How to Get Wrinkles Out of a Dress
To remove wrinkles from a dress, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom, use a handheld steamer, or press on low heat. Steam relaxes most fabrics without an iron. Read the care label before any heat. This guide covers wrinkle fixes with and without an iron.
Remove wrinkles without an iron
Hang the dress in the bathroom during a hot shower. The steam relaxes creases in ten to fifteen minutes. A handheld steamer works faster and suits delicate fabrics. A damp cloth and a smoothing hand help small areas.
Iron the right way
Match the iron heat to the fabric. Low heat suits silk and polyester. Medium suits cotton. Turn the dress inside out and press on the reverse to protect the surface.
Prevent wrinkles
Hang dresses after washing. Roll dresses when packing. Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics like jersey and crepe for travel.
