Anybody in the market for a new set of clothes should head over to www.clothesoffourbacks.org to pick up some hand-me-downs from the stars.
The Isabella Oliver Celebrity Maternity Fashion Auction has just kicked off to bring a little style and panache to the wardrobes of pregnant women. Bidders have the chance to own the heather grey Isabella Oliver Kimono Top signed by singer Gwen Stefani, the sea colored Isabella Oliver Portrait Top and Isabella Oliver jeans donated from the set of the upcoming feature film Labor Pains starring Lindsay Lohan, the oyster colored Isabella Oliver Funnel Neck Jacket worn by Teri Hatcher on Desperate Housewives, a cranberry/sand Isabella Oliver Duo Sleeveless Wrap Dress donated by Minnie Driver, a grey Isabella Oliver Cut Away Ruched T signed by television host Samantha Harris, an Isabella Oliver Cap Wrap Around Top signed by television host Nancy O’Dell, a green Isabella Oliver Cut Away Wrap Top donated by actress Jeri Ryan, and clothes from Lisa Marie Presley, Melissa Joan Hart, and many more.
Also up for auction on the site is the black Donna Karan Collection gown that Rachael Ray wore to the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards and Barbara Walter’s black Chanel handbag.
Bidders must be quick – the Maternity Fashion auction ends on August 27 and the other items must go out the door by August 29.
All of the proceeds from the auctions will be donated to Clothes Off Our Back’ selected charities, which include America’s Second Harvest, The Art of Elysium, Hope North, and H.E.L.P. Malawi.

Thank you for the information. Hopefully, this auction becomes successful because it’s for a good cause. In addition, these Hand-me-downs are clothes that someone in your family used to wear, that are now passed down to someone else to wear. Now there is a web service that has hand-me-downs called handmedowns.com. The recession has seen a rise in the amount of second-hand shopping people do, so it's not a big surprise that handmedowns.com has been booming, as they sell those clothing items that kids don't wear for long – baby clothes. Kid's clothing can send parents out for payday loans to buy the next size of clothing every few months. (They outgrow those disgusting sailor's outfits quickly, which aren't cute.) Prices are very reasonable, and they even occasionally auction off celebrities' baby gear. You won't need payday loans for baby clothing through handmedowns.com.
