Getting yellow marks out of cotton dress

3 replies

Bought a cotton dress in Oxfam and then realised that it has yellow discolouration patches. They’re in random places so not totally sure if they’re sweat/food/age (as it is 1960s). It’s pale cotton but doesn’t have washing instructions. A normal wash didn’t shift them but leaving it in the sun all day has faded the marks a bit. Any other tips to get rid without trashing the dress? Thanks!

Leave it in the sun some more - it's going to be nice all week. Try dampening the dress before hanging it out. To get more sun directly on the marks, you could peg it into an airer so they are flat.
