Depending upon how deep the scorch went, the fabric may be compromised. It my be permanently stiff and more fragile, since the burning has caused a permanent change. Can you replace the one small damaged area? If not, try all the remedies that you find. Maybe something will help.
In my small re-enactor group, when a mistake happens on a "period reproduction" garment, the saying is "Fix it or Feature it." We place extra things over the mistake- flowers, badges, sash, etc.

You could try cutting lemon in half, rub it on the scorched area then set it in the sun for a while, It usually works on a shallow scorch, but remember that the fabric will be a little weak under that area. I like the idea of adding tails. That would take care of it and be cute

I had a scorch mark on a utility quilts. I washed it and some of it came out but not all. We just used it since it was an utility quilt and it was not that noticeable because of the print. within no time the fabric was gone where the scorch was. I ended up putting an applique over it.
