Pressing Trousers
Deat Aunt Daisy, I cannot make a very good job of pressing my husband’s trousers. I have done them with brown paper, a hot iron and putting plenty of pressure on the iron; also the same method with a damp cloth, They look nice until my husband has had them on a little while, then the crease disappears and they look awful. Can any readers give any good tips? "Housewife of Palmerston North." My own. proved method of pressing trousers, or pleats in dresses, is to press over three or four thicknesses of newspaper. The paper supplies sufficient dampness, and we find the creases stay in quite well. Of course, materials differ, and some fabrics seem unable to hold their shape as well as others.
