So they really work? Curious if they stay that way and what the clothes are like when you take them out again. Let us know.
I'd love a project like that right now. My whole family is watching football..
Time will tell if that stay "shrunk" but they worked exactly as advertised. The key is to put the items inside the bags as neatly as possible, that way when you suck the air out with the vacuum it stays really flat. I got a really cool one that lets you store up to 10 dresses, everything hangs from a large hook and then the whole bag hangs in the closet...I have so many old bridesmaids dresses, etc. that I don't want to get rid of quite yet but never wear so it was nice to stow all that away.

Should you ever decide to get rid of the dresses, here's a great idea for them, someone in your area may be doing this, too...a couple of moms here got so tired of the cost of dresses they got together, pooled all the dresses they had bought for their daughters over the years and now they have a swap around prom time and winter formals.
The girls can pick a dress for free, they just need to trade one in so the supply stays fresh.
I had no idea these high schoolers were going to 3-4 formals/year.
Anyway, it sounds good to me. Pass those dresses around! My daughter did this for years. I couldn't afford formal dresses so she raided the closets of friends.
