How do you organize your bras?
Mine are being thrown into a drawer to get wrinkled and tangled. The draw is way to full for all of them now. Does anyone have any suggestions on what they do please?

I keep mine in the dresser drawers because I have so many and live in a dusty canyon where everything in my closet has to be encased in dry cleaning bags. I fold them in half, cup to cup and then tuck the band and straps inside the cup. Then they are organized by type, plunge, push-up, T-shirt, lacey, full coverage, sports, unique (racerbacks, halters, strapless, etc.), satin or smooth cup, yard/home improvement project (the kind your mom tells you not to wear in case you get in an accident and have to go to the hospital), demi cups, etc. I also stack them from light to dark in the summer because I wear more light colored clothing in the summer and dark to light in the winter because I wear more dark colored clothing. I use high sided gift boxes that I've covered in fabric or wrapping paper as dividers so that the piles stay neat in the drawer. I've used printed labels on the front side of the boxes in case I forget which pile is which. This system has worked for me for about 10 years, but you do have to do a little folding after you launder them to put them away, but the system is so simple even a hubby can do it!
Go to an organizer store or mass marketer and look for specialty hangers. I've a plastic vertical hanger thingie with about 6-8 big hooks. I group bras by color, type and it's easy to find the one I'm looking for. Also have a hanger with a dozen small hooks across the horizontal bar... used to use for bras but the closet's so crowded, it's been relegated to a back wall hook and now holds seldom worn lingerie.
They organize them in accordance to how attractive the girls buying them will be. For the hotties, their bras are kept at the front of the stores for everyone to see walking past the shop. For the notties, there is a cardboard box out back they let you rummage through.
I loop the straps over a hanger and keep them in my closet. Especially the nice ones.
YOU COULD ALSO USE A BELT HANGER that has load of hooks.
The black one is on my body, the beige one is soaking in woolite in the sink, and the sports one just came out of the dryer and has been tucked safely back into my dance bag.
Organization complete!
haha my wife hangs them on every door knob in the house! so their deff. not cramed any where. and their always easy to find.
Drives me crazy though. :P
