I'm using some fabrics this year on my dresses that I'm afraid might wrinkle when packed for camping. Does anyone know a good way to freshen the fabric and get the wrinkles out when electricity for irons isn't available?

Downy Wrinkle releaser works quite well.

An old school iron with hot coals will work too. I have been guilty of ironing my kilt with one. Just spray whatever it is with water for steam.

Just a warning - if you have any fragrance problems like I do, Downy Wrinkle Releaser may land you in a hospital bed instead of at Faire!  I can't even be within several feet of someone who has used it.  (Admittedly, I am hyper-sensitive to fragrances and chemicals.)

For those of you who choose to use it and don't know how you would live without it - did you know you can make your own?  Buy a cheap spray bottle fill it most of the way with water and add a couple of teaspoons/tablespoons of regular Downy fabric softener.  Spray clothes lightly, let dry, and you're good to go.  (Too bad I can't use that trick anymore.)
