Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and was hoping to get some opinions on a recent purchase. I bought this beautiful 1930 wedding dress (accordingly to the seller) with a matching cape. It’s in amazing condition, apart from a reddish/ pink stain right at the front, which is a bit noticeable since it contrasts with the white dress. I suspect it is dye transfer from the flower attachment, some of the petals are made of a silk(?) velvet.
Do you have any tips for removing the stain?
I have had a lot of luck with washing older silks, but I never dealt with something stained.
Unfortunately dry cleaning isn’t an option for now, I don’t have any that I would trust with a vintage garment and have had bad experiences with a lot of the big chain businesses.
I’m not that capable of identifying fabrics, I believe this resembles silk satin.
It was expensive, so if you think it’s too risky I may just leave it or perhaps had a flower embroidery on top of the stain?
Thank you for helping!
