Need storage suggestions- my house is being taken over by dress up clothes

How do you store your DD's dress up stuff. We had a hamper which was fine at first but now that she's 4 it's a full blown collection of hats, gloves, shoes, dresses, boas, jewelry, etc.

We have a playroom or we could also use her bedroom. I just need organization suggestions. Thanks! The hamper is not workable b/c to get to one dress he has to take out all 15 or 20!

My mom uses this Land of Nod toychest, it also doubles as a seat when needed (She has 6 granddaughters so this has seen them all through the dress-up years!)

She originally kept things in a hall closet but that was a PITA cause the kids constantly needed help to reach things and pulled out everything in the closet. this box is perfect for the princess wear and accessories!!!

You could also hang one of these peg racks for the hats and boas, just hang it within reach so she doesn't need your help all the time:

The peg rack is a good idea. Where did you find this?

Holy huge pictures!!! Chat Icon That one's land of nod too, but I bet you can find one cheaper at any local hardware store or home depot, you could even prime and paint it if you want it to coordinate.

We have a plain wooden toy box from Michaels that we put everything in. My plan is to get the removable hooks and put them on the wall above it for the boas, necklaces, etc.

Clean up is easy since we just toss everything in.
