It's a lovely dress, and it would be such a pity if it was destroyed.Sunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144458173180092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444312799806914885.post-58561182717970118652011-07-29T17:54:08.849+02:002011-07-29T17:54:08.849+02:00I have found that steam gets the odor out. they h...I have found that steam gets the odor out. they have those new steam machines for 'freshing up' clothes, so I took a steam iron to the 'pits' of a garment that just wouldn't let them go, no matter what I tried and if you steam and steam some more and flip the fabric over and steam some more...after a while, the ordor goes away, and the garment is saved!victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014996933300897525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444312799806914885.post-44482146239108245132010-08-28T10:49:16.490+02:002010-08-28T10:49:16.490+02:00Thanks for your nice comment, Bronny :o)

I have quite a few myself; the first one I got was a 1960's wool mini dress which belonged to my mum. She also gave me her swimsuit when she decided she no longer had any use of it. It's probably from the 1940's. She got it as a gift from one of my aunts which got it at a flea market in the 70's. Perhaps I should photograph more of my vintage clothing an post pictures?<br /><br />My arms seem to be recovering well, but as you said, best to take baby steps :o)Sunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144458173180092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444312799806914885.post-56001335321180474432010-08-28T00:48:21.727+02:002010-08-28T00:48:21.727+02:00Welcome back to blogland.

Try not to strain your hands - glad to see that you are getting help with your experiments.<br />Do you have many vintage items? I have 3 that immediately spring to mind, but mine are from the 60's. One my mum wore in 1962 and I wore in 1980s and two coats. I should grab them out and blog about them - shouldn't I??<br />Baby steps to recovery, then a full on return to your craft that you love.<br />Hugs!BronnyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729424866466315098noreply@blogger.com
