Please help me get this stain out of my daughters dress!

I bought a beautiful dress for my daughter for a special occasion. I’ve stored it for the last 5 years and taken it out to have a look and there’s somehow a stain on it. I’ve run a delicate cycle on my washing machine but the stain is still there. Does anyone know if there’s any way of getting the stain out. I really wanted to keep this as a keepsake to give her in future. Thanks.

Try hanging it in direct sunlight.

Rub original green fairy liquid into it and wash with bio powder & vanish then leave to dry in sunlight.

Try hanging it in direct sunlight.

This but wet it first (cold water). The sun should bleach the stain out.

Soap and cold water might work. Needs to soak.

If you cant get it out, could you cover it up by getting and stitching something like a lace floral motif over it instead? For example like in this image..

Hand sanitiser is pretty good with difficult stains.

try spraying it with white vinegar leave a little while then put in the wash again as you would. This should break down the stain!

I second the white vinegar option...in addition I'd also add some to the washing water via the dispenser.

Another trick is covering it in white toothpaste. Also washing/rubing with bicarbonate of soda.

Try shaving foam.
