Superfun Lilli Ann 60's coat with bad pit stains

[Melonie]

Help... Do you think dry cleaning will be able to get out stains? They are only on the inside. Not sure if it would be better to replace the lining or leave as is since they cannot be seen on the outside. Also I have only recently discovered the Lilli Ann did suits.. or outfits with matching capes etc. Do you think this likely came with a dress or pants or something? Thank you for any insight!

Do you plan to wear or sell the coat? You could cover them with underarm shields.

in my experience dry cleaning never cleans the sweat stains. couple of options here. remove the lining, clean it yourself, sew it back inside. i've seen ppl do that with vintage moschino linings. Like Claire said - you can also just cover the stains.

I personally wouldn’t touch them as they are not visible from the outside. It did most likely have a dress to go with it. Most of them did.
It would have been something similar to this

You guys are awesome! I think I will just leave them alone!!

I agree with Victoria/Vintagiality - disclose, with photo, and emphasize that there is no odor and it is not visible during wear.
