The dress I purchased last week still smells like the shop it resided in. I’ve cleaned it and it did fade a tiny bit, but it’s a strong scent. I’m not sure how to get rid of it without destroying the dress or waiting. I read somewhere that Oxyclean (dissolved in hot water) can be safe to use on some vintage items, but I don’t know if that will help with the smell too.
I debated dying the dress since I have lots of black & white gingham already, but I’m not sure how well it will take the dye or if it will shrink when added to hot water. I’m pretty sure it’s cotton, but the tags are long gone so I’m not 100% sure. Probably better if I don’t.
Anyone have any ideas?
