Instead of fighting the wrinkling tendencies embrace it. Use fabrics
like seersucker which are comfortable in the summer but since they
already have less than a crisp appearance should look good for your use.
I remember my mom making me seersucker blouses for summer wear when I
was growing up in Kansas.

I got a sewing machine and some patterns, want to make some shirt
waist and princess style dresses. Since I ride a bicycle, I need
clothes that aren't wrinkled by the time I rode down the street. All
the material I looked at at Hancock and Joanne fabrics and Walmart
wrinkled - except for one particular rack of cotton that the
salespeople could not tell me how it differed from the other cotton.
The cotton-polyester blends were crisper and just as wrinkly.
Most of the synthetic fabrics don't breathe well enough to wear in
Austin in the summer.
Don't they still make permanent press?
How do you locate actual fabric that is wrinkle resistant?
