How do you get wrinkles out of a polyester blouse?

Sometimes just washing according to the label and hanging on a line will allow the wrinkles to fall out. (Don't forget to sweep up the wrinkles afterwards!)

If this doesn't seem to work, it could be that wrinkles have become set in the fabric if the garment has been too densely packed and overheated in the dryer after washing. Polyester is thermoplastic and hygroscopic! So, to remove stubborn wrinkles: # Wash the costume according to the label, even if it is already clean.

# Dry it. # Turn it inside out.

# Using the lowest setting, or the polyester setting, iron it on the 'wrong side', using a damp pressing cloth, starting from the top and working down with a side-to-side sweeping movement. At the more difficult wrinkles, iron by pressing hard and moving slowly. You may have to do this several times. If the wrinkles persist, wet them, either by dabbing the areas with wetted cloth or by wetting them with small amount of water, and allowing it to soak in thoroughly. Then iron the wrinkles while they are in this damp condition. You can iron without a pressing cloth, but you have to be very, very careful! And, to avoid iron marks, never iron the garment on the right side!
