    Silk Edwardian dress odor elimination

    Agree completely about not using water based liquid. I will say that I worried about whether Zero Odor would leave some sort of water ring, but so far, it has not, even on rayon crepe. I don't think it is water based. I work from the inside, and generally start light and then repeat as needed.

    Help! Is this homemade peasant style dress 1970's or 40's...?

    My vote is for 70s, based on the patchwork quilt print. I've never seen that kind of print used for earlier garments. Let's see what others think.
