HOW TO FOLD A DRESS

HOW TO FOLD A DRESS

           We all have been there when we had to fold shirts or t-shirts and we were clueless how to and end up doing the worst we could. So, here's a quick guide on how to fold your dresses the next time you are asked to do or when you want to :P.

FOLDING A SHIRT:

STEP 1: Button the top button and the third button.

STEP 2: Lay the shirt face-down on the folding surface. You should be looking at the back of your shirt.

STEP 3: Smooth out any puckers or wrinkles, so the shirt is flat front and back.

STEP 4: Fold the right side first. Fold about one-third of the body toward the center of the shirt. The fold line starts at the center of the shoulder and ends at the tail. You should see the back of your shirt with about one-third of the front folded to the back.

STEP 5: Neatly fold the sleeve forward, creating an angled fold at the shoulder. The sleeve should line up with the edge of the first body fold.

STEP 6: Fold the left side in the same manner.

STEP 7: Make a fold of several inches of the shirt tail.

STEP 8: Fold up the bottom half of the partially folded shirt. The tail should be just behind the collar of the shirt now.

STEP 9: Turn the entire shirt over. You should have a neatly folded shirt as you typically see at a professional laundry or clothing store.

FOLDING A T-SHIRT:

STEP 1: Lay out the shirt. Lay the shirt out horizontally in front of you, face-up. The neck of the shirt should be to your left.

STEP 2: Pinch the shoulder. On the far side of the shirt, grasp the shirt with your left hand at the top of the shoulder, halfway between the sleeve and the neck.

STEP 3: Pinch the midsection. On that same side, grasp the shirt with your right hand halfway down the shirt (think of this as the point where the bottom fold would be on a store-bough shirt). Your right hand should be parallel with your left hand.

NOTE: Make sure that you have pinched through both layers of fabric.

STEP 4: Fold the shirt over. Still pinching the shirt with both hands, cross your left hand over your right hand so that the shoulder of the shirt goes down to the hem. Pinch the hem and the shoulder together with your left hand.
NOTE: Your arms should now be crossed.

STEP 5: Uncross your arms. Lift the shirt up as you uncross your arms, keeping your grasp on the shirt with both arms. Pull the shirt taut with both hands and shake out and creases.

STEP 6: Fold the remainder of the shirt. Holding the shirt up, lay it so that the front portion of the unfolded sleeve is touching the ground, up to the equivalent position where it is folded on the other side.

STEP 7: Lay the shirt down. Lower the rest of the shirt so that the fold is complete and the front of the shirt is facing up.
