Decided between linen and cotton for a summer dress pattern last month

I was stuck choosing between linen and cotton for a lightweight summer dress I'm designing. I went with linen because it breathes better in humidity, but now the fabric wrinkles way more than I expected during fittings. Has anyone else found a way to keep linen looking sharp without adding a bunch of synthetic blend?

Cotton holds its shape way better and feels nicer against sweaty skin...

That linen wrinkle struggle is like how life rewards you for one thing by taking away another.
