Weight-loss drug users turn to cobblers and tailors as their sizes change

Reuters reports that some US consumers taking weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are altering clothes and accessories instead of replacing them as their sizes change. Repairers describe more requests to shorten belts and adjust shoes and bag straps. Reuters says a cost-of-living squeeze and rising out-of-pocket drug costs are part of the picture, while thrift shops and discount retailers are also benefiting.
