Absolutely delighted...all my summer tops released from binsacks and boxes hanging compactly, neatly, visibly & totally accessable.

All I need to do now is -
a) reduce post-op belly to fit into them
b) find enough places to go to wear them
c) keep out of charity shops for a bit

Just keep a careful eye on your collection of paperclips. it's not generally known that they're the larvae of wire coat hangers and if left to their own devices will breed prolifically!

About 15 years ago, I bought several packs of normal and clip ended coat hangers (for trousers and skirts) in Matalan which were coated with fine rubber in various colours. They are brilliant! No transfer of the colours, grip whatever is put on them and the bits that are bare metal (the hanger bits) are still bright and shiny.

I wish they still sold them, I'd buy and heap more for all the clothes I sew and give away.
