Caring for your wardrobe

Love Linen but Hate Wrinkles?

  • Look for linen blends -- fabrics that combine linen with other fabrics, such as rayon -- to keep wrinkling to a minimum.
  • Ask your dry cleaner to use extra starch when laundering your linen pieces. Your linens may be a bit stiff when you first put them on but as you wear them, they will relax a bit.
  • Consider purchasing a professional steamer at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is easy to use and takes only a few minutes to remove the wrinkles. (Wish they had something comparable for aging skin.)
  • If you want your linens to come out of the suitcase relatively wrinkle-free, fold them in plastic, dry-cleaning bags or in "packing envelopes" by Eagle Creek, which you can purchase at The Container Store or on line at http://www.eaglecreek.com.
  • Wrinkle Releaser by Downey claims to remove wrinkles from clothing without the need of an iron http://spraytugsmooth.com

"My husband travels quite often on business and I purchased an Eagle Creek "packing envelope" for him as a gift. He loves not having to iron all his shirts when he arrives at the hotel. He was so sold on the concept, we got one for our son when he was starting to travel on business. Thanks, Lynne."

“Instead of being frazzled with indecision when packing, I was able to pack everything Lynne selected and feel confident. I had what I needed and wanted and felt stylish to boot. Her help is invaluable.”
