How to

1. Read the blouse's care label and fabric composition. Linings, finishes and decorations can change its safe heat and cleaning instructions.
2. Identify deliberate crinkled or pleated textures. Some crushed-silk products expressly prohibit both steaming and ironing; do not flatten their finish.
3. If the garment is damp, dry it only as instructed on its own label. Avoid wringing, harsh rubbing and automatic hot tumble drying.
4. When steaming is explicitly permitted, choose the lowest setting, keep the head from pressing into the fabric and test an inconspicuous area. Stop if unsure.
5. If cool ironing is allowed, use low heat and a clean pressing cloth, testing a hidden section first. Stop if you see shine or pressure marks.
6. Let the blouse fully cool and dry before storing in a cool, dark, ventilated space. Consult the maker or a specialist cleaner if its care directions are absent or complex.

One more tip

Silk garments differ by finish, trim and construction. Obey 'do not steam' and 'do not iron' instructions. Never try to flatten intentional crushed or pleated textures.
