9:43 – Main Topic -> Traveling (literally) WITH Style!

• corsets
• long, fluufy skirts
• ***give a thought to packing while you're buying***
• Iron the day you land - you won't do it the next day
• Check suits, and satin, and related as it cuts down on creases
• Roll your gowns; lay them at the outer portion of your clothes and they will be the least wrinkled external bit
• Suits -> shell the shoulders and look on YouTube for tips
• Special suitcases exist tailored for suits
• Tips and tricks on packing business attire AND costumes for Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc
• Pack your corset in your carry-on!
• Fluffy undergarments (petticoats) can be stored in space saver bags since wrinkles don't matter that much
• Bag your expensive clothes! Water will find its way through even the best suitcase and ruin the whole dress-up event
• Wear your hat! Keep it safe. Unless you have a special carry-case like Dan Wells
• Ironing Tip! -> Let the iron get hot, then iron one of your hotel towels when wet to make sure the iron is clean.
• Inside out ironing, packing, and hanging in the closet is your friend
• Stuff your shoes so they don't get crushed (underwear's good)
