I am looking for tips on how to prop some hand made fabric items. Also, how can I increase the contrast between the whites? If there is a better place to post this please let me know! thanks!
Another option is to put them on a mannequin or person and use modeling to give the shirt a separation and 3d appearance. You can edit out the limbs in that case.

If your garment is essentially the same white as your background, then you MUST create a physical separation so ther'll be a little bit of a shadow on the BG. You can do this by making a cardboard "table" in the shape of the garment, but a tiny bit smaller, and elevating it maybe 1/2" above the BG. Lay your garment on the "table" and take your shot. Seriously, pure white on pure white ain't going to look like much.

Using a white background with a white subject has 2 possible outcomes: It will show how 'unwhite' your subject is, or it will blend.
But if you must... proper exposure and contrast adjustments should help separate them.

I agree with John...
Beige, gray or any high contrast color.
You will need to iron.....
It's not what you look at that matters: Its what you see!
