Got Shirty

drummerwes81 asked:


I have some really nice button-up dress shirts that I bought from Express and I’ve noticed that after I wash them, the tips of the collars always seem to curl downwards. I try and iron them back to shape, but that doesn’t seem to fix them back to the shape they were. I dry them in the dryer for about 2 minutes to get the bulk of the water out of them, and then hang them to dry.

Any suggestions? Also, my darker colored shirts seem to always fade out, even when I let them air dry. Any suggestions on how to keep them darker and looking new?

Thanks

Anyway, yeah, Pit stains on my dress shirts. Not really noticeable since I wear a blazer over the shirt, but sometimes it does get hot and I’d like to take the blazer off. Anyway, these stains have been there for a good while. Any way to get old pit stains out of clothes?

Baking soda, white vinegar? Both?
Something else?

P.S. asked:


Basically, all of the straight edges get this ugly, annoying wavy effect . The worst is the front edge of the shirt, where the buttons are and is the first thing you see when the shirt is being worn.
It’s usually not formal dress shirts, but all of the other more casual button-up shirts. Ironing doesn’t help. It seems be be caused by washing.
How can i prevent or cure this?
