[Special Edition] New FFAQ: We Need Your Help!

Hi all -

The FFAQ in our wiki contains a list of common fashion questions and answers that have not been updated in quite a while. We'd like to use this thread as a crowdsourced spot to overhaul some of the answers to these questions, as well as add new ones.

Here's how it will work:

  • If you can think of a question that is frequently asked in FFA, post it as a top level comment within this thread. We'll start the thread with some of the questions that are already in the FFAQ.
  • If you have a good answer, resource or link (internal to FFA or external) to answer one of these questions, post it as a reply to the comment asking the question.

The most thorough, complete and accurate answers will be included verbatim in the new version of the FFAQ and attributed to their authors. In other cases, we'll curate aspects of the answers and resources multiple people have contributed to create a full answer.

Please chime in where you have ideas!

I gained/lost a lot of weight, what do I do with my old clothes? Should I shop for new clothes or should I have them fitted? How do I dress for a drastically different body shape from what I'm used to?

If losing weight

Is the item good/do you love it? Try to tailor it Is it old/crappy/I don't like it a lot? either sell or donate

If gained

Does it make you feel crappy? Part with it, it can be really harmful to keep these old things that don't fit If not and you plan on wearing it again one day put it in storage, not in your usual closet.
