Thanks to all that have replied.  My first step is to hang the skirt
in the bathroom and will try the steam process first since it's the
least labor intensive, and the event I was going to display this at,
has been canceled because of the incoming hurricane.

Next step will be to try higher heat and more steam/damp cloth
pressing.   I do have a question - the iron I have doesn't steam as
well as I like (aside from burping water onto my fabric - yuk) and
usually when I want steam I have a small bottle of water on hand to
mist.  Does anyone see a problem with this?  I usually get a better
coverage that the iron will manage without huge wet spots.
