Thread: Wrinkly lycra?

What do you do if a lycra skirt gets wrinkly? Can you hang it in a steamy bathroom and let the wrinkles fall out?

I'm asking out of curiosity as I don't wear lycra skirts myself but I notice in some costume pix the lycra looks wrinkled.

Our ballroom dance dresses were for the most part lycra and yes, we spent a lot of time steaming them to get wrinkles out......either bathroom method or hand steamer.....

I fluff my L Rose lycra skirts in the dryer.

I learned the hard way that an iron can get too hot, which is bad (luckily the burn spot was at the bottom in the back and not noticeable under lights.) I do still occasionally use an iron but I put a (clean) flour sack dish towel between the iron and the costume, which protects the fabric. I'm not sure about the long term effects of ironing but I only do it in a pinch.

I use a bottle of water with a sprayer and let it hang dry, in my climate that takes about 2 second..but the wrinkle is gone.
