I find that hanging works very well for certain costumes but you do need to be careful about beaded lycra b/c of the weight factor. When I hang beaded lycra (or any costume with a lot of heaving beading on the skirt), I use two hangers -- one to hang the costume from, the other to drap the skirt over about half way down. I've found this works very well in distributing the weight and I've never had a problem with stretching. In fact, I got this idea from one of the costume curators at the last museum I worked at -- it's how she stored all the heavy, full skirts that needed more support.
