    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    Oh no Miss G, sorry to hear that! Vanish does actually bleach clothes, which happens if it either doesn't dissolve properly or stays in too long. I also heard people have had success with spraying on lemon juice and letting it dry in the sun for a few days.

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    I wouldn't use vinegar as that helps to set natural dyes, so may set the stains more than they already are. If it's not delicate, I have had great results with Vanish (the powder). Let the powder dissolve in very warm water, then soak the dress as per instructions - for colours they say not more...

    Daniela Turudich Second Edition - it's being reprinted and it's affordable!

    Hm, the person who first told me about this is American and said it is available in the US for around $25, so I thought they sell it there? If not on Amazon, it was through one of the big book sellers.

    I got lucky and won this Swirl I really wanted, as I don't see black ones very often I also got this Anthropologie eyelet blouse, for which I have a few outfits planned already and this Asos skirt, which isn't vintage, but I love the print

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Does Vecona have a Facebook or Twitter? It would be much easier to promote them via those networks and result in a lot more hits for the website I suspect.

    I find it more interesting that any time the offended party voices their opinion they get silenced with "lighten up - it's just a joke". The article wouldn't be "funny" if it was gender neutral because there is a long cultural tradition of depictiing women as dramatic, overthinking and...

    Thank you for this :) This is about as funny (and appropriate) as jokes about blondes.

    Thank you Miss G! I really love that coat and am almost disappointed it'll be too warm to wear it soon. :)

    Haha, I know what you mean. I used to get most of my fabric there as a teenager and I still love going there when I visit family. Even hubby loves it, because they have a Maennerparkplatz! :D

    The floral one is from Karstadt (in the sale), the cashmere was a rest in a small fabric shop in Bad Bevensen. It's funny, because I get so excited about fabric shopping in Germany, and you are the opposite :) !

    Thank you :) The cottons are from the UK, but the cashmere and floral jersey were bought in Germany!
