good to know you don't waste time ironing socks & underwear! Now all you need to do is slowly replace the difficult stuff with easy iron stuff as they need it. If you suddenly come into lots of money you could replace them immediately!

I have lots of silk shirts (long & short sleeved) that have to be ironed, but as I have over 20 it isn't weeekly! I was taught to iron the collar first, then the body, next the cuffs & sleeves, finally the yoke, then put them on padded coathangers (never thin metal drycleaners wire hangers) and not allow them to get squashed by other clothes. Well, as I have 20+ shirts, that bit is not the easiest so I just try to put the sleeves across the body anytime I close the doors! And ignore the creases.

As to the more shapely female stuff, JennyO might be able to help there as she was once a professional ironing person!
