Ironing shirts may not be everyone’s favorite activity. However, it is still important to learn the techniques and steps to ensure maximum efficiency and best outcome. For the groom and groom party member, follow these steps to get a wrinkle free shirt.
Step1: Working with a damp shirt, start at the collar, ironing the underside from ends to center. Repeat on front.
Step2: Iron the inside of a cuff, then the inside of the cuff placket and the lower inside portion of the sleeve, above the cuff. Iron the outside of the cuff. Repeat on other sleeve.
Step3: Hook one shoulder over the wide end of the board, and iron from the yoke (where the collar meets the shoulder) to the center of the shirt’s back. Repeat on the other shoulder.
Step4: Lay one sleeve on the board, and iron from shoulder to cuff; then iron the other side. Repeat on other sleeve.
Step5 Iron the reverse side of the placket, and then the front and back panels of the shirt. Finally touch up the collar if necessary.
