Tkirk is right!!! Do not put it in the dryer. I don't know what they make these gowns of these days but it is not a natural fiber. I swear it is some kind of a coated plastic. The trick is to hang it on a hanger and place it in your bathroom while the shower is going so that some of the wrinkles steam out.

She is right! But, for future moms of graduates, if bad stubborn wrinkles dare to remain, use an ironing cloth between iron and gown!! Be aware of iron heat. DS ordered plASTIC/NYLON, GRADUATION TYPE MATERIAL FLAGS THAT CAME THRU MAIL WITH MANY FOLD CREASES. Made him iron following my guidance and dry kitchen dish towel and it went fine. Flags now on his wall, very nice. Tape does work for hems, been known to use it on new jeans!! But don't wash!!!!!
