Ironing a Shirt

Achieve a wrinkle-free shirt in five minutes or less by following these simple directions.

• Collar: Start with the underside of the collar and then work your way from each point back to the center.
• Yoke: This is a very important area to conquer for a wrinkle-free shirt. Smooth the yoke by slipping one shoulder over the narrow end of the board, ironing from the shoulder to the center of the back. Now do the same on the yoke's other side.
• Cuffs: Make them look sharp by ironing the inside first, then work the outside.
• Sleeves: Press the body of each sleeve starting with the cuff-opening side, then the reverse side.
• Body: Last but certainly not least, iron the shirt body, beginning with one front panel and continuing to the other.
• Collar: Once the entire shirt is done, go back and press the top of the collar again.
