Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you need a clothing steamer and an iron

First just hot steam to get rid of the bend!. One layer at a time, Pass the steam over the tutu then smooth it out with your hand!. continue until the fabric soften and the bend comes out!. Try to keep the pleats intact as much as possible, but they will probably soften a bit!. If it gets too wet, take a break for it to dry out before continuing!.


once get the bent part straightened, go over it with a SLIGHTLY warm iron, (and a bit of spray starch if needed) to fix up the pleats!.

Just be very very very patient!. Its going to be tedious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can iron it, but ONLY let someone do it if they know how!. It needs to be done layer by layer and with a very low heat!. But make sure who ever does it knows what they are doing and has done it before!. It can turn disastrous if not done properly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

u need to steam it, but it in the bathroom when you take a shower, the steam should help it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
