hi I'm Leslie Wilmot wardrobe and
packing expert for smart packing and
founder of smart women on the go in this
video I'm going to show you how to roll
clothing for packing now throughout the
world there are rollers and there are
folders personally I use both techniques
but rolling is a good thing to do
depending on the type of suitcase you
have and the type of clothing it's best
for very casual clothing or denims like
these jeans or for knits or synthetic
fabrics they don't wrinkle very much at
all and so rolling is a good thing to do
for those and it helps you get that
clothing into little nook and crannies
of a suitcase or if you have got a
duffel bag or a backpack you're going to
want to roll your clothes to more
effectively pack this type of bag now
let me show you how to do it to roll a
t-shirt place it facedown on your bed
fold the sleeves in and then simply roll
tightly and you do want to roll it
tightly smoothing as you go from the hem
up to the neckline
now you can stack a you know several
t-shirts into your bag or you may want
to put them into a container as you roll
each one place them into a zip top bag
to roll pants I place these flat on the
bed but they're folded in half
lengthwise I'm going to roll from the
waist down to the hem and again
smoothing as you go and roll tightly if
you have a skirt and you need to roll
that well first you want to fold it into
thirds then it too is best to roll from
the waist to the hem smoothing as you go
if you have an item that that does
wrinkle and you have to roll it then I
strongly recommend that you put it in a
plastic drycleaners bag first
this will help cushion the wrinkles and
then you're going to fold it in on the
sides
and roll it up plastic and all I'm
