I decided to wash my 1940's parachute "silk" wedding dress. That has turned out ok except that the buttons have rusted!!! I think I should have gotten that dry cleaned too. :(

My granny had a lovely dress with dyed coloured wooden buttons. She would remove the buttons, wash it, then sew them back on. I have borrowed that tip from her, whilst admiring her, she had seven children and still looked chic.

Paul thanks for sharing that dry cleaning clip with us, scarey stuff!!! & all those chemicals & bashing about.
Does anyone rate Dryel? I have used it a few times and it does seem to help but wonder how clean it gets the clothes.

Can you repost the correct link? It is not working. Thanks!
