  I have a garment bag roller so I hang my maxi dresses over a pants hanger that MH gets from his dry cleaner.  If you don't have a garment bag, I would take a dry cleaner plastic cover and place it over your maxi dresses/skirts and roll it up (not tightly wound).  Unpack and hang everything as soon as you get to your hotel.

  I roll everything.  Things can still get a bit wrinkled, but I hang them up ASAP and steam them while I'm in the shower, if needed.

  I roll everything very carefully, and I unpack and hang up dresses as soon as I get to my destination.  If the material is very likely to wrinkle and there won't be an iron where you are, they make mini travel steamers.  I don't have one but my mom swears by them.

  Fold a few times lengthwise then roll from the top of the skirt/dress down to the bottom.  Depending on the material I iron some of them before packing.

  I travel with maxi dresses a lot. I just loosely fold them and lay them on top of everything else in my suitcase. Then I hang them up as soon as I arrive.

  I also put everything flat. Sometimes I leave the hangers on the cloths. One shake and hang. I always take a small water spray bottle for water. In the morning I spray away the wrinkles, and by evening the article is dry and the wrinkles are gone. Marie
