How to Starch a Doily with Huge Ruffles

I have a beautiful old doily. It is obviously a treasure but eventually it began to look grey and needed laundering. I did this very carefully. Now, the problem is that the edge, 3" deep is heavily ruffled. When finished correctly the lamp sits on the center of the doily and the edges stand up, starched, all around to a height of about 2-2.5 inches. I am making starch but maybe I need to spray it rather than submerge it? Any help would be appreciated. Laurie
