Here's a friendly reminder NOT to put a hot iron onto your graduation gown or put it into the dryer. They have a tendency to melt. You will need to take it out of the bag and let it hang as soon as possible. You can use a press cloth and LOW heat to remove the wrinkles or take it to Mills Cleaners. They will steam it out for free.
