    Help I just shrunk a dress!!!

    Thanks for the tips! I probably have got some dresses made of this fabric, so the only way to wash it is to have it dry cleaned?? What did they do in the 30's and 40's surely they didn't just have everything drycleaned??

    Help I just shrunk a dress!!!

    I don't know what to recommend?? I've herd that disstilled water (pure water) is probably better than just water out of the tap, as it has no chemicals, but you could also just try cold water with a tiny little bit of soap just to give the dress a freshening up? Eww! That is disgusting...

    Bargins still can be found though! I got a fab green suit for $50, which came today, so i think thats very reasonable. I just think it is mostly the vintage day dresses that are fetching the most money at the moment, which is a shame as they are the most delicate!!:cry: I mean $200-$300 for a...

    Help I just shrunk a dress!!!

    I think dry cleaning would have been even harsher on the dress, as this method uses chemical to clean the fabric (although what good it does I just don't know as i've had dresses that stilll come back from the dry cleaners smealing of sweat and still have a musty smell to them!!)

    I hate it when dealers over stuff the rails with clothing, you just can't see what they have and so in the end can't be bothered to have a look through!! I've been to Radio Days, its great and all the stuff is in nice condition!:) Last year I got a gorgeous 1930's long crepe evening gown...
