How to Store Your Fine Lingerie

You've taken the time and researched into what fine sexy lingerie would suit you and your desires the best, made your purchase and now you may be wondering how to best store your new intimate apparel.

The first thing you want to keep in mind is that, in general, the fabrics used to make fine sexy lingerie are more delicate than fabrics used to make other styles of clothing that you wear every day. The lace and lightweight sheer fabrics are more prone to snagging, so try to avoid sharp or abrasive objects while storing your fine lingerie.

All fine sexy lingerie that has any type of stretch fabric incorporated into the design should never be hung on a clothes hanger in the closet. Always store your intimate apparel neatly folded and flat in a dresser drawer or on a shelf away from dust and dirt. The exception to this would be any fine lingerie apparel that isn't made of stretch fabric, but since most intimate apparel is made of stretch lace, etc., you'll be storing most, if not all, of your fine sexy lingerie flat.

You may be wondering why it's so important to store your fine lingerie flat. The reason is because hanging any fine lingerie that is made from any kind of stretch fabric will lose shape and elasticity over time simply due to the weight of the garment. I've personally seen the results of this phenomena. I have a red dress that was given to me recently that has a regular lace skirt, but a stretch lace bodice and sleeves. Due to it being hung in a closet for several years, it can be clearly seen where the elastic in the lace has completely stretched out of shape and in a lot of cases has broken and frayed. The bodice and sleeves now have to be completely replaced to make the dress wearable. So keep your fine lingerie away from hangers and it will last for years and years.

One tip regarding storing your fine lingerie in a dresser drawer - don't overstuff it! At the least, your intimate apparel will get wrinkled, and your lingerie could suffer snags and such as you open and close the drawer.

I hope you find these tips regarding how to store your fine lingerie useful. Remember, treat your fine sexy lingerie with care and it will reward you with years and years of use.
