Lightly spray some starch or fabric stiffener on it, cover it with a clean sheet, and then put pillows or something heavy on it to flatten it, until it dries.
You can also use elmers glue, or any fabric glue, by brushing it on with a cotton swab.
Many people are surprised to find out that dress designers use glue a lot on their dresses. Fabric glues are specially formulated for fabrics.

I would not use any water or glue on the lace. This could damage the fabric in your gown. What I think you should do ( if you're doing it yourself), is to tack the lace down where it is curling. Cover these tacking stitches with small seed pearls. They will look like part of the design.

I would use a gentle steam on it-but you can go to a good fabric store and talk to someone in the wedding department-where the satins and lace and beaded fabrics are-in a GOOD fabric store they know how to correct things and know how fa bric is cared for-you can also go to a GOOD dry cleaning store and see if they know how to fix it.Good luck

TRY PRESING IT WITH AN IRON ON A LOW SETTING BUT WITH STEAM BUT MAKE SURE YOU COVER IT WITH CLOTH AND PRESS IT ON THE UNDERNEATH SIDE AWAY FROM THE BEADING
