This week’s American launch of a revolutionary website strives to solve age-old problems faced by dieters and parents. SizeXchange, based in Hanmer Springs, New Zealand, solves the problem body downsizers face of finding clothing to wear when they are on their way to reaching their goal dress size. It also solves the problem parent’s face of finding clothes that fit as their children constantly grow out of them. Founded by New Zealand-based Becky Siame and Sandi Corbishley, the website allows downsizers to purchase clothing that they will only wear for a short time, via a simple points system.
SizeXchange is an online exchange website, where subscribed members can Xchange their clothes using Xchange Points. A key element is that the exchange is cash free, that is, you earn points through sales and use those points for purchases. Once a subscriber loses weight, or reaches another dress size, they can list their no longer needed clothing on the SizeXchange website, via our unique count down pricing system. The points earned can then be used to purchase other sizes that they will only wear for a short time, as they continue to lose weight, or otherwise grow out of them. Read more...
