How to Fold a Shirt Correctly After Ironing

Each of the sleeves will be folded horizontally in such a way that cuffs cross over the middle of back portion of the shirt. The side seams of a shirt should not be folded at all. The sleeves will be folded two times in such a manner that they meet under the collar forming a “V” shape. The sleeves should not be made to go extra downside.
5. Give the Shirt a Fold:-
After adjusting the sleeves of a shirt, there comes a time to give the shirt a final fold. Let it be case of any shirt, all the shirts are folded in the same manner. We fold them lengthwise holding the bottom portion of shirt with our hands lengthwise. The folded place thus gains a rectangular form with buttons in the mid portion dividing the rectangular shape into two rectangular halves.

After folding your shirt, you can use a hanger to hang it in your wardrobe or you can even match it with a favorite pair of pants placing it in the same folded manner in a portion of your admiral. If you have to reach for an important meeting soon, just keep this folded and ironed shirt ready over your bed to wear after bathing at desired time.
