I am not the expert referenced in the title of this post, and there's a possibility that you don't trust my own closet organization tips. If you fall into the doubting category, let me share some timeless advice on how to properly store your clothing and organize your closet. If you can't take my word for it, and you don't trust the word of etiquette experts, then you're better off using dresser drawers.
From the importance of using fashionable boxes, bags and storage tools to realizing that the care of your closet affects the care of your clothes, the experts in the 1936 classic Everyday Living for Girls cover it all. These women may not have had to consolidate 24 years worth of binge-purchases, worn-once formal dresses and enough shoes to outfit a family of octopuses, but I'm sure they had closet struggles of their own.
Notable Quotables
"It is this detailed and systematic care that differentiates the well-groomed girl from the one who always has an untidy, careless look. For, 'When carelessness comes in at the door, beauty goes out the window.'"
"Colorful hat standards, covered hangers, attractively covered boxes of every description, dress covers, shoe tree contraptions and mending kits should be received with keen enthusiasm and should start any girl on the right path for a well-cared-for wardrobe."

"Order in the clothes closet aids in good grooming and saves wear and tear on clothes."
Manners Moral: Organizing a closet isn't something that you can only do twice a year. It's a day-to-day process. How you keep up your closet has an effect on your appearance, whether you realize it or not. And, that comes from experts, so you don't just need to take my word for it.
