How to Press a Wedding Dress
- 1). Pick up the wedding dress a few days before the wedding. If you pick it up a few weeks before, there is a greater chance that it will get wrinkled. The dress store will press or steam the dress for you.
- 2). Keep the dress in the cardboard and tissue that the wedding store packed it in. This will keep the dress in a perfect shape before you wear it, and reduce wrinkles.
- 3). Press the dress lightly on the day of the wedding in wrinkled areas, if needed. Use a cool, dry iron.
- 4). Put a piece of white cloth between the iron and the dress when pressing, and use an iron mitt rather than an ironing board.
