I have acquired a tonnage of Barefoot Dreams in the past couple years with more on the way after this week (LOL) I have them folded up on storage racks, not hanging, but everytime I want to wear something I have to steam the wrinkles out of them no matter how neat I fold them up. How does everyone store their Barefoot Dreams other than rolling them, which I don't have the room to roll every piece I have. I keep my hand steamer close by, but wish they wouldn't wrinkle up so bad.

I fold all of mine also and put them on my closet shelves.  When I pull one to wear, I drop it in the dryer for just a couple of minutes, it  works out any wrinkles Smiley Happy

I fold mine.  Any wrinkles just seem to fall out when I wear it.  

 

Putting it in the dryer is a good idea.

Re: Barefoot Dreams storage????

I tried folding them at first, but didn't like the fold marks, no matter how careful I was in folding them.

 

I now hang all of my BD items. I have over 40, so folding them and putting them in drawers or purchasing storage boxes takes more room than just hanging them.

 

I use 17" padded hangars and the clothes always look nice. Mine have not stretched out by being hung. If I can wear them (hang them on my body) and they don't stretch out, then I can use them on hangars, right? Heart

I fold all mine. I pull out which I’m planning to wear and lay it out flat (sometimes spraying a little wrinkle release if real bad) while I’m getting ready. Throw it on an and find just wearing it pulls any wrinkles out quick. Not really an issue for me I guess.

@jackpotwinner   I fold them and then hang them on one of the thin velvet hangers like I would a pair of slacks.  Just make sure they are folded cleanly and you won't get any wrinkles. 

 

I don't have a ton of BFD, but I have way more then I need or deserve.  I love them and have the caftans too - they are so soft and just perfect for lounging at night.

Here's how to hang a sweater, although it might be awkward with the very long ones.  No stretching.  I use it for all of mine.

I fold mine also, and have rolled them in the past and put on a shelf, but still saw wrinkles.  I try to plan ahead, and will grab the piece I want to wear and lay it flat and smooth out the wrinkles with my hand or put it on.  It seems body heat and gravity pulls the wrinkles out.
