I usually fling a towel over the silk dress I am ironing and then iron over it on a complete wallop.

Generally does the work. Hope it assists.

Remember not to press the iron on the silk fabric directly, it soooo delicate, you
wouldn't want to risk it.

Use a steam iron setting at medium. You can iron silk with a warm iron. You can cover the fabric with an all cotton cloth. I use Panasonic Steam/Dry Iron.
