help w/ packing
Permalink Closed

So, my boyfriend and I are going to a wedding this weekend. We want to bring as little as possible. So, we will each a carry-on, but there's no way of putting our suit and dress in there w/o getting it wrinkled up. We don't want to fish out $100 for a garment bag either. Plus, what do you guys do with your wrinkled clothes. My sister does not own an iron! I heard about some wrinkle-free spray. Any suggestions? Thanks

I would try rolling the items (instead of folding which leaves creases) and then hang them in the bathroom while you shower.  The hot steam will help any wrinkles fall out.

you can try hanging your dress/his suit in the bathroom and run some steamy shower water to release wrinkles.

yes.. definitely roll the dress. as for his suit, i have packed my suit in a carry-on before.. i just laid it on the bottom of the bag and folded the arms over it.. as for the pants, lay them on top and then leave the extra length out... when he is done packing, fold them over everything else. that should help! and then definitely hang them in a steamy bathroom if there are still wrinkles. I've also found that flat irons for hair work wonders in a pinch!:)

This depends on what the fabric is. I hang my clothes in the bathroom every morning while I take a shower, and only about half of them de-wrinkle by doing this. The only pattern I've seen so far is that rayon doesn't really de-wrinkle without an iron. I haven't been too attentive to recognize any other patterns

i don't know if you want to spend $45 on a steamer, but it would probably get a lot more use than a garment bag.

Great ideas! I might just also have to buy a steamer, just in case. At least that's cheaper than a garment bag. Thanks!
