5.2 Full Garments
Full garments, such as dresses and skirts can be steamed from the
inside by touching the nozzle on to material and steaming outwards.
Caution is required as steam can build up inside the garment and get
extremely hot. Steaming from the inside reduces the possibility of
adding creases and opens up gathers; bringing dresses back to life.
5.3 Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses should not be hung on the pole set as their weight
can make the steamer unstable and topple over. They are best steamed
hanging from a rail or, ideally, using a plastic chain attached to a hook in
the ceiling. This allows the dress to be hung at different heights on the
chain so the lower parts of the dress and the train can be steamed with
ease. Steam the dress in sections, starting with the underskirt.
creases and to shape collars.
If steaming at a low level, regularly lift hose up so condensation can be
allowed to run back into the steamer.
Never steam clothes whilst
they are being worn by a
person.
Use extreme caution when
operating the appliance.
Steam can burn.
