Sometimes just washing according to the label and hanging on a line will allow the wrinkles to fall out. (Don't forget to sweep up the wrinkles afterwards!)

If this doesn't seem to work, it could be that wrinkles have become set in the fabric if the garment has been too densely packed and overheated in the dryer after washing. Polyester is thermoplastic and hygroscopic! So, to remove stubborn wrinkles: # Wash the costume according to the label, even if it is already clean.

# Dry it. # Turn it inside out.

# Using the lowest setting, or the polyester setting, iron it on the 'wrong side', using a damp pressing cloth, starting from the top and working down with a side-to-side sweeping movement. At the more difficult wrinkles, iron by pressing hard and moving slowly. You may have to do this several times. If the wrinkles persist, wet them, either by dabbing the areas with wetted cloth or by wetting them with small amount of water, and allowing it to soak in thoroughly. Then iron the wrinkles while they are in this damp condition. You can iron without a pressing cloth, but you have to be very, very careful! And, to avoid iron marks, never iron the garment on the right side!

First, wash and dry it normally, according to the care instructions on the tag. Do this even if it's clean. You want to iron just after removing it from the dryer.

Polyester must be ironed very carefully! Always iron from the wrong side and always use a pressing cloth so that the iron never comes into contact with the polyester. Keep the iron on the "poly" setting.

For the stubborn, "set-in" creases, use a damp pressing cloth. Be patient and use pressure, but do not increase the heat. Iron from the top to the bottom of the garment in a side to side motion.

If this doesn't seem to be working, try spraying a solution of white vinegar and water onto the crease/s. (You may want to spot-test this first in an inconspicuous area, if the garment is really old.) Iron with your damp pressing cloth again.

An alternative is to wash or wet the garment and hang it to dry on a clothesline, hoping the weight of the wet garment will help to pull the wrinkles out. Check on this frequently as it dries to be sure it is hanging appropriately so that you do not create more wrinkles. However, these mild wrinkles will be much easier to iron out than creases that have been "set" from packaging or storage.
