How to Iron a Button-up Shirt

Gather the required materials below or the substitutes if needed and straighten out the wrinkles that everyone dreads.

Ironing board(Or flat surface and towel)

Iron

Starch(to stiffen fabrics)

Shirt of choice

Try to give yourself a bit of space to do this.

For a dress shirt made of cotton, it will need a higher heat to reform shape. However, a shirt made of synthetic materials will need a lower heat to reform.

Lay shirt on ironing board (unbuttoned). Unfold collar and press the collar with the iron.

Lay the front of the shirt down on the ironing board. (Either side is fine) Move the iron outwards from the center, towards the hemming of the fabric.

Switch the side of the shirt when confident that the side ironed in the previous step is free of creases. Repeat on current side.

Place one sleeve on the board and press down with the iron from the shoulder of the sleeve to the hand opening. Repeat step on remaining sleeve.

Place half of the back of the shirt on the ironing board and press the iron down from the collar to the bottom.

Place the other half of the back of the shirt on the ironing board and continue to press the iron down the back of the shirt.

Now you're done!!
