When going on holiday do you fold or roll clothes in the case?

What do you find best? Thanks

    I don't use a case, just a soft bag. Some I fold, some I roll, some I stuff. Most I leave at home. I'm fascinated to know why you ask...
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I fold neatly, my clothes always look fine when I arrive. I did try rolling once, it all came out looking a mess.

    I fold items which need ironing i.e. cotton shorts, shirts, jeans etc.

    I roll items which don't need so much ironing i.e. linen items, chiffon type tops.

    Bikinis and underwear get put in a laundry type bag which doubles up as the 'dirty' bag on the way back.

    Enjoy your holiday!

    Trousers in the bottom, hanging over the edge of the case, longish dresses, skirts next, the way, hanging over the edge.

    Tops, tee-shirts etc in clear plastic bags next. Shoes tucked around, undies pushed in them.

    When case full, fold those garments which are hanging out over the top.

    Fewer creases, as they don't have firm folds.
