Swap Virgins - read on!

If this is your first clothing swap, here are some tips.

1. Wear spandex, bike, or yoga clothes under your regular clothes so you can try things on without getting naked (there may be children and possibly neighbors may drop by).
2. Bring a sack to cart your new clothes home.
3. If you like, bring a similar-sized friend with you (RSVP them, too, if you can).
4. Bring any clean womens clothes (and petite or junior equivalents) in the size designated for your swap. You can also bring shoes, hats, gloves, jewelry, and other wearables.

At the designated time, we will put all the clothes in a pile on the floor. You then grab what looks good to you and put it in a pile behind you. When you feel you have a good stash, you try on what's in your pile. What you want, you put in your sack. What you don't want you throw back into the pile for someone else to try on.

We generally have 2-3 mirrors at each swap - and if you can bring a full-length mirror, please do! Depending on how many people attend, the swap may last anywhere from 20 minutes to 90 minutes.

Some women with small children have asked if they can bring them along. You know your children best - if they like to stay close by you and enjoy the color and pagentry of clothes, feel free to bring them along. Please remember, however, that the meeting area may not be child-proofed, so consider bringing something (like crayons or books) to engage small children.
