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.

full length mink coat...with chinchilla lining

*faints*

Back when I was still in Baltimore, I worked for a woman (a Maine native, by coincidence) whose winter coat was sealskin - made with the skin on the outside, and the fur on the inside. She thought the folks who wore their coats fur out were Completely Daft, because How Could You Stay Warm *that* Way? And besides, when it snowed, the fur got wet...

In SF, that coat was pure heatstroke!

But if you're gonna die of ostentation, that's the way to go!
