I regulary outfit myself, hubby, and 8 yr old daughter in comfy, stylish clothing, all from the thrift store. Yes, you do have to be patient, but it also helps to have a few that you frequent regularly, and get to know the staff. At my favorite, the girls know I sew, and buy all my patterns there, so some mornings I'll get a call about new(ish) patterns that have been donated, or about fabrics that they know would appeal to me. I don't get deals on prices(any better than they already are, that is), but, I get a heads up that what I may want is there, and I can check it out before someone else snaps it up.
