Instructions
Use a hand steamer, if you have one or can borrow one. Be sure to hold the steamer far enough away from the dress's fabric to ensure water does not get on your formal.
Use your shower. Turn the hot water on full force. Close curtains or doors, unless the shower does not vent out the top. If not, leave curtains or door slightly open.
Hang your formal in the bathroom away from water so fabric will not get wet. Ensure that the fabric is not touching the floor or any surfaces that may "sweat" and transfer moisture during the steaming process.
Close bathroom door and allow the 2012 evening dress to steam. Check after five minutes. Depending on how wrinkled your dress is and the volume of steam and level of heat your shower produces, this may take 15 to 30 minutes.
