Many of us over pack for our holidays- 40 per cent of women admit taking too many shoes, for instance. Some ideas to let you squeeze more in and help them arrive in good shape:
Place Heaviest Items.
Such as shoes and denim, at the bottom.
Leave dresses
in dry cleaning bags and fold them at the waist. If packing more than one, pile them up and fold.
Turn suit jackets
inside out and fold in half along the body. Fold suit trousers along the crease.
Avoid coloured tissue paper.
If the luggage gets damp, colours could run.
Roll knits
rather than folding them. Takes up less room and avoids wrinkles. Ditto for cotton items and ties.
Zip-lock bags
work well for T-shirts and jumpers. Press out the air and seal.
Put beauty products
into small bottles. You can always leave them behind.
Fill handbags
with socks and underwear. It saves space and keeps their shape.
