Can graduation robes be ironed?

Take it to a cleaners. Most are to delicate, I wouldn’t chance it.

Have you tried hanging it in the bathroom while you take a nice, long, hot shower? That should shake some of the wrinkles. Beyond that, if you think it is delicate, you can always iron it between some other stuff—so, like, put a washcloth on top and iron away. That will let you iron without putting the heat source directly on the robes.

Edited to change: Um, obviously a washcloth is tiny and would make ironing difficult, but you see what I was doing there, yes?

If you use the Silk setting on the iron you should be ok. This is the lowest temp setting.

Another thing you can do is use a pressing cloth between the iron and the robe. You could use any fairly light material for a press cloth, even something like a pillowcase.

Yes, but do not apply the iron directly to the fabric, or it may melt. I placed my robe on the ironing board, covered the robe with a pillow case, and then applied the iron. This method effectively removed the wrinkles.

Update: I ironed the robe with some cloth between it and the iron, and it turned out great.
Thanks to all for your advice!

So when is your graduation?

Congrats.
