Clothing Exchange... challenge
I'm not talking about a contest kind of challenge. :P
The challenge I see is that folks needing smaller clothes usually need to get rid of larger clothes. That being the case, we can't "trade" so to speak.
For example: I've got a bunch of size 16 or 18 fitting shirts, a few pairs of pants. I need size 14. If I give my clothes to someone who needs the 16 and 18 sizes, she obviously can't give me any size 14s as she's not in that size yet.
I'm perfectly willing to give up my old clothes to someone who I know will use them without worrying about a "trade". Anyone else have any ideas?

This seems like it would work okay to me as long as everyone is fairly giving and taking. For example everytime you take you should also give. This is a common idea on Freecycle.com where they ask that for every two wanted ads (since they don't always get answered) you should post at least one offer.

The idea is not necessarily to "trade" or "swap" with the same person, this is only to post what you no longer need or wear and collectively exchange as a community. But believe it or not I have some size 10's, 12's, 8's and a few smaller than that. I've just not been able to find where my DH put our digitial camera to take pics of anything.
