@Fribwl I agree w/ @wagirl . Linen is supposed to be wrinkled. You're paying for those wrinkles. Lol. I think that blazer was a linen blend w/ another fabric, so may not wrinkle as badly. I'm sure there's care instructions on the inside label. Just don't put it in the dryer no matter what they say.

I love and live in linen all summer. Wrinkles, bring 'em on, it's the look. If wrinkles bother you then linen is not for you. I wash mine and hang to dry. I steam if needed, but they are going to wrinkle as worn.

Linen is difficult to wash and iron. The first sitting and the wrinkles will appear. The worst linen blend is linen/cotton. I bought a linen/cotton skirt and it was murder to iron. I could have spent hours ironing that skirt and it would still be wrinkled.

It's not 100% linen which would look like a huge wrinkled mess. It's a blend of 55% linen & 45% rayon. Hoepfully it will be easy to take care of. I ordered the olive.

If it gets too wrinkled, I'll steam it a bit.

A couple of days ago I purchased Peace Love World Blazer. (A647721). I have never gotten anything that was made of Linen. How do I care for it? Want to start out wearing it with no wrinkles. Do you suggest wash (cold water) dry in dryer for a while and then hang to fully dry and then iron OR bring to cleaners? Thanks for your advice.

i just started a thread about the blazer! i ordered last night, missed out on the blue cloud, so ordered the black! hope it fits well, i hate to return, due to cost.!! fingers crossed!!

i will follow the label and since it is a blend, it should not wrinkle as much....

@haddon9 , Can't wait to get this Blazer. I know that it will wrinkle . I think for starters, I will bring to cleaners. I realize that as soon as I put it on, it will wrinkle. Lol. It looked so nice on Amy, that I could not resist. I like the length. If I like the Gray Moon, I might go back for French Mauve. Yikes, there goes my budget! Lol

Thank you all for your advice.
