I have had success using a hand held personal type steamer on wrinkled
     textiles. Use distilled water in the steamer (some steamers say to use
     only tap water, so you'll want to find one that uses distilled). I try
     to use the steamer only on cottons and sometimes to touch up wool
     suits, but you'll have to be careful using it on silks and some
     synthetics because you can end up with water spots. Hold the steamer
     at least 5-6" from the surface of the garment. I would stay away from
     using an iron because it can be hard to keep the heat level low enough
     to not harm the textile.

     Hope this helps,
