Ask Elyse: Liquid Smooth

Dear Elyse,

I have an old pair of black Liquid pants, 97% cotton, 3% spandex. I was told by the salesperson that they were treated to remain permanently wrinkled, and the effect is attractive, but now I would like to smooth them out if possible. Ironing doesn't do it. Any advice?

Many thanks,
Martha

Dear Martha,

If you've ironed your pants, count yourself lucky that they came out alive. With the heat of the iron, the resin that maintains that wrinkled texture runs the risk of melting and disfiguring the jean.

Instead try removing the wrinkles via a steam treatment. This will relax away the wrinkles without harming the integrity of the jean itself, and depending on how strongly the pant has been treated, this should allow the texture to return should you want it back.

Hope this helps,
Elyse
