Thank you both for such quick replies! I will use a cool iron AND a
pressing cloth. I can tell this fabric will pick up "iron shine" real
fast. Better to be safe then sorry. The fabric care tag reads "dry
clean only" and nothing else. I guess I'll have to buy some chiffon
and make something for myself to get the experience. Maybe a long
skirt with a top layer or two of chiffon. That should be nice for
Spring. :-)
Thanks again.
