I have two rules of dressing. 1. I wear nothing that needs to be ironed or dry cleaned. 2. Everything I wear has to be as comfortable as a pair of pajamas. Hence I never wear pants with zippers only pull on pants. Never tuck anything in.
I recently bought a rayon span tunic that was As is and it was wrinkled. I put it in my dryer dry, and put in a small handtowel (similar in color) that I had wet with water so it was damp. I put the dryer on perma press for ten minutes and when I took it out all the wrinkles were gone. I hung on a huggable hanger. If I put it in the closet and let it get scrunched but other clothes it will probably wrinkle again but I can spin it again. This way I never have to pull out an iron. This trick works for many different kinds of clothes.
I only make exceptions to my rule for things like special occasions like weddings and such but even then I wear comfortable.

@toria This was asked not too long ago. Read this thread:

I don't remember the last time I used an iron, it has to be 15+ years. I use Joy's My Little Steamer anytime I need to get a wrinkle out. Fabulous! I have the full size and a mini size that goes with me.

I haven't ironed since 1973. This old school trick still works......
Run HOT WATER shower until bathroom is well steamed. Hang wrinkled clothes in the steamed bathroom. Approximately 30 min - 1 hr, wrinkles fall out.
SIDEBAR: Before retiring, I use to have the cleaners iron my clothes. They charged $1 an item to iron.
I miss Chinese laundries.

This is coming from a senior citizen, but ironing is my absolute favorite thing to do under the category of housework. Even better since I purchased a Rowenta some years ago. I find it relaxing and calming. No idea why!!

The suggestions in that thread are not quite what I am saying...this item was dry and wrinkled. I just spun it in a dryer for ten minutes with a damp cloth. I also know the trick about hanging in the bathroom and letting it steam but my bathroom is large and does not get steamy enough to get the wrinkles out. I also have joy's steamer but its just another thing to drag out and put away.

Well then it sounds like you'll need to live with wrinkles.
I use the Rowenta travel-sized steamer. I keep it on my bathroom counter - it fills with plenty of water to steam out two garments.; No need to "drag it out and put it away."
Sorry all our suggestions were either worthless or too much trouble.

@toria Well, you did a great job of shooting down everyone's suggestions for you without so much as a "thank you". to anyone for at least making the effort to help you.
So welcome.
