How to steam and stroke a wedding dress at home?

Wedding is a solemn event, which is incredibly important for every girl. This day a lot of bright events take place, it is extremely fussy and rich in impressions. When it is necessary to smooth and tidy up a wedding dress, women start to panic, because this is a rather difficult task. But this care for a seemingly difficult piece of clothing is not too complicated, you just need to know about some aspects.

The wedding dress must be smoothed out if it is wrinkled during transportation, is prepared for sale or storage, and also after the item is washed. It is important to remember that not every fabric can carry ironing with an ordinary iron. If it is dense (for example, gabardine or viscose), then the iron is unlikely to cope with smoothing things.

Most of these outfits have a wide variety of rhinestones, beads and lace. The areas in which they are located are quite difficult to smooth out, eliminating irregularities. The most effective and easiest option is steaming, which allows you not to worry about the fact that the fabric may be damaged. This method without any problems relieves the dress from bumps in five to seven minutes.

There are several options for steaming dresses at home: steam, a steamer and an ordinary iron with wet gauze.

To rid the wedding outfit of bumps with steam, you must first fill the bath with hot water. The dress is placed on a coat hanger, and then located above the water at a height of twenty-five centimeters.After the folds are smoothed out, you need to hang it for three to four hours, so that it is completely dry. How long the outfit will be smoothed depends on the density of the fabric. This method has some disadvantages:

• When steam penetrates the fibers of the fabric, it becomes heavier, absorbing a large amount of moisture. Because of this, the dress may fall into the water. Care must be taken to ensure that this does not happen.
• If there is an abundance of various strasses on the outfit, it is better not to use a similar method, since they can come off.
• The method is a bad option for a dress made of heavy material, as well as for dresses with lush multilayer skirts.

• Liquid is poured into a special container in the device. Then you need to turn on the steamer.
• The outfit is placed on the shoulders to make it easier to smooth.
• The steaming process starts from the lower tiers. Steam must first process large sections of the product, and then smaller elements.
• After the end of the process, leave the outfit suspended for three to five hours.

This method is used if the hostess does not have a steamer. It is risky enough, because if you are not too careful and inattentive, you can ruin the dress. On the iron, the correct mode is selected (which depends on what fabric the outfit is made of). It is best to use a minimum temperature so as not to harm clothing. Before starting the process, it is necessary to clean the sole of the iron well, as it should be as clean as possible. In order for the dress to smooth out well and not to deteriorate, you need to put several layers of gauze fabric and iron it from the inside out.
