Crease Free Linen ?

[smurfchops]

Do you think this really works -- especially with linen trousers?? I can't see how rolling up can stop creases more than folding in half. Anyone ??

LInen is supposed to be creased isn't it? You only have to look at linen and it creases. I love it. Shabby chic.

When you fold in half you get a crease running horizontally across your knee.

I put all my long things, trousers, dresses, tunics etc down on the bed and then roll them up in one go. No hard creases and they seem fine after they've been unpacked.

Always roll natural fabrics when packing over a card cylinder if possible a lot less creases

no such thing as crease free linen, wear it for 10 minutes, be it a jacket or trousers and you will look as though you have been sleeping in it.

I've been rolling for ages-it does take up less space...and there is far less chance of creasing.

Well all packed, flat by the way, on saying that, hopefully there will be an iron when we get there ... I love linen but not too creased ...

looking through that slideshow thingy, where's that woman putting her underwear?

Maybe she wears the same pair for four days ... inside out and back to front ....
