Help! My sister dropped off chiffon pants that she needs hemmed and
pressed for Valentine's Day. The pants are two layers of chiffon
attached to a satin waistband. The drycleaner told her he couldn't
have them ready in time which is how they became my problem. These
pants look like they were rolled into a ball for storing. Seaching
Google with "pressing chiffon" hasn't been much of a help. I don't
know how to press this whispy stuff. Suggestions?

Thanks Liz W




Whether silk or poly chiffon, start with a cooler iron and press carefully, just like you would anything else. They will probably be a bit slippery, so be careful.

If a cool to warm iron doesn't take the creases out, try a slightly hotter iron and a pressing cloth.
