What is the best way to iron a silk blouse?

My wife bought a silk blouse and it has some wrinkles in it and she wants to iron it. Is there a correct way to do this so it will not damage the blouse?|||You can iron silk with a warm iron. If you are worried about scorching the silk, you can cover the fabric with an all cotton (or men's handkerchief) cloth. Has she tried steaming it? Sometimes you can get your iron to shoot steam and just hold it parallel to the blouse and steam it. . . .|||turn it inside out and use a steam iron setting at medium|||The are a few ways to iron silk clothing. The one I find to be tried and true is to hang the silk garment in the shower and let a steamy shower do the work for you. It doesn't take a lot of water or time.





If you have a steamer... that's even better but most people have irons rather than steamers.





Now you can iron it but you have to be careful.You can A; set the iron to delicate or silk/linen if you have that setting and give that a try. Me personally, I don't trust that all irons heat as desired for those kinds of fabrics plus if you don't know exactly how the current in your home is you power could be fluctuating.





Or you can turn your iron to steam and fill the reservoir with water and have the garment hang on a door or rack and just steam the wrinkles right out. It is very easy and the is almost little risk to the clothing and you should be looking posh and sexy in no time..





Take care|||As for me, I'd play it safe and let a cleaners take care of it.





But if she still wants to do it herself, her iron will have the word "silk" on it. She needs to use that setting. BUT just in case her iron is on the hot side, have her test it on the blouse where a burn cannot be seen.
