Hm. You say you 'would expect' this. And I sense that your expectation would
be that this state of affairs would be unacceptable. I wonder if you tried
it (the drying on a rack, and putting the clothes on afterward) and report
back. Most of the world doesn't use clothes dryers and somehow they manage.

I've washed all my laundry cold and dried it on the rack everywhere I've
lived. I've also never ironed anything except, very rarely, a shirt. I don't
go to weddings that often. I suppose I've been missing out all these years,
but honestly I'm not sure what the problem is that you've conjured in your
mind.
