Pack your larger, more easily wrinkled clothes first.
Use this order: jacket, skirts, dresses, shirts, pants, sweaters.
Lay each item (on your bed, or, better, in your bag)
face up, button it, and smooth out any wrinkles.
Alternate your shirts up and down, and your pants and skirts left and right:
Enlarge
Then pack everything but your clothes in a big plastic bag (30x40cm, 11x16").
Place this "core" bag on top of your clothes.
Then, starting from the top, wrap each item firmly around the bag.
(Firm wrapping pulls out any wrinkles. Don't fold: Folding causes wrinkles.)
Finally tie your bundle firmly in your suitcase.
(Don't let your clothes move around: Moving causes wrinkles.)
At your hotel, hang your clothes in the bathroom.
The steam from your shower will remove most wrinkles.
