Tips & Warnings
Hang your dress in the bathroom and run the hot water. The steam will help pull some of the wrinkles out, but you may still have to iron it.
If your iron does not have a steam setting, use a very damp towel over the tulle. This will create steam, having the same effect as a steam setting on an iron.
Don't attempt to iron tulle if you have little experience with irons. This is a sure way to ruin your dress. Instead, ask someone for help.
Never allow the iron to touch the tulle directly.
