I’m traveling abroad for succos iyh and I don’t know how my summer cotton clothes stay straight in the suit case. I have it in cleaner bags but it still comes out semi creased.

Even when I’m there how do I straighten out my clothing after the wash. At home I Iron. I don’t think I have access to one there. Is a steamer a solution. -anyone can help me out please?

Many hotels have irons. Amazon sells excellent travel steamers. You’ll need an adapter

Dry cleaning bags!!!

ETA that I have tried this multiple times when traveling to Israel for yontif
Even my linen material dresses and skirts were as fresh pressed as straight from the dry cleaner

Never tried it, but I've read once that if it's rolled up (in cleaners bag I think) it won't get creased.

A friend Folded everything in neat piles and shrink wrapped each pile. Huge job but she said it worked

Not a steam iron. A steamer

I pack my delicate stuff in a suit bag and then fold it in half, put it in the middle and close the suitcase like that so it stays in the center (makes it easier space wise and the plus size is till always have hangers).

If needed a hotel should have an iron but if your not going to a hotel then the house your staying in should have either way…

There are videos on YouTube. You lay flat lost of paper, lay clothes flat on it, lay more paper in it then roll. Make sure no part of the fabric is touching any other fabric only paper. Works a charm.
