Many people have questions about pressing/steaming gowns once they receive them, and the best advice I have is this: if you have to ask how to do it, then you should probably have someone else take care of it! Most people who do alterations will also press/steam the gown for you. If you’re determined to do it yourself, here are a few things to keep in mind (I’m not an expert on garment care, so this is mostly common sense ): There will be information on the tag- so read the tags on the dress very carefully! Often it is easiest to just press the gown, using a cloth to protect the fabric. Some fabrics will get spots if you steam them or get water on them (most taffetas for instance), so be sure to check that out. Also, it helps a lot just to hang the dress up properly, and for most veils all you should need to do is hang it up- any creases will fall out with a little time.
