Satin & Padded Hangers for Lingerie, Coats, and Other Delicate Clothes |
|
|
|
The most widely-known of the padded hangers family
are the lingerie hangers also known as satin
padded hangers. Usually made with straight sides
and no shoulder, the lingerie hanger is full,
round and soft. They are often covered with luxury
fabrics such as silk, satin or velvet, and run to
colors like pink, mauve and powder blue. Ribbons
and bows are not unusual, and a set of elegant
lingerie hangers makes a thoughtful and pretty
gift for brides, new mothers and teenage girls.

------------------------
Custom storage solutions include making closets
beautiful and well-lit—like the dressing rooms of
early romantic movies. Medieval or Renaissance
outfits should hang on velvet hangers—a tribute to
the eras of heavy, rich clothing. Victorian
closets rely on classy satin padded hangers to
create an aura of lushness, and floral patterns
and scented sachets uphold the turn-of-the-century
design sensibility. Lovely padded hangers enhance
the sense of elegance and style of even small
closets.
However, there are other padded hangers in the
marketplace, and their considered use helps
clothes last longer by maintaining their original
shapes. High-quality cleaning and laundering
services use padded hangers that are of metal but
include a skim of flexible foam over the shoulder
area. The foam protects the shoulder seams of
blouses and shirts, preventing unwanted strain or
creasing from the edges of the hanger.
Pants and skirt hangers are sometimes available
with padding across a central bar. Rather than
clipping the garment, one can drape it over the
bar, where the thick padding will keep a crease
from forming in the garment. These hangers are
ideal for those whose vertical closet space is
limited: garments can be hung “folded” in half
rather than being suspended at their full length
from clips.
Formal wear is another place where padded hangers
fulfill their duty in protecting beautiful clothes
from the strain of hanging. Beaded gowns are heavy
with glass beads or pearls, yet delicate in the
fabric. Sometimes gowns are so heavy that they
cannot be hung up: they could be torn apart by
their own weight. But most gowns can be hung on
padded hangers equipped with extra bars or small
hooks to hang trains or long skirts. Padded formal
wear hangers serve to minimize the vertical stress
on the clothing seams while keeping them from
being crushed.
Formal boy’s and girl’s clothing should also be
hung on padded hangers: christening gowns, tiny
suits, children’s clothes and formal infant
dresses can be handed down to future generations
if they are gently used, neatly hung up and
protected from moths. Because of their heirlloom
quality, learning how to make a padded hanger is
very popular in sewing circles.
