Husband spilt black coffee over a vintage silk gown whilst carrying it to the car, I panicked and threw it in a cold bath. The coffee didn’t stain it thank god but after it dried there were big watermarks round the hem (heavy embroidery/embellishment on the hem so your eye is really drawn to it too 😞)
It’s pure silk, quite fine like a fine silk chiffon weight. It was very heavy after soaking and i dried it hanging up.
Is there anything I can do for the watermarks? Will handwashing help? There’s no care instructions label in it.
If anyone has any tips/advice I would be very grateful, I would love to rescue it.
