Stained wedding dress!!!

Hi, I get married in 2 weeks and just tried my dress on. It's one from an online store, nothing fancy just a nice white dress. Have somehow managed to get a smidge of bright pink icing on it. How can I get it out without washing the whole dress?

If it's just a nice white not fancy dress, why can't you just wash it? Inside a pillowcase maybe?

I think the pink is quite well into the fabric if you see what I mean. So was just wondering what people found best to put on it. I was then going to wash it after 😊

Have you tried dapping with diluted white wine vinegar to draw out the food colouring stain?

Elbow grease cleaner or try a non oily eye make remover.
This worked wonders when I got foundation on my cream wool mix curtains.

The astonish stain remover spray might work, then dab with a damp cloth.

Or what might be better is popping down to a dry cleaners for advice, they can probably do better job and will have more experience.

I wouldn't risk it and would take it to a dry cleaners as they are specialists in getting rid of stains.

Take it to the cleaners

Thanks - i ended up dabbing it with a damp cloth over and over and it did end up coming out! I will remember all of the above though as kids are always spilling stuff everywhere 🤦🏻‍♀️
