Thank you for increasing my courage to wash my mom's gown about 100 years old and my own from 42 years a go that I don't think she had preserved. Braver after every listen. Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for watching. You can do it! & if you are scared to iron it dry, just let them drip dry. They will be very wrinkly, but they'll be clean until you get the nerve to dip & press again. ;)
As usual … awesome video. The photographer of one of my brides thought it was a good idea to take pics in the rain. You need to see this silk dress to believe just how bad it is. It became a mop after in was soaked. I attended the wedding … as the wet dress stretched bustling didn’t help much. Definitely going to pass on this info. And I’m pulling out some old linens, etc. to experiment with. Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤
Thank you that was a great video and information. I have my Mom's Wedding Dress and it does have stains from 1951. Nice to know I can clean it up safely!
I love sewing in my past time. Being a petite, I’m always having to alter clothes for a better fit. All your tips n tricks is so ingenious. Opens my world up as to solutions for problems. ....thank u for sharing. LOVe ur videos!
That was very interesting and helpful. Thank you for sharing that technique! Love your channel, it's so helpful and informative 😃
Very helpful. Do you do restoration or cleaning of gowns? I have my grandmother’s I would like cleaned but I’m so afraid to do it myself. Also, where would I get the mentioned cleaning products if I did decide to do it?
Awesome information! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m thinking of washing my beloved grandma’s satin silk wedding dress from the 50s. I’m more concerned about the spot cleaning because there are some large unknown, possibly set-in stains on the dress: how long do you leave the dreft spray on? And how do you rinse it? Do you rub the stain with one at all?
Your channel in general is such a blessing!
I would gently rub with my fingers & not leave the dreft on for long.
Fascinating and so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I recently bought a Victorian Silk parasol in an ivory color. The fabric is in very good condition (only very small holes due to wear on the under layer) but there is a lot of tension on the canopy when fully open. Do you have any suggestions for cleaning it? There are a few dark spots and overall it looks dingy. Will the products you mentioned weaken the material further?
super interesting! Thank you!
Is there a way I can tell the difference between silk and satin? Because I'm fairly certain my mothers wedding dress, is satin and lace. But I can't ask her :( Can I use oxiclean on satin and lace? Because I don't think I can get the product you used, in time
I have a video in my gown cleaning playlist that goes into how to tell/test which fabric you have.
😊Thank you this is Very helpful…
please any recommendations for age sequins the turn yellow, this method would work to clear them?
No mam. Yellow sequins need to be cut out and replaced if the bride does not want them. 🥰
Hi, thank you so much for this. Do you have any tips for removing age spots on white silk?
This method *should* do it just fine.
@@BridalSewing Thanks for the amazing information! I have a silk dress that has been in my closet for almost 8 years. It has a wine spill on it that was small, but I recently looked at it ( it has been a while) and there are more stains and spots. Is it from sweat, or aging?
Do you think this technique would work on my dress?
Hey, it's got to be *better*, right? ;)
Can I use this same technique to brighten a stained silk and cotton dress?
Cotton can be tricky if it wasn't pre-shrunk
Hello I appreciate your video. I have some vintage silk pieces that have completely yellowed how can I reverse the yellow color and restore the color back to white?
Not necessarily. Just clean it using these safe steps and see how light they can be.
Thank you so much for sharing your technique! You are amazing! Do you mix chalk with acrylic paint or do you buy it like it is? Any suggestions on type or brand?
AllSewn Up I buy it in the craft section of Walmart! Super cheap and easy peasy. I'll try to look up the brand. If you can't find the chalk paint, a regular matte acrylic craft paint will work as well. -the cheap Apple Barrel stuff!
Thank you! Seeing a video from you pop up is better than Christmas! I plan on opening my own shop this summer and you are my go to/hero.
AllSewn Up thank you so much ❤❤❤ What country/state are you in? I offer observation packages if you want to come spend a week & see how we run things. Message me if interested. We are in the Mid-Atlantic region, USA.
AllSewn Up I just signed the lease on my new studio and live in the North east.
Would you consider doing some kind of observation/mentoring session via phone/Computer since I’m too far away to do the in person?
Keena Dove yay for the excitement of a new lease!! I don't know how to make that work without a great internet connection here. We could certainly do some consulting/ hangouts type sessions! Let me know what you need. :)
I am getting married in October, and wanting to use my mother's wedding dress. It is a muslin (I'm thinking, very gauzy and sheer) gunnie sacks by Jessica of San Francisco peasant dress that she bought in the 70's and used in her wedding to my father in 1980. It was originally an off white, and my grandmother and mother used snowy white bleach to whiten it. Now 40 years later it has yellowed again back to its original off white, but also has some tiny brown stains that a friend said was probably from storing in plastic for years. I'm so afraid to wash it, even though it will be by hand. 😬 If you have any tips for this fabric please let me know, I would so appreciate it! ❤️
This technique should be fine. If you are scared at all, at least skip the ironing & only drip dry.
@@BridalSewing thank you!!!
I wish I could send you a picture of my wedding dress. My grandmother wore it in 1921.
DM me on insta @Bridalsewing
Will this method work on raw silk, as well? The dress I'm working with is not dirty but has a couple stains. I know raw silk fibers can be more fragile at times, though the dress is in great condition.
It has always worked really well for me with raw silk.
@@BridalSewing Thank you!
What should I do if the lace is attached right to the silk and I can't separate it? Is the detergent (can't remember what it's called) that you used safe on lace?
Yes! Absolutely safe on lace!! You don't need to separate them.
@@BridalSewing thank you so much!
