(i'm not safe with hot dangerous utensils)
she has to have this dress by this afternoon. will it work?I have to press a dress for my daughters ';living museum'; project...can I use a flat iron for hair?
I doubt that will work on an entire dress.... I use my flat iron for the cuff of my jeans from time to time....
Worst case, just toss it in the dryer with two dry bath towels and 1 damp wash cloth... works like a charm!I have to press a dress for my daughters ';living museum'; project...can I use a flat iron for hair?
It would depend on the material - if it's cotton (and therefore can stand a higher heat) I would probably try it depending on if I thought it was worth risking it.
I remember my mum saying she used a flat iron to try to straighten her hair when she was a teenager and it just burnt it. So I'd assume that hair-straighteners are less hot than an iron and so shouldn't burn the dress?
If I were you I'd test it out on a bit of cloth first - maybe a tea towel? Then go from there. Sorry I couldn't have been more help; but I'd be interested to know what you end up doing!
i would take it to the dry cleaners......they will charge extra for a one hour job but its worth it......in a quick pinch i have placed a garment and smoothed it out onto an electric blanket on the highest setting and then folded the blanket over it and placed pillows over top of it....not the best iron job but it looked 100% better.....see how resourceful we are?
if someone in your house has a shower or a bath today, hang it up in the bathroom whilst the rooms still steamy and the steam will get rid of most wrinkles in it.
u will burn it...take it to a dry cleaners..much safer...too bad she needs it today
