Folding a women's suit for travel or storage can prevent wrinkles and save space. Based on the provided reference, here's a method involving a "mini fold" and using a crease as a guide:
Folding Method:
-
Prepare the Jacket: Lay the suit jacket face down on a flat surface.
-
Fold One Shoulder Back: Fold one shoulder of the jacket back, creating a "mini fold". This creates a crease that will act as a guide.
-
Position Other Side: Take the opposite side of the jacket (including the arm) and fold it over, placing it on top of the folded shoulder. Make sure the arms are tucked inside, keeping the jacket relatively flat. The folded side should align with the crease created earlier.
-
Fold in Half (or Thirds): Depending on the size of your suitcase or storage space, fold the jacket in half or thirds from the bottom up.
Key Considerations:
- Pants: Fold the suit pants separately along their natural creases. You can place them inside the folded jacket for more compact packing.
- Creases: Pay attention to existing creases on the suit and use them as guides for folding. This helps maintain the garment's shape.
- Protection: Consider using tissue paper or garment bags to further protect the suit during travel or storage. This can help prevent wrinkles and snags.
- Alternative Methods: Other folding methods exist, such as the "roll" method, which may be preferable for extremely limited space.
Note: The provided YouTube video snippet suggests keeping the arms inside the fold, which is a common technique to minimize bulk and prevent creases.
