You have surely noticed that the larger and wider the garment, the more it falls off the hanger. Despite your best efforts, it does not miss, it ends up slipping. The explanation certainly comes from the fact that the branches of the hanger have been designed to support only average sizes. Never mind, there are still ways to trick to solve this problem. And the next option is not only easy to apply, but most importantly very economical. Simply take regular rubber bands and place them at the end of the left and right arms of the hanger. The bigger the loop, the better. Thanks to this trick, the elastic will block the fabric and immediately prevent it from slipping. Real child’s play!
Now there is also another interesting option to test. This involves covering the hangers with jute or hemp twine, if you have any around. Otherwise, you can get some in haberdashery or garden center. Same principle: the textile will stick to the rough structure of the string, which will therefore allow the garment not to fall easily. Besides, come to think of it, even a simple insulating tape can do the trick. This solution is similar to rubber bands: you just need to cover the ends of the suspension arms with this tape. But, above all, make sure that the band protrudes by at least 2 cm, or even more, in order to hold your clothes well. There you go, problem solved!
