I set aside a wide space in my walk-in closet to hang my three petties... But most people don't have walk-in closets, and when I move, I will no longer have the luxury either. I will be interested to see what people have to say about petti storage tips...

I'd say hang em, my favorite costume shop has tons and tons of petticoats hanging from the ceiling, looks like a big cloud of cotton candy ^-^ I can't help but wonder how they get them down though...

I just store mine in my closet with some space around it (not squished by other clothes) on a regular skirt hanger, and it stays plenty fluffy.

I store mine in the back of my closet on a skirt hanger with some room around it, I find that if it's kinda squished when I take it out, it's fine if I just shake it out, then it's fluffy!

Maybe it would be a good idea to hang it upside-down, like they tell you to do with your ballet costumes?

thank you all for the advice but what i should have mentioned was that i do hang it up in a closet with some extra space on a skirt hanger..and it seems as if it has lost a bit of its poof over that peroid....

does storing it in a box preserve it better? or does it cause it to go flat.?

Hang it upside down and it doesn't loose poof. ^_^;;

thats the thing...how do you hang an exetremly layered poofy petticoat upside down..i dont think it would work,lol

[raevenwynter.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'd try clothes pins and a hanger? Maybe four or five clothes pins. *shouldn't have answered question because we all know her petticoat is laying on a basket of clean clothes so it doesn't loose its poof... really, thats the reason I never put it away.. uh huh*

I hang mine from a high hanger-thing on my ceiling :)

Most petticoats are made to re-poof with some vigorous shaking and separating of layers by hand by the nature of tulle and netting. Hand poof it and it shall poof. If it's a starched style, starch it and lay it spread out in a circle to dry or hang it upside down to dry by its inner layer and it shall pooooof.
