and my suit fell off the hanger and is very creased.

it is dry clean only, and has no ironing instructions on it,
it is 50% cupro and 50% viscose, lining is 100% acetate


can i iron it and if so how??

thanks

Hang it in the bathroom and run a really really hot bath. Block the door up and the steam shall decrease it nicely.

Used to do it with my number ones, and it worked perfectly.

Hiya joko,
If you have a steam iron that has a button on it that gives bursts of steam, what you can do it put it back on the hanger and steam it that way.....not sure if I'd chance putting the iron directly onto it.

[red~bez]

Oh good idea Wardy......had forgotten about that one x

[pussnboots]

Joe is right for once, steam is the answer.

[Goodsoulette]

I would have suggested the shower but for really bad creases put your iron on full steam and do it through a towel. If you touch that lining with an iron it well melt and your suit would probably melt a bit but definitely go shiny.

What do you mean right for ONCE????.

I may offer different opinion on socio-economic-political-religious or moral standing to yourself, but when it comes to common sense or hard facts, I am probably the best ABer money can buy (if I got paid).

The cheek!

Hi joko

Set a new style and go creased

There is another spray slightly with water and put in the dryer for 5 mins and get it straight out on a hanger. It works on trousers

the problem with brown paper legend is that she could tear the paper easily with the wet steam, suit ..........Borked! unless of course she has some grease proof paper.

hi joko!
i sells suits all days and will give you my technique of a quickie fix.
Uses a damp cloth, hank, linen with the steam iron.
apply cloth on the fabric and steam iron on therm: cotton
wool.
alternative is pressing your suit inside out.Do not use iron direct on the suit as it will leave a shinny mark.
Et voila looking sharp and goooooood again!

[laurencelolo]

secret ? invest on a good suit wool/mix only with elastane.

[joko]

cheers everyone i think damp cloth low iron seem to be the way.
I ended up wearing something else, which seemed ok

i rarely wear a suit, don;t need to in my job.

trouble is legend this is creased in odd places, really bunched up, so are clearly not ''wear'' creases.

i need to iron it anyway, as they are clearly not dropping out by hanging it back up.

do you think a dry cleaners might be able to press it?
it has 3 pieces and will probably take me ages

any idea how much?

[laurencelolo]

Hi joko!
i think that a dry cleaning 3 p suit must be around 12.00� ?
they just hang your suit and uses a steam iron that is all.
In the future invest on a good suit that you will uses for all occasions, weddings, business meetings and the like and insure to buy a mix wool/lycra as it reduce creases and a cover suit to protect it.
you can find excellent suits at the moment below 179.00
good price. Ted baker and ben sherman top quality well cut and ventuno is very smart.

jo is a girl and as lovely as she is, I think she would be more Karen Millen than Ben Sherman.
