Ha ha. I just measured some of my clothing. Plus, I knew that the aforesaid bloggers were close to my measurements, so I figured what worked for them would work for me. I did end up finding a good belt hanger from Bed Bath and Beyond. It is a wooden cylinder with four spokes on it, and you can hang the belts on the spokes. I don't have a lot of belts, so it works for me. If you had a lot, it might be annoying, because you'd have to take some belts off to get to others. It's ironic that you have much better luck in juniors' clothing than in petites', yet you liked the petite hangers. I have much better luck in petites' clothing than juniors', yet I liked the junior hangers. Gotta love inconsistency!

Interestingly, my belt hanger is a cheapo from BigLots a few years ago and is perfect even for skinny belts.  Haven't seen one since though :/ Gigi on "Smaller hangers" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smaller-hangers#post-1164923 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:38:26 +0000 Gigi 1164923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One of my splurges last year was for smaller hangers. Even the petite hangers are too large for me; I had to get something called juniors' hangers, which are 14". I found out about them through the blogs Alterations Needed and Extra Petite. Here are those bloggers' reviews of the hangers: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extrapetite.com/2013/07/garment-care-petite-hangers-and.html">http://www.extrapetite.com/201.....s-and.html</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.alterationsneeded.com/2013/01/petite-hangers-for-narrow-shouldered-wardrobes-a-giveaway.html">http://www.alterationsneeded.c.....giveaway.h</a> I'm so glad that I got mine. I just got regular hangers, not any for skirts. And I do recommend staying away from their belt hanger--I ordered one, and the prongs are huge. It's impossible to fit a skinny belt on there. I asked for a credit for the product because I believe that that info should have been noted on the web page. They didn't refund the price of the hanger, but they gave me a discount off what I paid for the regular hangers, which came out to be close to the price of the belt hanger.

I have hoarded all the plastic and wooden suit jacket hangers that have come with purchases over the years as they're a couple inches smaller than what is sold at Container Store and so on. I've also use the felt huggable hangers,   the ones that are just open-ended, not the ones with full shape for shirts + pants, because of the curvature of the hanger that is more gradual,  for some of my thinner or more deformable knit garments (which I hang) because the shoulders just flow over the curve and there's no sharp stop. rachylou on "Smaller hangers" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smaller-hangers#post-1164882 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 18:41:28 +0000 rachylou 1164882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, that's clever!
