You can also try the vinegar/water trick.

I've tried ironing the dickens out of it, and wetting it, without much
luck.
I usually find that a combination of steam, gentle spritzing with
water and
ironing works to remove creases from silk. Probably you need to use a
higher
setting than the iron makers typically recommend (I usually use the
same one
I use for wools). If the silk wasn't so expensive that experimenting
will
traumatize you, experiment a little.
If it was, consider talking to a friendly drycleaner and asking
assistance/advice.
