Linen is notorious for wrinkling, and in an odd way, that's part of its charm. Casual linen pieces can be washed at home in the washer and dryer, and is recommended, because the more linen is washed, the softer, more absorbent and more luminous it becomes.
For the most part linen jackets, suits, and dresses should be dry cleaned to keep their inner construction (facings, lining, shoulder pads, etc.) intact. And dry cleaning restores linen's crisp shape and finish.
However before you wash linen be sure to check the label to see if it is mixed with other fibers; always iron linen when it is damp; and finally avoid folding linen as the wrinkles are unsightly and very hard to remove.
