To fold a T-shirt, first lay it out front-side up on a flat surface and spread out any wrinkles with the palms of your hands. Then, grab the left edge of the shirt at the top and bottom and fold it over the center so that the left side meets the right edge of the neck. Fold the left sleeve back on top of the section you just folded. Next, grab the right third of the shirt by pinching it at the top and bottom. Fold it over the center and left side so that the edge meets the left side of the neck. Then, fold that sleeve back on top. To finish, fold the shirt into smaller rectangles or roll it up. To fold a dress shirt, start by buttoning it all the way up and laying it front-side down on a clean, flat surface. Stretch the arms out to side and spread out any wrinkles with your hands. Then, grab the bottom-left corner and the left shoulder where the arm starts. Fold both of them over the center of the back in the middle. Take the left sleeve and fold it down so that it runs parallel over the edge where you folded the side. Repeat this process on the right side. Start by grabbing the right edge of the shirt at the top of the shoulder and bottom of the waist. Then, fold it over to meet the left sleeve so that the 2 edges meet. Layer the second sleeve next to the spot where you folded the first sleeve.
