I love to wear silk and linen, so I DO iron things for dress occaisions. I graduated HS in 55 and never took a home ec course (I taught myself to cook when I was about 7th grade and did all family dinners from then on). I now use all my old “bigshirts” of silk just to keep warm around the house and garden so they have become “wash and wear”. I went to a 4 hour outdoor event today and the high was predicted @61F so I wore a heavy silk knit short sleeved shirt with a woven silk big shirt and a hooded cape of good silk noile lined with polyester to break the wind (because it was so windy that my hair was in knots when we got home) but aside from the wind, I was fine.
