As we've just mentioned, your faithful editor is moving into her first home this weekend, and after sanding, stripping (paint, you cheeky thing!) and painting, I'll also be somehow organising my tremendous collection of lingerie. To tackle this Herculean feat, I'm going to need some help from the furniture gods, and I've outlined my options to help fellow lingerie lovers:

1: Francais-Fabulous

First, let's go grand. If i had lots of dosh and the available floor space, my first choice would be a grand semainier, or a chest with seven drawers ("semanier" is rooted in the french word for "week"). It's kind of a grown-up version of Day Of the Week knickers, except this version is antique French Louis-Philippe and costs about $5,000. Maybe we should stick with just the knickers, actually.

2: Elegant and attainable

Moving slightly towards levels of reality, I could always indulge in a lingerie chest, which is a tall chest of drawers like a semainier, but can have any number of drawers. You'll typically find that lingerie chests have segmented drawers, allowing you to easily tuck away your frillies into organised compartments. There are any variety of lingerie chests available, from fancy-looking french varieties ranging in the thousands, to modern, equally elegant versions available in the hundreds (pictured above). If you don't fancy the old-worldie look, you can indulge in this bright and beautiful New England lingerie chest, where you can customise everything from the type of drawer pulls to the type of bevel used on the edges.

3: Cheap and cheerful

This is all very lovely, but I've got paint to buy, vans to hire, and utility deposits to pay - maybe there's a cheaper solution for keeping my knickers in place? Finally, I settled on some clever drawer organisers that are decidedly less elegant, but much more reasonable for my bank account. My favourite are these cute little velvety organisers you can order in three different sizes for only $9 each, but there are all kinds of different options at this website to suit your own needs, from bra organisers to sock/stocking inserts.

It hardly seems fair that a lingerie expert has to settle for drawer inserts, but maybe some of you can indulge in some of the more glamorous options. Whatever you use, organising your lingerie is a quick and easy way to avoid a heap of twisted bra hooks and pantyhose, so get organising!
