I fold them in half lengthwise and drape them over the horizontal part of the hanger. Is there a better way of dealing with knits that are hung? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140482 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:04:08 +0000 Maya 140482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cut them too. Knits shouldn't be hung anyway so I just fold them in half and drape them on the hanger, and wovens seem to do just fine without those annoying bits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140465 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 15:02:24 +0000 Angie 140465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snip, snip, snip and snip again. I am sort of scissor-happy when it comes to fringe and hanger loops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140440 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 12:16:53 +0000 Queen Mum 140440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cut them off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140434 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:20:40 +0000 Kristen 140434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have really nice wooden hangers from my F&amp;T days so my clothes hang very well without the straps. I've started snipping them all off because they're just too annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140418 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:06:49 +0000 Louise 140418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always snip them off as i never use them for hanging x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140407 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:07:33 +0000 RoseandJoan 140407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same a Khris, if they wiggle through the armhole they are snipped, otherwise I just leave them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140387 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 05:39:36 +0000 chewyspaghetti 140387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are done in a way that shows when wearing, I cut them off. If not, I use them for hanging. They keep knits from stretching out, and wovens from slipping off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hanger-straps-on-dresses#post-140375 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 04:16:00 +0000 cciele 140375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty clueless as to what to do with those straps (sometimes clear, sometimes not) that come with clothes. I think they are called hanger straps.</p> <p>Anyhow, do you cut them off or use them to hang your clothes? My YLF Nine West dress has two clear ones on the shoulders and two black ones at the armpits; what do I do with those? </p>
