How far can I go with alterations on dress pants?
I'm down 2 sizes, about to go into a 3rd size and the new dress pants I bought only a few months ago aren't fitting right anymore. I'm wearing belts with them but they're bunching in the wrong places.
On some, I need them taken in in the thighs, butt, and waist. Others are just the waist so far.
How big of a difference do you think is too big? Should I just give them to charity and buy new stuff?

The alterations may cost more than buying new pants. Congrats on your weight loss.

I've always heard 2 sizes is the max you can go in before most clothes just lose their original shape/look.
You lost a ton of weight- treat yourself to something new! You deserve it!

Thanks ladies, I appreciate it. At least I have some old stuff in the size I'm going into that will fit again. I do have gift cards to some stores, so I guess I'll just have to clear my conscience and go do it.

I have the same problem these days. I would agree after 2 sizes they start to look awkward. I have been wearing lots of skirts and dresses and only recently started adding pants. I am done losing so hopefully my size will just stay the same no. Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Congrats to you too! I do find myself crawling around on the floor at work pretty often (I work with computers) so skirts and dresses aren't really possible for me. 
Shopping spree here I come!

alterations can get to be pretty pricey, if I were you I would treat myself to new pants to celebrate the weight loss.
