Make a point to visit a few weeks after a change of season, a time when many people clean out their closets to make room for new clothes.</p>


	<p>2. Take a look at all styles that you fancy, and that look like they might fit. Previous owners may have had garments altered, so the size 12 may fit more like a size 10.</p>


	<p>3. Consider altering items that may not fit perfectly. Even with a nominal tailoring charge, you&#8217;re likely to come away with a great deal, especially on high-end designer items.</p>]]></summary><updated>2009-02-13T10:25:15-05:00</updated><published>2009-02-13T10:25:15-05:00</published><author><name>jodie mclaughlin</name></author><link href='http://www.ragstorichesresale.com/blogs/news/794682-tips-for-fashion-consignment-shopping' rel='alternate'/></entry></feed>
