It usually isn't hard to get access to an iron while travelling. Since you've been wearing linen all summer, you know the drill!

Then I fill with water and hang up and spray wrinkled garments when I arrive. The shower trick is good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-packing-linen-clothing#post-2057263 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 19:58:36 +0000 bj1111 2057263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roll then steam when you shower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-packing-linen-clothing#post-2057255 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 19:40:05 +0000 notsaf 2057255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had luck packing pieces in dry cleaner's plastic (without hangers, laid as flat as possible with one or two folds, like a garment bag), but am not sure about linen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-packing-linen-clothing#post-2057251 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 19:27:20 +0000 smittie 2057251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try rolling them around other items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-packing-linen-clothing#post-2057240 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 18:22:22 +0000 The Cat 2057240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wrap linen clothes in silk paper, or put silk scarves between the layers. (Or try using soft thin tees etc. instead.) And upon arrival, hang them in a damp bathroom. If necessary, borrow an iron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-packing-linen-clothing#post-2057238 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 18:08:18 +0000 hereforthecake 2057238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm leaving in 2 days for 2 weeks in Spain, where it's still very much summer temps. I've been wearing various linen dresses and pants all summer, and plan to take those.</p> <p>However, as much as I am willing to embrace the inevitable wrinkles, I would love to find a way to minimize the wrinkles from packing.</p> <p>Am I hoping for too much, or does anyone have tips? </p>
