Ironing shirts

[bigfoot3000]

Is there a way to fold an ironed shirt whilst traveling so that it remains wearable?

[ummmm]

Sort of....

But I don't think I'm going to be able to describe it....

Thanks anyway as at least I know now there's hope and my search isn't futile!

Cheers chuck but I meant several work shirts to be ironed and then stored in a suitcase in a way that I can just pull out and wear.

[ummmm]

Turn it face down....fold in the shoulder seem so it's close to the collar. Fold sleeve down the side of the shirt. Then fold the bottom of the shirt over....so you kinda have a sqare. Turn it over.

Or...go into a quality clothes shop and mess up their folded shirts and watch them re=fold them.

Button up the front of the shirt - Put it on a flat surface, bed or a large table, so the whole of the shirt is on the surface back down. Cross the arms in fron of the shirt, the turn the cuffs back towards the shoulders, so that all of the arms are in the upper half of the shirt (I hope tha makes sense) don't crease just lightly fold. Then take the bottom of the shirt and fold it up to the top of the collar. You now should have a shirt that you cannot see the sleeves or collar, take this as it is and put it on top of the suit case put a towel on top. When you reach your destination take it out of the suitcase and hang it up straight away.

Dont fold them apart from the sleeves ( fold back from the shoulder line) then roll the shirt and lay the resulting sausage in the case ideally use a layer of tissue like the filling in a swiss roll

I agree with rolling (!) Apparently flight attendants roll their clothes and they should know! I do the same now and it works better than folding - fewer or no creases.

[bigfoot3000]

Thanks everyone it sounds like the rolling method makes more sense as creases come from being folded so no folding no/limited creases. Ill let you know how it went.

roll, but put something inside it like a jumper or long sleeved top and button up apart from collar button - fleece's inside work really well - then when you roll or even fold it, it is padded so doesn't crease.

Will do, cheers annie!

'Rolling' is what I used to do when travelling on business. Then, when I'd checked into my hotel room, I would run a bath of all hot water and hang my shirts from the shower rail. Any creases would drop out after 1/2 hour. Tip make sure the shower rail is secure!
