Silk taffeta crushes/wrinkles very easily and not much can be done
about it, IMHE. Remember the late Diana, Princess of Wales on her
wedding day? How she emerged from the carriage with a gown some in the
pressed called "crumpled Kleenex"? Her gown was silk taffeta and
considering how much planning and cost went into it, one would think
SOMEONE would have brought this to either Diana's or her handler's
attention. IIRC the dressmaker/designer was there to meet Diana, and she
did straighten out/fluff up the train a bit, but that was pretty much
was all one could do at that point. And when you think of how many
knock-offs and Vogue pattern copies were made of that dress.
