I hung the skirt on the back of the bathroom door and just one shower
was enough to loosen most of the wrinkles out of both layers of the
silk!
I have some modifications to do to the skirt hem and I'll press to get
the creases that I want, but it looks like there's little to none of
the other
Dampen and toss in warm dryer? Press with a higher heat? Use Steam
with higher heat? obviously I don't want to ruin the fabric and I
definitely don't want to lose the crispness of the duponi.
Don't do the damp and dryer thing, that will just make it worse and you
will lose crispness.
I've never had any prob with pressing the fabrics directly with the iron on
a silk setting with steam. We pressed tons of silk with a professional steam
iron on its linen setting on Last of the Mohicans. You can always ask the
dry cleaners to press it.
**Pt...Have you
I find using a hot iron on silk makes wrinkles disappear in no time and
preserves (or even enhances) the crisp hand. Try it on a scrap if you can.
Just be careful not to scortch, of course.
If there is anything printed or embroidered on the fabric, be sure to test
that as well!

I had tried pressing with a light mist at a notch or two higher on the
iron than the silk setting, without good results. The duponi is a red
and black shot and the duschess is black, so no embroidery on it (yet)
that I have to worry about.
thanks

Crank it up to Linen/Cotton, and use full steam. Just avoid any
