Swishing

Hi, i'm not sure if i have posted this in the right place, so i apologise if i havent. but i was wondering if anyone had heard of a thing called swishing, and whether anyone had been to an event/held one?
a friend and i were thinking of doing it and wondered whether they work
thanks

    lmao! instead of wife swapping (swinging) its clothes swapping.

    I couldnt do it.
  • i love the idea of this, i think its brilliant. its like a swap shop party. i often buy vintage clothes from the shop near me, or from ebay.

    i bet you'd get loads of people turning up with some old piece of tat though?

    This seems a bit fishy to me! Two op's posting about designer clothes and one thread is removed for blatent spam, - Huge apologies if I'm mistaken.

    the two are totally different! the other poster spammed almost every thread on the site for a start.
    this is a legitimate website, where is there anything about designer clothes????

    Its just a pity that all the swishing parties are in London:rolleyes: This swishing thing isnt Spam but a genuine thing - it has even been featured on The One Show on BBC1
  • We do this about once a year at a friend's house and make a proper party night out of it. It has been discussed on the Old Style forum as a suggestion for a free/cheap night.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
