If bimetallic fibres were woven into fabric so that cloth flattens at slightly above room temperature then clothes would straighten and flatten themselves out once taken from a hot dryer and separated.

It's the precursor to self-folding clothes, but ya gotta start somewhere. |

Use nitinol wires, with the "set" point at approximately skin
temp. So it doesn't matter how you store them after
washing, they'll go crisp & perfect once you put them on. |

Nice find [xav]. I looked and all I could find was Memory Velcro. [link] |

In cooler weather would they curl you up into a croissant? |

|
//clothes would straighten and flatten themselves out// Why would anyone want that? "crumpled is the new smart" etc. |

This is a completely halfbaked idea - therefore it's
approved and a croissant fragment awarded. |

//self ironing// reminds me of when I was a child, having to iron my boy-scouts uniform and especially the colourful scarf, before putting it on to go to the boy-scouts meeting. I remember thinking it would be neater if I ironed it after putting it on. I burned my chin with the iron trying to iron the scarf. |

[pocmloc]; trying to iron yourself - you could get burned
AND scalded at the same time! |
|
|
Well I used to iron my hair when I was 14 because
I wanted it to be perfectly straight! |
|
|
I dont have a clothes dryer, but I like the idea. |
