Thread: Bedlah storage?

Don't know if this has been covered or not, but here goes. After searching for a couple months, I finally purchased a couple of bedlahs. Question now...storage. How do you store/keep your bedlahs? Naturally, I would like to keep them looking good, but am not sure what to use or how to store them. I have seen different dancers use different things (ex. small tupperware type boxes, suitcases, garment bags, etc.), but what is actually recommended or preferred.

I LOVE those clear plastic shelves with slide-out drawers that you can get at Linens-N-Things. I also like to put tiny little sachets in each one to keep them smelling fresh. You can keep 2-3 bedlahs in each drawer, and since they're clear, you can see exactly what you're getting at! You can put the accessories in separate containers if you'd like.

I use one of these for each costume: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F6SZSS]Amazon.com: Eagle Creek Pack-It® Cube: Apparel[/ame] . I include matching jewelry, body stocking, underwear, etc. in with the bedleh.

The mesh lets it breathe so it won't make my costume smell stale, and you can see through the mesh to see which costume is inside. It has a handle on one end, which makes it easy to grab it and put it into my dance bag when I'm going somewhere that will involve changing after I get there.

Check out this thread for some details on storage and the pitfalls of some costume fabrics/components.
