Best Way to Store Stockings

[Golden Browne]

I've been wearing lots of tights and stockings in an effort to promote wearing boots (as opposed to flip flops all winter). What is the best way to store them? Hang them? Roll them and stick 'em in a drawer?

The stockings I shoot in tend to be a little pricey so I like to keep them in the best condition for as long as I can. I usually fold them up gently and put them back in the original packaging (with the cardboard). My other stockings (ones I'm not as particular about) end up folded in a drawer. I would assume hanging them would be great as long as they wouldn't get snagged (that is out of the question for me as I have some curious kitties). I'm not sure if I am storing my stockings the best way but I can keep a pair in decent condition for quite a while.

i keep mine hanging over a padded hanger, so they dont get that wrinkle effect.

I keep all my stockings in a lined drawer so they don't get snagged. I also put them in zip lock bags when I travel. Not sure if it's the best, but it seems to work well.

I lay them gently in a drawer or do like Samantha and store them in the original packaging.

I'm a yoga teacher so my collection of leggings is quite extensive! LOL... I enjoy them.

The number one killer of stockings is snagging.

Be very very careful handling them and even more careful putting them on.

Don't every put stocking on if your legs are dry or if God forbid they are unshaven.

Shave, use lotion or powder.

Please don't roll them up in a ball, they will become wrinkled and misshappened.

Either hang them as Miss LaBelle mentioned or fold them in a lined drawer like Miss Tart.

By the way, there is only one item of hosiery more hideous than pantyhose and that is TIGHTS!

Well perhaps leggings and they're just tights with no feet.

ARGH!

I use to make lace drawstring bags to hold all my nicely folded stockings. It was always a dream to open a draw and see all the little lace bags filled with colorful stockings. I haven't made any in a while but they are super easy to make as you need them. On another stocking note, I found a missing stocking that my husband just mashed up and snagged in his glove box!! GRRR..... 4 years and you would think he would know better!

My main stocking collection is boxed away in A4 box files , the stocking and tight I wear regularly are individually packed in self seal bags A5 size on placed in a shoe storage bag which hooks onto the inside of a wardrobe door
this way you can see the different one with out rumaging amongst others there roon for 32 pairs.
it works for me.

I store stockings for my mistress in an expandable accordion file like this

When I am the boss I choose the pair she wears, when she is the boss she orders me to find the appropriate pair she would like and she makes me put them on her perfect legs.
