APP – DRESS SIZE CHART (£1.49)…

With this app you put your waist, bust and hip measurements into this app and it will tell you what size you are in different shops, for tops, skirts, and dresses. An excellent app for when ordering online.

If your struggling to find or for that matter can’t afford to buy a new dress for that Christmas party, then why not alter one of your old ones instead.

For inspiration and help on ‘how to’ change your outfit head to this website – http://tatertotsandjello.com/2010/03/20-minute-spring-sweater-redo.html

It’s a brilliant website with ideas on how to change your clothes.

If you haven’t heard of the M&S Shwopping scheme then read this article.

M&S launched a shwopping unwanted clothes scheme with Oxfam with recycling bins – or Shwop Drops, which are in all M&S stores across the UK (except Simply Food ones).

You simply deposit your unwanted clothes (M&S and non-M&S) into the bins.

The target is for M&S to recycle as many clothes as it sells which is around 300 million items a year.

One million tonnes of clothes are thrown away in the UK each year and about half of these end up in landfill but none of the donations you give will go into landfill, instead good used clothing will be sold via Oxfam. Even ones that are not suitable to sell will be recycled.
