    Community Answer
    An ice cube or steam should still work. Be sure not to get the clothing wet. If you are really worried it'll run, take a roller from the kitchen and tightly roll the shirt against it. Let sit for about five minutes and then flatten out the clothing.

    How do I get wrinkles out of a new sweatshirt?

    I recommend the shower method, it works perfectly for me with hoodies. Be sure to put it on a hanger, though. And once it’s been in there for 15 minutes, gently pull the sweatshirt down to stretch any wrinkles out.

    Make the article of clothing light-to-moderately damp, and then hang it. If the wrinkles are super deep, or you want to ensure chances of success, make some of the homemade wrinkle-releaser from the recipe above (the third approach under Method 1 ‘Using Alternative Means to Remove Wrinkles’). Also, hang something lightly weighted from the bottom of the article, as the article suggests. With any stretchy materials, you want to do your best to even distribute the weight. Not too heavy! 2 pounds tops.
