Storage For Dressing Up Clothes?

**Schnakes** · 22-02-2008, 12:17 PM

Hi,

My dressing up drawers are now overflowing...Im just wondering how you store your dressing up clothes? I thought about buying a big suitcase, but thoguht it might be a bit tricky for the younger ones to open? (Plus would look odd in the front room!

What do you store your stuff in?

I have my dressing up stuff on a clothes rail and the extra bits and accossories in a box next to them xxx

( See my kitchen photos )

I have mine in a roller box so it can be wheeled out by the kids and they can help themselves.

I have mine in a pop up basket but it's full to overflowing and I'd love a rail

Think Susan said you can get them in Argos but haven't had a chance to look yet

At the moment mine are in 2 large shopping bags ( not plastic bags!! ) that hold loads and zip up. But I'm thinking of getting a rail, I think it would look nicer.

I keep mine in two big plastic buckets. My dressing up stuff is made up of a lot of odds and ends like old shirts, skirts, dresses, scarves, hats etc. I find the kids use them more imaginatively when they are in the buckets than when I had them hanging on a rail.

Mine are in a big plastic storage box from Wilkinsons at the moment. Was thinking of getting a rail as Susan's looks sooooo good but I think that would be more for my benefit than the childrens!

I remember when I was little I used to love getting things out of boxes and not knowing exactly what it was like until it was out so I'm going to leave mine in there plus I have to store mine in the shed so they really need to be covered as my cat sleeps in there!

Susan - sorry to be thick...how can I get to your kitchen photos?

Mine are in labelled washing bags - you know the white string bags with zips you can buy 2 for a £1 from the pound shop?

The labels feature the contents and a picture

Have you seen the price?

**Schnakes** · 22-02-2008, 02:41 PM

Yup....its lucky I dont have any space in my house for it really!!!

Charley Farley - you mentioned a storage unit..whats it like? Where did you get it from?

I have 2 Tuff Crate boxes full.

I really wish I had the room for a rail as I think it would be so much better and easier for the children to access them.

i am fairly limited on space so do toy rotation as I couldn't possibly have all the toys out at the same time.

I wish I had a toyroom

**Angela234** · 22-02-2008, 02:47 PM

Looks a lovely unit i see they also do a nice mirror for £33 that would be nice to put up for the children
I might get a argos rail have to re-arrange my playroom

I need to re-arrange my whole house!!!

I also do the toys swapped on a rota. I have three "tubs" (more like skips!!

) that get swapped, a load of stuff that just stays out, and the dressing up I usually just leave out too. But this afternoon I have had a sort out and taken anything thats not being played with upstairs.

I'd love that rail thing though!
