Seemingly endless wardrobe... help!

[Miss Bea Rock]

i have worn my way through my "pin-up" clothing in a matter of ten shoots. my "regular" clothes are in limited supply because i work 50 hours a week in a very corporate, no-nonsense environment.

i can't possibly work my budget to buy four new outfits for every shoot i do. how do you ladies keep up after thirty or so sets without repeating??? are you shooting locations with wardrobe provided?? most of my shoots have been TFP, does this mean it's time for me to start charging photographers??? i literally could book every weekend until march shooting but i don't want to repeat clothes, and i can't order/ship fast enough to keep up with myself!!


i'm trying to avoid the routine of buying, wearing, and returning. is said habit completely uncouth or is that what you're all doing?

advice from active, frequently-shot models??

My enquiring mind wants to know too!
Besides shoots for designers/manufacturers, is it just a case of being wholly dedicated to living pinup 24/7?

Try modeling for designers who will have their clothes available for you to wear, even if you can't keep them, you will have photos with different clothes.

I've done some shoots-for-trade with clothing vendors. They get shots of their stuff on model, and I get a bigger wardrobe. But I do have an embarrassingly large collection (to "normal" people, not PL folks) of my own stuff to start with. YEARS of collecting!

yep, collecting is the only way to build your wardrobe!
