Re: Pressing Finished Garment Advice Needed

Since so many of you sew professionally, I
know you know how to best press a finished
garment. I have a great pants suit (fitted
blazer jacket & trousers) that has become
crushed in the wardrobe/closet. It is
lightweight polyester, with lining. The
sleeves look awful and I can't seem to get a
nice press in them. Your advice greatly
appreciated!
Thanks, PAT in VA/USA
PS: I'll need to wear it in an hour, not that
I'm rushing you or anything! LOL ;)


Not a professional presser or anything, but my instinct would be to stuff
the arms out with t-shirts or fabric or something and steam gently at a
distance with an upright iron
Hope that helps
