CLOTHES swapping could be the ideal way for women to create new wardrobes without the expense of shopping.
Swap Style is thought to be Ipswich's first clothes swapping and style event aimed at anyone wishing for a complete makeover to perk themselves up during the recession.
As well as the clothes swap there will be professional advice given on hair, make-up, skin care, massage therapy, fitness and styling.
Women of all ages have been invited to bring along a maximum of five items of clothing or accessories they no longer want - anything from Prada to Primark, as long as they are clean and in good condition.
Swappers will be encouraged to pick out five items each for free. Any remaining garments will be donated to the charity Mind, in St Matthew's Street, Ipswich.
Organiser of the event Shereen Barrett, said: “I just love clothes and fashion. My wardrobe is jam-packed, and although I give some to charity my friends are always asking me if they can have this and that.
