But what I use right now is a folding wire A-frame from Ikea that I adore, because it folds so tiny (hides behind a door) but opens up to hold all my delicates-sweaters, bras, silk stockings and garter belt-reasonably well.

Currently, they're spread out on the barbell on my weight bench... not exactly a good looking solution.

It could be a cupboard with horizontal mesh trays (like window screens) on sliders, or folding a-frame with wings that you can pull out of a closet, open up, and load with delicates--but I want it planned in! Because if you don't plan it, your gerryrigged version will take up all the floor space for 2 or 3 days while the delicates are drying.
