You have now entered the twilight zone. Please apply steam and press lightly.
After noticing the undeniable difference between Julia's washed-and-worn pinnies and the neatly pressed ones on her classmates, I have just bowed to the pressures of conformity and spent an inordinately long period of time ironing my daughter's school uniforms.
Ironing, yes. Me.
Grey flannel pleated pinafores. Yes, I said pleated.
No, as a matter of fact, I don't iron. How ever did you guess? (Something tells me, the teachers will be able to guess as well.)
This private school thing just gets more and more surreal...

I'm sorry. So, so sorry.
Can I send you some bon bons?

I don't iron, either, preferring instead the "I just sat on an airplane for 12 hours" look.
And pleats? Oh my word.
Good luck...
Pleats? Ironed? Have you a dry cleaner handy?
My heavens. What C said - I'm sorry.
Ugh, so, so sorry. I second what Liesl said about a dry cleaner :) I so do not iron.
I do not iron.
For Hanukkah, my husband bought me a clothes steamer. (He asked first, since it was an odd present. I said I never would've thought of it, but yes, I'd love one. He knew I hated ironing.)
I can't tell you how much I love having this. I never iron, but I can fix my wrinkled clothes without using the not terribly effective toss-in-a-dryer-with-something-damp trick.
This isn't a little hand-held steamer. It's a big, freestanding thingamajig. Take a look and see if you could use one.
I think the steamer we have may be this one:
