    hello - posted these pretties a while back. want to try and get the creases out of these slips, any advice as to how to do this? would anyone advise cleaning these with a soak? would it be better to repair any issues on these or leave them as is?

    thank you for your help! sincerely appreciate it

    I would steam these very carefully turning them inside out. Let's see what others have to say. All three pieces are stunning!

    If they are silk the wrinkles should fall out with a steam. If rayon it might take a bit more work. If you do iron, use a cool iron and iron on the reverse side.
