Hi MFPs

Thank you all for your support. I no longer eat out of boredom or loneliness.

Hangers: I get a dimple in my shirts - right where the clothing hanger sits - kind of mid to 3/4 on the shoulder line. I don't remember having this problem when I "wore a younger [girll's] clothes," to quote Billy Joel. Lol.

Does anyone have suggestions? Bigger hangers? Steaming? Anything?

Thanks in advance.

    Either one of those things should work. Steamers are lovely in general.

    Get different hangers. I have ones I got at Target. They are "velvet" lined (thin lined) and never had a dimple. Steaming is the best way to shed the dimples. Wish steaming worked on my thigh dimples, though. Hahahaha.

    Are the velvet lined hangers longer?

    Agree with the velvet hanger. I dont know if they are longer.

    They don't seem longer than any others I have used. My shirt size is L or XL depending on the shirt, mostly L. And they work great.

    Oh, ok. Then velvet it shall be. It will be my reward for keeping it "together" until November 14th. Thank you for your continued support. Gotta love MFPs!!!

    Or the puffy fabric-covered ones. If you're frugal, and crafty, it's pretty easy to use quilt batting and inexpensive fabric to "puffy-ize" the top part of regular wire hangars, too.

    My dry cleaner gives me back my suit jackets with a cardboard insert. That should work too. She might even sell me a few.

    My great grandmother used to crochet covers for the old style wooden hangers. I use those for my knits so that I don't get that "hanger bump".

    My grandma would wrap wire hangers in cloth piping. Funny, I haven't thought of those in years.
