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.

Ahh, yes, the pretty 150 grit polycotton. I have found nice prints in HTC (cotton, and one time, silk (although, ka-ching)), but my long term preference is for solids...so lots of dark blue here.

I've never felt silk was comfortable enough to my hand to trust its comfort next to my skin, thus avoiding the cost!
