I have a couple of those plastic containers with the big drawers in them - they are not airtight - and I store bedleh in there inside pillow cases. I can get about 2-3 bedleh/costumes in each drawer.
Some costumes and skirts are hung on hangers, with the double-hanger method if they are very heavy. Currently, I only have skirts without beading, so stretching is not a problem. I also have a drapery hanger from a dry cleaners with a large cardboard tube which I hang silk veils on.
I confess as a busy working dancer I have not always taken the best care of my costumes, but as I have bought higher quality costumes, I now put more effort into care after wear (gotta preserve that resale value!). Now, I never leave them in the suitcase overnight, I take them out, spray them with vodka, and let them air until they are dry. Only then do they get folded, hung, wrapped in pillowcases, and stored.
I like the idea of moisture/odor absorbing sachets, I wil have to make some with rice and lavender.
