I can do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071519 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 16:09:38 +0000 Marilyn 2071519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Hanger hack</b> to create a rounded, foam surface.........You can use a skinny pool noodle or buy a piece of pipe insulation at Home Depot/Lowe's. Cut to size and slip it on. &nbsp; If using an enclosed hanger, split it up the length to insert over the bar (pipe insulation is already split to fit over pipes).&nbsp; You could also use an empty paper towel roll in a pinch.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071309 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 17:16:28 +0000 styled 2071309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that is the dress.&nbsp; I got the charcoal. I was able to get it for $84 with one of their sales. I agree that it's best to hang it from the waist rather than the shoulders. I found a pants hanger on The Container Store after my post and decided to try it instead because the bar looked fatter although it's not foam coated.&nbsp; Reviews said no creases. So I canceled Amazon's order.&nbsp; I'll try the container store when it finally comes and can use it for other things in our closet if it doesn't work. Angie, I heard that somewhere that the modesty look in dresses was somewhat in style again so the dress does have that style. I guess there's a way to reply individually to comments but decided to do it this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071306 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 16:28:48 +0000 Keturah 2071306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a beautiful dress! I knit and wear a lot of knitted items. With the pleating, I like Angie’s suggestion to fold it over a padded hanger at the waist. Even though it contains nylon, hanging it from the shoulders is a fair amount of weight to place on the shoulders. (I’m a big believer and practicer of storing most woolen knitwear flat, and occasionally folded in half over a hanger.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071302 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 16:01:39 +0000 Angie 2071302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And fun '70s inspired dress!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071301 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 16:01:20 +0000 Angie 2071301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this it?</p> <p>I hope the new hangers you've ordered will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071300 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:59:55 +0000 Bonnie 2071300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hoping that the hangers you ordered will work for you. I've added the Find for a dress that may be the one you ordered. It's beautiful. Did you get the blue or the charcoal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071299 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:45:26 +0000 styled 2071299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a set of the "Absolutely Perfect open end trouser hangers". They are non-slip and foam coated.&nbsp; I hope they will be softer than the few we have.&nbsp; Review said no creases.&nbsp; Maybe this will work,&nbsp; Thank you very much for your suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071297 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:22:46 +0000 styled 2071297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has a thick waist band but does fold over an L shaped pants hanger. The hanger is not padded but I"ll look on amazon to see if they have some.&nbsp; It also fits onto a flocked hanger with a bar that pants can hang on.&nbsp; Both hangers in the past have left marks that have to be steamed out before wearing. I don't think those types of hangers come more padded.&nbsp; It is important to fold the sleeves up too.&nbsp; With the first hanger, I think it could fall off if it got jostled in the closet.&nbsp; I'll have to look to see now if there are padded pant hangers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071290 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 14:56:31 +0000 Angie 2071290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you fold it over a hanger, instead? Like a pair of pants, and fold the sleeves up too. That's what I would do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sweater-dress-closet-storage#post-2071288 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 14:53:06 +0000 styled 2071288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased jcrew's "belted midi sweater dress with pleated skirt".&nbsp; It's wool and nylon.&nbsp; What is the best way to store it in the closet? If you google it you can see what it looks like.</p> <p>&nbsp;I chatted with them and they think it is fine to hang it on a padded hanger as normal.&nbsp; Right now I have it on one of my uline foam hangers that you posted about once.&nbsp; Hanging does seem best for the pleated skirt. I thought I would take it off the hanger and put it in a plastic sweater box when the weather gets warm again.&nbsp; Just wanted to check with you about it. Thank you. </p>
