I like this idea too. I have one or two clothes here from when I was young and I will be delighted if I can get into any of them again.
I suppose it is because I am a bit of a control freak - but whenever hubby measures me - I always wonder whether he is being consistent with the taughtness of the tape-measure.
When I visit my parents in Newcastle next weekend - I am going to have a hunt around the house (they have lived in the same house since 1960) to see if I can find any more of my old clothes. I am the middle-aged woman that aspires to wear fashions from the 1970s and 1980s again. Unfortunately I will probably not be able to be seen in public in them - but it would be amazing to be able to get so that I can get into my old clothes.
