Three Steps to get the wrinkles out of your gown and stole:
1. Place the gown on a hanger. Do this as soon as you remove it from its cellophane packaging to avoid getting more wrinkles and creases in it. Ideally, you should hang it up several days before your ceremony, not the morning of so that you have enough time to de-wrinkle it without feeling rushed or stressed. (Use a padded or wooden hanger rather than a wire hanger, which can catch and snag the fabric of the gown)
2. Hang the gown from your shower rod in the bathroom. Make sure that the shower head is angled away from the gown. Test the direction of the shower spray to ensure your gown won't accidentally be splashed.
3. Run the water on hot for 15-20 minutes. The steam created will de-wrinkle the gown. Stretch and tug on the fabric once in a while during this process to help ease out the creases. Keep the bathroom door closed to trap the steam inside and create a sauna effect.
