Can I iron this dress?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Ensure the dress is dry cleaned and pressed professionally. If minor creases are present, a garment steamer on a low setting can be used cautiously, keeping the steamer at a safe distance from the fabric.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.
This may indicate the cleaning process affected the fabric. Consult a professional dry cleaner for advice. Ensure you are using a cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics like viscose and polyester blends.
Buttons feel loose.
Gently reinforce the buttons by hand-sewing them with a strong thread. Avoid excessive force when buttoning and unbuttoning.
