Presenting your clothes flat is very easy to accomplish.

No real need for equipment but off course light sources, light tables and other photography equipment will level up the quality of your images.

Photographing  your images flat will ensure the rate of images processed will be high but be precautious that it will not affect the quality of presenting your clothes.

The number of creases will probably increase compared to presenting them via the invisible man technique.

Also the shape of the clothes will be less realistic so more editing is needed if you are looking for perfection.
