We’ve all been there. With almost no time before a big event, you realize your dress is a crumpled disaster. Stay. Calm. These three tricks will salvage your outfit – sans iron.
DIY Wrinkle-Release Spray
Combine one teaspoon conditioner with one tablespoon white vinegar and two cups water. Funnel into a bottle, and voilà! You’ve got yourself an instant wrinkle-release spray. Just spritz on trouble spots, then pull fabric taut until it’s smooth.
Kettle
No steamer? Don’t sweat it. Position a hot teakettle about a foot away from your garment and use the steam to remove any creases.
Hair Dryer
Once you’ve finished taming your tresses, keep your hair dryer on hand. Dampen the crinkled spots on your clothing, then hit them with low heat. Avoid singed threads by holding the dryer at least two inches back.
Now you can be fashionably late on purpose.
