Dear MichelleLea, Emma, Chrissy and Karen, Am a big believer in letting nothing go to waste. Every Spring and Fall, I do a deep clean, and I try on all my clothes. Anything that doesn't fit, I promptly give away. Don't wait to "grow into or out of" anything, anticipating a weight gain or loss, because by that time, there might be a stain or stains forming because of long'term storage. My mother taught me this, may God rest her soul. She really knew how to take care of her clothes. She used tissue sheets in between her better bras, panties and slips in her dresser drawers to keep the wrinkles out. She did this from when she was young to her old age, and did not slack off when she got married. My mother dressed beautifully, and made sure her husband (my father) did, too. One of my best memories was when they went square dancing, especially during the holidays. Wish I had pictures to prove it! About shoes - I recall my roommate had FIFTY pairs of shoes. I used only 12 inches of the closet (hanger and floor space), while she used the rest! Thank you for donating your unused clothing, as I do, too! Your friend, Monica
