When a wedding dress is riddled with wrinkles it is a great idea to take the dress to the dry cleaners for a professional steam. Many times, however, it is not possible to use a professional steam-cleaning service. Luckily it is quite simple to get wrinkles out of a wedding dress–for free–at home. Since wedding dresses are frequently very light in color and are assembled from very delicate materials, it is important to use this method to avoid any stains or burns in the fabric.
Step One
Hang the wedding dress on the back of a bathroom door, adjusting it so that it lies as flat as possible.
Step Two
Close the bathroom door and run a steaming-hot tub. The idea is that the bathroom should be filled with a thick blanket of steam.
Step Three
Grab the two towels and cover your exposed arms completely. This will prevent any sweat from being passed on to the wedding dress.
Step Four
Flatten out the wrinkles with your towel-covered hands. Tug slightly at the hems to soften large wrinkles. Run hands over the smaller wrinkles repeatedly until all the wrinkles disappear.
Step Five
Check for any additional wrinkles on all sides of the wedding dress. Once the wrinkles are gone, drain the tub.
Step Six
Hang the dress neatly from a cloth hanger and away from all other items to prevent any additional wrinkles.
