i was wondering who'd be the first :p
there are what, 4 of us at least in the MD area with a 'hatbox thing' (my pile has grown), and i just got shahrzad into it when i explained why i was buying 5 hatboxes at value city LOL...it's a GREAT space saver for costumes that can handle folding, i hang the lycra ones in a closet with eveningwear, and shahrzad came out with handle bags that zip with a clear cover, maybe not great for storage, but GREAT to carry them in, fit jewelry a veil and music without being too bulky!
to steam the wrinklies, i hang them in the bathroom when i shower so the steam can let the wrinkles out, and the weight of the costume does the rest, works pretty well.....
