How does one set pleats in silk? I'm working on a German gown (mid 1500's or so) for an 18" doll that has the sharp crisp looking pleats from bodice to floor. I plan the skirt to be 4 panels, wider at the bottom than the top and since the silk I'm using is blouse weight, I was going to line with linen. The linen I know i can steam press the pleats, but how will that work with the silk? Can I use vinegar in the steam?
