For ironing-go military!

Blanket on table, lay kilt out so all pleats waist lining etc are exactly in place, with outside of kilt to be ironed-cover with damp cloth-then iron.

I work fast with a very hot iron and it works well-just make sure that carefully laid out pleats do no get disturbed when ironing. Further keep iron moving, but with a bit of weight behind it-this presses well and ensures kilt not scorched.

Hang for half an hour before wearing.

However if you want to survive-do not use partner's highly polished table.
