AKiCiF: Help Rolanni take care of her clothes

[rolanni]

Quite some while ago, I took "Girl," which was at that point in history a required course, failed, and never retook it. Yes, I have lived most of my adult life with an Incomplete on my record, though in practical terms, it matters about as much as calculus, another skill I managed never to acquire. Mostly, I get along fine without both, but occasionally my lack of Feminine Wiles(tm) catches me up, as it has now.

I have purchased a very nice shirt to wear to the book launch (here's a picture). When it arrived, I tried it on, decided that I liked it very much, that it did fit, and hung it up on a hangar. It turns out that this is not how I ought to be treating this kind of fabric, but I'm at a loss as to what else to do. If I fold it up and put it away with my t-shirts, the tie is going to get crushed, and the whole thing will likely get crumpled, and -- sigh.

Suggestions on how to store this thing until its hour in the sun arrives -- and after, assuming the party falls (just a little) short of Inspiring the Bards?

Abundant Spanish Aunts.

Pretty New Shirt

[claire774.livejournal.com]

The shirt is very pretty. I usually post when all the comments are in just cause I'm a night owl. Glad that everyone is so expert about this because I know nothing about these things. Where I live one hardly ever has to dress up thank heavens. Right now it's just T shirts and jeans. It's getting a tiny bit cold so Chickie (chihuahua mix) has to wear T's which she hates. For some reason she almost doesn't have any coat underneath. In the winter she has to wear sweaters. Gus, of course, has a gorgeous coat. Shannie being a poodle mix has no fur, only hair. Sophie, Chickie and Shannie have to wear T's and coats in the winter. They each have their own wardrobe accumulated over the years.
Gus doesn't have to wear anything but his own coat of fur. He's lucky.
