How to fix shiny material having been ironed over a zip?

My dm decided to iron some of my tops, to 'help' me...I never iron. So one of my favourite tops has a zip in the back and she has ironed over the front, so there is now a shiny set of marks. It is really obvious...is there any way to fix? I suspect not but hopefully there is! Thank you

In my own experience, it depends on the fabric. The iron - combined with the zip underneath jutting up -,might actually have melted some of the surface. I think I'd try rewashing the item and see how it goes. (Maybe with an inside-out iron of the offending surface only when near dry.)
