Steaming them should work. I think they use this method in stores, etc. when they get clothes in; they also do this in some clothes-cleaning services. I don't know this information for sure, but I am pretty sure that it should work.

Sorry if i say trousers everyone looks at me like WAHHH! :eek:

So about this steaming do i just hold them up and press the steam button on the iron?

I don't know really.

I think you might need a special machine, however, I'm sure if you put them in a room with the shower on, this would create steam.

Don't iron them. Go for the creased look

(hey it's easier

)

And no, you can buy steamers, it's basically a big kettle with a hose on it. We use them in work for photoshoots.

Hang them above the kettle and direct the steam up the legs of the trousers, works for me anyway lol

All you can do is iron the large flat bits, then drag the waist & pockets over the end of the ironing board , iron the bit you can get to then rotate. Don't worry, after 5 minutes of wearing, they'll sort themselves out.

My God. I never thought I'd be giving ironing advice over the tinternet.

have you tried ironing them inside out :cool:

Ironing is for noobs.
Everyone knows you fold them while they're damp and they dry without creases!

Stick them on a hanger in the bathroom.

Turn the shower on at maximum heat.

Close all windows & doors.

Return after 30 minutes, creases gone.
