearing clothes that were way too big, LOL Now that those are getting too big, I've got my mom's too-big clothes that can be handed down. After that it'll be Jersey's clothes that are too big for her now and then my mom's 2nd round of too-big clothes. LOL
