My daughter Jean hosts and attends clothing exchange parties in Seattle frequently. My dear friend Maggie is a thrifting specialist and when I told her about Jean’s parties, she thought it was a great idea and has decided to host one every year.
Invitations were sent out to our fashionista friends.
What a huge success! Maggie is a fashion expert and knows how to display and organize, she made it look like a unique boutique. There was plenty of wine and refreshments.
There was a designated area behind a cute curtain where ladies could try on clothes European-style (a shared fitting room). There was also a washroom for the bashful ladies who need privacy!
Three of my favourite items I got: party dress, cape and skirt.
What a fabulous time we all had!
I hope we’ve inspired you to host a clothing exchange party!
fashion with compassion 
What a fun event!

We had 15 ladies of all different sizes: small, medium, large and extra-large. It works well because some brought things that were too big or too small for themselves. Plus there was jewellery, scarves and accessories one size fits all. 🙂
Merry Christmas!

Aww what a fabulous idea hosting an exchange party. I am sure Jean has lots of fun going with her keen eye for fashion. Maggie did wonderful in creating a boutique in her home , I love the shoes and I see jewellery, scarves and purses in addition. A shared fitting room works well , but I know some Ladies are self conscious. I love the items you got , the party dress is gorgeous , the cape and skirt also dress up any outfit, great job Dear, Terri xo.

Everyone brought lots of clothes and things; everyone left with lots of “new” things. “Leftovers” got donated. 🙂
