Understood and thanks. Please see response to similar point above: "No video with women's clothing yet. We might be able to put one together. The principles are basically the same, but women's clothes tend to be larger (skirts and dresses), more delicate, and then there are bras and high heels that differ and require special treatment. Otherwise, it's the same." Have heard your call, and will work to put together a video.
@FitriLing No video with women's clothing yet. We might be able to put one together. The principles are basically the same, but women's clothes tend to be larger (skirts and dresses), more delicate, and then there are bras and high heels that differ and require special treatment. Otherwise, it's the same. The magazine is just a guide and should not remain in the shirt or suitcase. Better to use a proper piece of cardboard for the shirt.
this is a great packing video minus the fact that you are wasting so much paper...i've heard of using tissue paper to prevent creases, never to use 1 sheet per peice of clothing! thats just waseful, and if you are worried about the darks running onto the light colors, don't put them together! duh!
@aLilBitOfLuv Thanks. We often hear this complaint. The paper can be reduced in this particular video, by being halved in size. It can be reused & recycled, much like newspapers. However, there are other reasons for using paper than to prevent creases. If an item has been worn already. If it has parts that can snag on other items. If it is delicate. Remember, this packing procedure was developed to protect very fine and high- quality clothing. If one were packing jeans and T-shirts, no need!
@socaldude83 Garment bags work if one is traveling light. And assuming one can let the clothes hang, rather than having to fold the garment bag in half.
Is there any special tissue paper that you use so not to get lint on the clothes. and website that sell the paper you use . thanks Love the videos very helpful
@kbunky69 Glad you like. The tissue paper is the kind that is sometimes used by gift stores or stores to wrap presents. Pr that can be found in folded business shirts when purchasing them. They come in about 2x3 feet sheets, and can be found online by Googling "packing tissue paper," which for instance, will take you to a page like ... sorry, it seems one cannot post a URL...
Hmm, while I would like to see some use for these wasteful plastic items, a potential problem with them is that they slide around. So when the suitcase is moved, the contents will slide from one side to another, unless the items are packed tight, which, of course, would result in creases. Have you tried using these plastic sheets? What happened in practice?
Thanks for the feedback. Remember, the tissue paper can be re-used many times, and then recycled. You can also cut the paper to size, so that a whole sheet is not employed for each layer, but half.
Another alternative is to use the plastic dry cleaning bags. These could be used again and again, and this is one of the few uses for something that would otherwise go into the landfill after one use. Just be sure to keep them out of the reach of children. You can also use these to separate dirty laundry on a trip, separate from clean items.

I really would love a packing series (suitcase and carry on) for women's clothing. It would be invaluable for me.

- do u have any video for packing women's clothing
- use magazine as shirt backing? wouldn't that add weight?

why not just pack all this in a garment bag?
then you wouldn't have to fold everything.

@socaldude83 Certainly useful when traveling for a day or two by car, but not by airplane.

Very helpful -- never thought of folding clothes over the bulk of the items within the case.

Nice video. THanks! I needed this. I am going on a trip to Nicaragua soon and this really helped.

@Demores02 Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, these bags are very slippery and seem impractical for the purpose of packing

wonderful work, although i find the tissue paper a little wasteful and extravagant
