I've recently picked up a tuxedo shirt for a steal ($4.50) at a used clothing store. It's not ideal but it fits and has ruffles (And it was $4.50).
The major problem however is the cuffs, they're loose and floppy, how do I get them stiff again? I assume I would starch them however I have never starched anything before in my life and have no idea how to go about this type of thing. I've heard you can use corn starch mixed with water and an iron, is that safe or could I screw this up? Do those spray starch things work at all? Or would it be better to send it to a professional dry cleaner and have them do it?
Thanks.
On a tangent:
Should tuxedos come standard with a boutonniere?
