Packing a Suitcase?

[highlander]

What is the best way, we are going to a wedding, so do i put his dress trousers on bottom, and what is the best way to pack a shirt?

Just throw the lot in and take a travel iron with you. Most creases will come out if you hang them on the bathroom door when taking a shower :lol:

I roll everything up when packing it leaves fewer creases believe it or not :lol: travel iron is a great thing though:lol:

Shirt inside of the jacket, as if it were on, then lay out jacket flat, folding at the bottom if necessay and crossing the arms over front.

put trousers in first(only bottom of legs) then jacket and shirt in together then flip the other half of the trousers in ..this stops the big crease in the middle of the trousers..but i would still pack the travel iron or better still chuck him in a kilt ..they dont seem to mind how they travel!!

If you're travelling by car, Highlander, put the freshly pressed wedding outfits in a "suitbag" and hang them up in the back of the car.

Failing that I'd go with Changi - throw the whole lot in a suitcase & get an iron at the other end - from the Hotel or the folk you're staying with. The time spent ironing clothes which are to be crushed by travelling is time wasted IMO.

There's usually a trouser press in most hotel rooms - just make sure hubby is not actually wearing the trousers when you put them in though....:D

Hanging a creased garment up in a steamy bathroom while you have a shower or bath works a treat.

I've also heard that rolling items in tissue paper stops creasing but I would not like to try out that suggestion on a wedding outfit or suit :eek:

Creases are very IN this season... well they are in my wardrobe anyway. :eek:

[dunderheed]

having been living out of a suitcase this week i would recomend rolling your trousers up. in point of fact most hotels today have irons you can borrow at reception

having just been away for a few days I find tissue paper or a towel :D then rolling helps keep the creases out. On the way back just throw it in the case!!
