Money Saving 2/4- Clothing

Students you need some clothing to survive in Melbourne. Clothing is expensive in Melbourne so here are some of my tips. 
At the Vic Market


1) Are you good at sewing and making your own clothes? You could make your own clothes. You just need some material and patterns from Lincraft for the project. Be nifty.

2) Usually over the weekend there are many clothing sales. You can find out about these on Weekend notes etc.

3) Wait til the mid season sales as big places like Myer and David Jones often have them and you can save up to 50%.

4) You could buy some basics (such as a T-shirt) and decorate that. Are you good at decorating things? Sequins and things cost about $2 at the $2 shop. Or you can buy them at Lincraft.

5) Learn how to mend clothes yourself. Mending at the tailor is very expensive. There are many classes and workshops that teach people how to mend stuff. You'd usually find out about these via Weekend notes.

6) Do a clothes swap. Clean out your wardrobe and anything you don't want you can swap it for something else. There are clothes swap parties every now and then. Usually it is free, especially if it is on campus.
