Good Question: Clothing Display

Reader Sanae sent us an e-mail: "Hello! I've recently started making clothes for my daughter and because I've invested so much time in them and really love them, I'd like to display them in her room once she's outgrown them.

I'm looking for stylish yet affordable vintage hangers (or vintage-looking) -- any idea on where the best places would be other than eBay and Craigslist?

Good question, Sanae.

Well Sanae, we featured these pretty paper-covered hangers here before and think they would be a charming way to display your daughter's dresses. My Retro Baby has some adorable vintage-style wooden hangers available in white with pink trim and in sage for $14 each.

Well readers, do you have any display ideas you can pass on to Sanae?

I don't know if these qualify as vintage-looking, but they sure qualify as cute:

The Container Store hangers are really cute. I can't believe they sell them there.

I used a set of padded fabric covered baby-sized hangers to hang my daughter's maternal and paternal grandmothers' baby dresses on her walls. I found mine at Ross.

Also, I hung them on the wall using antique-style drawer knobs that I bought at Anthropologie.

You can see it on my flickr set for my daughter's nursery:

Thanks so much for the great suggestions! I like them all but especially LOVE the Container Store hangers and The Small Object ones. I'm off to get some hangers...

I like the shaker style with a leather strap instead of a hook if I'm hanging things from a wall peg, like these:
