I'm a bit of a laundry demon myself and love good tips. Also love seeing the effects of your new steamer. Brilliant device. I would have to forego clothes shopping for some time to be able to afford one of these. Your paisley shirt and pencil skirt is a combo I wear a lot myself - I think it really suits our shape.

Such an excellent device and you have that backing to get some traction on your fabric - makes all the difference. <br />You guys look like you had so much fun shopping together. And Valentino for $12?! I have some Simon Chang pieces too. Very '80s.

And since we have to drive to everything, what does one do about seat belts and their wrinkling power?

It was fiddley and didn't work well, so was returned. <br /><br />Years ago when a popular ladies store was closing, I asked the same question, everyone did. Are you selling the steamer?
