The OP was asking about acrylic kilts - they need to be ironed gently as the low temperature doesn't penetrate the layers of pleats.

Ironing smooths all the fabric in the lower pleats, then you press - under a dry cloth, so that all the visible fabric is smoothed.

Just pressing will look fine, when the kilt is on a hanger, but there will most likely still be wrinkles within the pleats.

Damp pressing is absolutely fine for wool, but it will ruin acrylic if it is done hot or have only a slight effect if done cool.
