How to get fold lines out of silk dupioni?

I was inspired by all of the silk dupioni dresses I saw on flickr and decided to get some to make a dress for my daughter for an upcoming wedding. Since fabric stores are scarce around here, I ordered the fabric from fabric.com. It came folded, and I've ironed the fabric, but can't seem to get the fold lines out of it. I don't want to turn up the iron for fear of ruining the fabric. I took it to the drycleaner to see if they could steam iron it, and I'm not sure if she was steaming it, but she said she couldn't get the lines out either. Thought I'd come in here and tap into all the sewing/fabric knowledge in these forums. Please help!
