    Long story short - I had to present this veil in an absolute perfect condition...
    It seemed to be steam-resistant but when I put a few clothes pins on the bottom it worked like a dream even on the most stubborn creases.
     
    For a 54" wide veil I used about 6-7 small WOODEN clothes pin(the plastics are too light and have edges that may snag the veil), spaced every 8 inches or so, and it provided just that bit of gentle weight for the veil to smooth out over the course of 2-3 days.
     
    This worked great even on veils that were decorated, and couldn't be steamed.
