How to Pack Tops and Shirts for Vacation

Folding

• 1

  Lay the shirt or top front side down on a flat surface.

• 2

  Fold the sleeves so that they lie against the back of the shirt. It's okay to fold the torso of the shirt in about 2 inches with the sleeves. For a sleeveless shirt, just fold the sides in 2 to 3 inches.

• 3

  Turn the bottom of the shirt up 3 to 4 inches and smooth it with your hand.

• 4

  Pull the top of the shirt back to meet the bottom edge. This folds it perfectly in half.

• 5

  Place the outside edge of the fold against the outside of the suitcase. The collar is toward the middle.

Rolling

• 6

  Follow Step 1 to 3 in Section 1 for folding.

• 7

  Continue to roll from the bottom of the shirt in 3-inch segments until you reach the top of the item.

• 8

  Stack your rolled items together inside the suitcase. Rolled clothing also fits nicely into a duffel bag.
