Thanks — I reached for the wrong word.

I think the word you want is “frippery,” hun. That might have just been a typo.

@James. I’d budget a couple of hundred dollars (perhaps less) and get myself and my best constructed/most generally wearable clothes to a tailor. This both “recycles” the cloth and provides non-sweatshop employment in an environment you can observe personally.

Plus, most men ought to have clothes fitted anyway and don’t weight-loss or not.

But perhaps you’re getting frayed and faded like me, in which case keep reading.

I am very much in the same boat. Lost enough weight that my formal clothes don’t fit and heading for an east coast internship where I feel like I will need to upgrade my wardrobe on a debt-riddled seminarian budget. I’ll look forward to seeing anything you find. I should have bought a custom suit when I was in Transylvania.
