How to Iron Wrinkles Out of Chiffon

From the French word meaning cloth, "chiffon" does not refer to a specific material, but rather the method in which it is made. Chiffon may be made out of a natural material like silk or a man-made material like polyester. These fibers are then woven together to create the sheer, porus fabric known as chiffon. Whether or not to iron the chiffon depends on what type of chiffon it is.
