What to do with this suit?

You could consign it if you want to get SOME money. But likely, the amount they will be willing to give to you will be so small that it will feel like cheating you out of it. If I were in your shoes, I'd donate it to a local org for women getting out of the "system" (incarcerated/halfway houses/recovery/homelessness/etc.) who are in need of a nice suit for interviews/court appearances.

If you donate it to Goodwill, Housing Works, or any other not-for-profit, you can claim the replacement cost as a donation. A $500 donation isn't a bad thing to have come tax-time.

If you are anywhere near a http://www.buffaloexchange.com/index.php?pg=4, they might give you some cash for it if it is indeed a nice, modern suit. The aisles of Goodwill and Salvation Army are not "tattered". That's a little offensive, honestly. However, a better use for it might be to call your local community center and ask them if they are in need of suits for the people in the community. It's pretty common. I'm not sure if you could tailor it; 100lbs is a lot smaller.

My husband found an Armani coat at Goodwill and it really made his day. If you donate your nice suit it won't be out of place, and a person of larger size might be really, really grateful to be able to get such a nice garment at a bargain price.

Hey everybody, sorry if my question came off as a little offensive and classist. That wasn't my intention and I could have worded it better. I guess I was really looking for a charity that wouldn't just throw my suit in a pile with tube-tops and leg-warmers, and so far I'm excited about some of the suggestions! I'll give them a call tomorrow and then maybe I can get rid of this suit. Again, apologies and thanks!

Agree with Betty's Table: what you could get for it used will make you feel squished, because it won't be near the original cost. Giving it away will make you feel expansive and abundant. That said, I would encourage you to give it to somewhere that will give it to someone in need, rather than provide a cool bargain for a shopper. If your town has a mission, or any kind of place that helps the homeless and down-and-out -- which is probably every place these days -- please consider giving the suit to them. They hang on to nice clothes, and give them to individuals who are trying hard to pull themselves out of homelessness. Having a suit to wear to a job interview, even a temp job, is a tremendous boost.

Your nice, hardly-used suit would not be terribly out-of-place at any of the Goodwills where I have recently shopped. I've picked up immaculate Brooks Brothers shirts and a lot of other nice things there. Sometimes, they still have the tags on.

You can really only take tailored clothing in a maximum of three sizes (probably closer to two for a suit). There's a point at which you just lose the actual lines of the garment in the excess fabric.

You could consign it, obviously, if there's a men's business clothes consignment around where you live. We have one in our smallish city area. It's hard to find nice used clothes in plus sizes so it might either sell quickly because of that. Craigslist is another option. Otherwise, without knowing where you live, there is the http://www.menswearhouse.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentAttachmentView_-1_10601_10051__10709_10684_AbtNationalSuitDrive.html. Or you could look for a local program assisting people who are unemployed (with job interviews, training, and such) to see if they know where you could directly donate it within your community.
