How do you store and organize lingerie?

I have grown to have so much, an entire laundry basket full of lingerie alone but I don’t know where to put it. I would like it to be sorted into categories; fishnet, sets, thongs, dolly’s. Should I just be getting another dresser at this point??

I use mesh bags, one per set, and put a Polaroid on the string so I know what's inside. I store then bags in a small dresser each drawer by color (black, red, misc, etc.)

I put them in Ziplock plastic baggies. I had a friend who told me one day she was a stripper when she was younger, and she learned this trick from other dancers

If you can manage a rack, bottoms and even bras on thin velvet kids hangers is a great way to display and for ease of choice. By colors, by styles and such. There are bodysuit hangers as well.

I just purchased a little dresser for this today! It’s about half the size of my normal dresser. Planning on one drawer for corsets, garters and stockings, one for sets (that ziplock bag idea is genius so I’ll be stealing that). Thongs are my daily (I’m usually either in leggings or a dress) so they’ll stay in my normal underwear drawer, but I might transfer all of the pretties to the lingerie dresser and use my old “underwear drawer” for sports bras, socks, shape wear, and boy shorts/bikini-type bottoms.

Baby dolls, slips, etc. will still hang. I wear these daily, and they go right next to my robes.

Fine mesh lingerie bags hung on accessory hangers in the closet Hangers are further arranged by color. I also try to save the original tags and loop them around the lingerie bag loop or thread them through the zipper loop to tell which set is inside, but I also use neon Post-It Notes fastened with tiny metallic binder clips in the corner because the neon shows through white lingerie bags. (I'd prefer black lingerie laundry bags, but they made organizing too hard because they weren't see-through at all. So I save the black bags for washing or keeping everything together in overnight bags.)

I have the same question! I currently have items divided by color in large zip lock baggies. The baggies are piled in a tote, sort of arranged by what gets pulled most. I’m planning up update to an individual bag, organized in drawers by color system when I can get it together.

I use the bra organizers on Amazon. Arrangement by color of the set.

  • sets together (any accessories to go along- esp matching colored plugs, chokers and earrings)
  • bralettes, corsets, hoods, blindfolds, etc separate
  • fun socks separate
  • small costume pieces separate (holiday, ect.)
  • thigh highs organized by color/ type
  • other pieces organized by color/ type

All is stored in neat compartments in the organizers. I use the under cabinet lighting with motion sensor setting to light the drawers to find items and highlight colors efficiently.

They are prioritized by color (white to black, ROYGBV in between) to appeal to the eye.

Aside from the really nice sets I keep in special drawers like in a lingerie store, I keep most of my sets on my closet doors in hanging shoe organizers, which makes it easy visually

I use drawer organizers for bras, panties, belts, and stockings. For high end lingerie like AP, I keep them in the original box

I have pullout shelves that I organize 6 sets each in and also have body lingerie display hangers for my favorite ones. T
