This adorable vintage dress has several stains that look kind of rust colored. They look like water stains or something. My sister thinks it is acetate fabric. Do you think I should just try dry cleaning, or could I attempt to get the stains out myself? What advice to you have for me. If I can get the stains out, and if I get asked, I will get married in this super cute dress. It fits very well, probably better with a good bra, but I shouldn't have to make many alterations other than maybe the bust darts. I would really like to get the stains out if possible. Thank you so much!!

Sorry, I tried to attach a picture, but it doesn't look like it worked. I used the attachment option, but after I browse and find the image, I'm not sure how to upload it. Sorry. I will try again after I figure it out, hopefully.

Sometimes I have had luck with a just barely damp soft cloth (white). Just go over the spots in a wispy motion and have a blow dryer on hand to dry it immediately on very low heat. Work small sections.

But...try a test area in a hem or somewhere hidden first before attempting to make sure it doesn't make things worse.

Dry cleaning would be another option.
 
just water?

Just plain water? Would I know right away if the water was going to stain the fabric? thank you!!
