Lay silk dresses and pants—and all other crease-prone garments—on a few sheets of tissue paper, then fold. These will go on top of the rest of your clothes or in your suitcase’s inside pouch. If you travel frequently, consider the reusable Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder 18 ($28;
eaglecreek.com). It works like the tissue- paper method (you wrap clothes around a fabric board) but lets you pack more—up to 12 pieces!—in less space.
