Need help with drying my 7yo DD's gypsy-style crinkly skirt--never looks good to me?

in Old style MoneySaving
It's not the usual style where it has several tiers sewn together.
It's straight down all the way around apart from a dropped waistband at the front only.
I have twisted it when wet and then let it dry naturally whereas my mum has decided to iron the whole thing before now but neither looks right to me...
Anyone got any ideas? :o:D
You should never call somebody else a nerd or geek because everybody (even YOU !!!) is an
"anorak" about something whether it's trains, computers, football, shoes or celebs :p :rotfl:

    I have a similar skirt and several tops too. I twist them and then tie in a knot, leave in airing cupboard overnight then untwist, retwist the other way and leave to finish drying.

    Hope that helps :)
    Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!

    Try feeding it through a length of old tights leg - it scrunches it up without putting a kink in it and the air can get to it better than with a knot
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!
