Large sizes are loose on me.  Why wear a belt? The belt is not holding the garment up (as on trousers and skirts). A belt on a dress or top can draw in the waist. I have to wear a belt to bring in the waist and look slimmer. The slimline ...

How To Buy From Refash  I came across a Refash an open top, walk in 'kiosk' (I can't think what else to call it) at Bishan. I bought two items, from well-known brands, Zalora and Love Bonita. That was not chance.  How to Buy From Rehash The Seller - Refash The seller is solely for second-hand clothes. They have 12 branches in Singapore.
