Re: Using old clothes

We usually give old clothes that are still in wearable condition to the maid (back home). These days relatives don't want the regular ghar ke kapray. If the dress is really expensive and worn once or twice, then younger cousins might take it. But relatives don't want your used everyday wear.

Other way to utilize old clothes is to re-deisgn them so for example, lehngas can be turned into long, flowy dresses that are in these days. Or a fancy dupatta can be turned into a shirt that can be worn with black trousers and shawl, etc.

Clothes that are too worn out are usually thrown out or like Ali said, used for dusting furniture or mopping the floor.

Re: Using old clothes
