Abstract
Hanging is often the preferred method of storing textile costume collections when large drawers are not available. Hanging storage is most appropriate for constructed garments such as jackets with set-in sleeves, or other garments with a European cut. Usually, constructed clothing is generally stored flat or folded. The most important factor to remember with this storage solution is that the entire weight of a garment will be supported by a relatively small area, and consequently, only sturdy garments in good condition should be hung on padded hangers.
