Ironing for Shabbos during the Nine Days

Question

Is it permissible to iron a shirt during the Nine Days in honor of Shabbat?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

It is forbidden to iron in honor of Shabbat.

However, if someone does not have a shirt that can be worn on Shabbos—such as one that is very wrinkled—it is permitted to do a light ironing.
