I have a few camis that are stashed in my jammies drawer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1269152 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:03:21 +0000 Anonymous 1269152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tanks that get worn year round as a base layer rather than on their own are rolled in a row in a drawer and are easy to access and keep neat. (since setting up the drawer several years ago, I've never had to redo it.). I line them up by color. The ones that are woven, mostly EF silk, get their own hanger in the closet. These are often worn on their own in summer and need to look pristine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1269130 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:48:53 +0000 Kristin at SouvenirFinder.com 1269130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm I roll mine and put in a drawer by color-- but I am intrigued by that Hickson hanger. Wonder if it's a pain though to get the tops on and off easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1263508 Wed, 28 May 2014 23:42:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 1263508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang mine on hangers &amp; the straps are fine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1263505 Wed, 28 May 2014 23:40:23 +0000 lyn* 1263505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the Rae trick - one hanger with multiple camis or tank tops!

I'd rather reserve hanging space for things that are not just underlayers, but you might wear tanks more than I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234117 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:56:56 +0000 rae 1234117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I'd constantly be knocking all the camis off the rack when I went to grab one. That's why I never bought a rack for myself. I currently hang all my camis on one hanger; the straps have not stretched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234111 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:49:59 +0000 Mo 1234111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, HiggsMisstress, I've seen that. &nbsp;I definitely put that under the 'fine in theory but pain in real life to just grab and go' category ;). &nbsp;I can barely navigate my tiered skirt rack lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234104 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:45:07 +0000 HiggsMistress 1234104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip using shower curtain rings for tank tops instead of scarves:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://storagegeek.tumblr.com/post/74060556343/clever-tank-top-storage-ive-seen-shower-curtain">http://storagegeek.tumblr.com/.....er-curtain</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234080 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 17:56:34 +0000 Debra 1234080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store mine in a hanging "shoe holder" long narrow fabric shelves that Velcro onto the hanging rod. I just roll them up and pop them in.<br /> It only takes up a little space and it is easy to access without having to move other tops :)<br /> I also store tights and socks in this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234075 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 17:33:31 +0000 Mo 1234075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would hang them by their straps, one strap on each side of the middle bar, so 6 tops on each hanger. &nbsp;Unfrumped I was worried about whether they would get caught up on each other, etc. &nbsp;<br />Today I just draped 3 each over the rod of a regular hanger for starters.&nbsp;<br />Hmm, must think on this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234072 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 17:22:57 +0000 unfrumped 1234072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried that and I think it can work but it got messy for me. I have some small 16x16" plastic drawers on a low shelf in my closet and I keep the workhorse neutral colors in one. I keep others folded on edge ( like file folders) in a bureau drawer. I've also used children's huggable hangers before because the slim hanger doesn't take up much space, the tanks don't slide off, and they don't mind being a bit smooshed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234070 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 17:17:51 +0000 Diana 1234070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you have to hang them by their straps though? I'd worry that the straps would stretch out too much (especially on camis). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tank-top-organization#post-1234068 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 17:09:59 +0000 Mo 1234068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone ever tried the tie racks or belt racks to hang tanks and camis? &nbsp;I'm tempted, since I don't think of them when they're tucked away in a drawer. &nbsp;Just wondering if this is one of those good ideas in theory, but a pain in practice to actually use. &nbsp;<br />I was thinking something like this: &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ON9HQ6/ref=pd_luc_bxgy_01_04_t_lh?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....#038;psc=1</a> </p>
