Strange, but not every young woman of fashion knows how to starch fabric, and for what it is generally necessary. Meanwhile, it is this method that makes it possible to return the original fresh appearance to the product. In this article, we'll look at how to starch the dress step by step.
How correctly to starch things?
First of all, let's dwell on why the linen and clothes are starched. First, starching makes the fabric more rigid and dense, which prevents it from rapidly losing shape. As a result, your clothes become fresh and its original appearance returns. All decorative cuffs, laces or ruffles are also transformed and become as new.
Before starching the dress , you must determine the required degree. There are three options: soft, medium or hard. Here everything depends on the concentration of starch and your goals.
Now consider step by step how to correctly starch things:
- We erase clothes and remove all stains from it;
- in enameled dishes dilute with cold water a teaspoon of starch (this concentration for soft starching) to the consistency of sour cream;
- To starch the fabric, we dilute this mixture with boiling water as carefully as possible so that there are no lumps;
- as soon as the solution has cooled, it's time to starch the dress: just drop the thing into it and then settle it, hang it out to dry.
That after such processing things did not stick to the iron, you should add a couple drops of turpentine to the solution. Things after starching will shine, if you add there a teaspoon of salt.

If it is a question of a wedding dress, then only the skirt or a skirt is starched, with the children's festive dresses are similar.
