The better to iron?
The wedding dress should be smoothed out if it was bruised during transportation, preparing for sale or storage, and also after the item has been washed. It is important to remember that not every fabric is capable of transferring ironing with a regular iron. If it is dense (for example, gabardine or viscose), then the iron is unlikely to cope with smoothing things.
Most of these dresses have a lot of various rhinestones, beads and lace. The areas in which they are located, it is quite difficult to smooth, eliminating irregularities. The most effective and easy option is the steaming, which allows you not to worry about the fact that the fabric can be damaged. This method relieves the dress of irregularities in five to seven minutes without any problems.

After the folds are smoothed out, you need to hang it out for three to four hours so that it is completely dry. The density of the fabric depends on how long the outfit will be smoothed. This method has some disadvantages:

Iron and gauze

On the iron, the correct mode is chosen (which depends on what fabric the outfit is made of). It is best to use a minimum temperature so as not to harm clothing. Before starting the process it is necessary to clean the sole of the iron well, as it should be as clean as possible.
