Simply ironing a man's shirt

     It seems like nobody buys shirts for men that need to be ironed or they just don't iron them at all.  You would want your man to look sharp, neat and professional wouldn't you?  If the tag on the shirts you buy says that no ironing is needed, they lie.  It looks so much better ironed. 
     It only takes two minutes to iron one shirt!  Follow these directions and you'll be throwing them off the ironing board!  Your man will be so proud and you will be so proud of how he looks!

First, iron the collar.  Use steam.  Sometimes I splurge and buy ironing water.  It smells so wonderful.

 

Next, you iron the sleeves.  Lay them flat.  Do the side with the vent and the buttons first.  Some people iron the cuffs by flattening them out first.  I just iron them like this along with sleeve, sliding my iron over them.

When flattening the sleeve, make sure the bottom of the sleeve is flat along the bottom seam line.

 

 Before doing the body of the shirt, I iron the top yoke of the shirt along the back, standing the collar up.

 

 Now iron the body of the shirt.  Start with the fronts and then the entire back.  There is usually a pleat in the back of the shirt, you should iron it down so it has a nice crisp look.

Last note, when ironing the front, iron between the buttons. 

There you go!  A beautifully ironed shirt.  The smell of the ironing water in the air (lavender is my favorite) and it really only took a short amount of time!
