Went to lunch at a cute local place named Isadora's.
The homemade bread is to die for and the food
delicious. It is in old Snoqualmie across from the
old railroad station.
I was sitting enjoying my lunch when out of
the corner of my eye I spied the most precious
little child's dress. It was all done by hand on
a very sheer cotton fabric. I had to have it!
I have tried to photograph it so that you could
see the tiny little stitches. So I hung it in the sun
and took photo's thru it. The detail is absolutely
precious. It must have been for a very special
occasion, don't you think.
I would like to wash it, just not sure how...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hand wash with Woolite....?
Hand wash with quilt soap...?
Help......!

Hi Sharon:
It's a beautiful little baby dress. My suggestion is to wash it using Vintage Textile Soak (here's the link: http://www.thestarspangledsampler.com/soak.html) The first time I used it was on discolored 60 year old linen hankies that were going to be monogrammed and edged for wedding gifts. I was shocked at how well it worked! Safe for anything, I now use it on all my lingerie and antique linens now. Highly recommend it.
Have a great weekend.

This little dress is so precious! I can imagine the little girl wearing it. It's quite the find, and it sounds like Donna has the perfect solution to cleaning it.
What a beautiful little dress! Sweet, tiny stitches - so precious.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, Sharon!

Really great little dress and I love how the shadow played with the flowers on the front!
Totally gorgeous! I machine-wash my antique/vintage baby dresses with a delicate cycle and perborate (it's a less aggressive bleach than sodium hypochlorite and works great!).Don't forget to put them in a lingerie wash bag.
Hugs!
