Good stuff / Bad stuff

[amethyst73]

Good thing:  My outfit from Talbots came yesterday!

Bad thing:  There are serious creases in the lined linen skirt from, well, having been folded and shipped cross-country.  Dear interwebs, how do I deal with this?  Can I just iron it, or (because it's dry clean only) must I take it to a dry cleaner to be properly pressed?

Good thing: I just went ahead and bought a copy of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth today!

Bad, completely unrelated thing: Someone, probably one or more squirrels, have completely denuded our cherry tree of fruit.  Sigh.

Good thing: Almost the weekend!

Bad thing:  Nothing bad to see here.  Please move along.  :)  (EDIT: Oh wait.  Allergies and pollen.  Pollen comes right through our open windows; we don't live in an AC/filtered air building.)

Honestly, I usually just hang wrinkled linen skirts and pants in the bathroom and take a long hot shower. :)

I'd guess that the ironability (heh) of your skirt would depend on what the lining is and whether the linen is 100% or a blend.

Oh, dangit, that reminds me, I was going to hang my wrinkly shirt in the bathroom while I showered this morning. Oooops... perhaps some local can lend me an iron so I don't look too scruffy for reunion...

And just to say something slightly on topic, yeah, if the lining is something with a lower melting temperature than linen's ironing temperature (high), this might be a problem. :-/

The linen is 100%; I think the lining is cotton but will have to check. I'll try the shower thing, thanks!
