Hmm, put the trousers on the top, folded down the creases, like you would when hanging them, and just lay them foldedin half at the knees, in the position they would be if they were on the hanger.

Lay them on top of the clothes so they are only against the lid.

The other thing you can do, though I've failed miserable at this, is again fold down the creases, then roll them from the waist down.

I need a bit of help here.

Off shortly on hols and I must admit to being completely useless when I pack suitcases. Others arrive at their destination hang up their clothes and manage to look immaculate.

I'm the creased one (no comments about wrinkles please!)

I usually pack stuff that doesn't show the creases or is meant to be creased so I don't have to worry, but, I want to pack a pair of tidy black trousers for a couple of the evenings so, how do I pack them so they don't look like some weird concertina thing when I unpack?

Suitcase is not one of the rigid ones but it will be full up so stuff shouldn't move around. And we're going by train so no flinging around of stuff by baggage handlers.

Many thanks

Jill
