How to Properly Fold Clothes for Customers
The simplest way to fold a shirt is found below:
- Fold the shirt in half vertically
- Make sure the arms are placed together
- Fold each arm back to the shirt
- Fold in half horizontally
- Make sure the hand of the shirt is touching the neck
- Flatten it out to make the shirt appear neater
This method works best on short sleeved shirts but can be used for long sleeved, as well. Just make sure each time you fold the shirt it's flat, without wrinkles.
Here, you'll find the folding method used by retail stores. While it's not as simple as the one above, it is very efficient.
Hold shirt by the shoulders and fold the sleeves back. Be sure to use four fingers and thumbs to hold shirt in place. Then, fold it in half horizontally. Make sure that the hem touches at the neck. Smooth out any wrinkles.
Folding pants can be a quick and simple task. The best way to get them folded is to fold them in half vertically. Make sure pockets are on the outside. The legs should be fitted together perfectly. Take the legs and move them to right above the top of the pocket. They should be 2 to 3 inches below the waistline. This method will not leave a crease.
For those that like a crease, hold the trousers from the cuff and make sure the crease is in the front, not the back. With the bottoms touching the waistline, smooth the pant leg and pull it at the knee, fold in half. Bring the knees to the top of the trousers. Smooth out any wrinkles.
Skirts and dresses are usually hung but there are times when they need to be folded. The best way to do this for traveling is to fold them in half horizontally. Make sure the hem touches the waistband or collar. Then, fold it again vertically. The hem or collar should be placed inside the folded garment. The shape you end up with should be a rectangle. Fold once more to make a square.
