Both my parents smoked heavily but oddly, it was only the (very puffy, Princess Diana-style) sleeves that got stained from the nicotine. Once I got it back in my possession, I sent it to the dry cleaners with not much hope of them being able to make any improvement. To my utter delight, they were able to remove 95% of the stain!!!! I never would've believed it was possible. Don't give up hope, girl! ligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696703006975124070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629154036151553506.post-39438083499097471962016-03-17T13:01:04.014-07:002016-03-17T13:01:04.014-07:00oh myyyyyy, Melanie!

It was just the two of us, at the Getty Museum, outside and overlooking Malibu Beach. So very sweet and romantic! We each wrote new vows to each other, as well. Can't wait to hear how your renewals go and hopefully see a few photos of the beautiful event! xo Sue ligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696703006975124070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629154036151553506.post-72035390795322613192016-03-11T13:06:55.617-08:002016-03-11T13:06:55.617-08:00Absolutely amazing!

How gorgeous is that...I still have my wedding dress, despite being 'preserved' by the cleaners---it was in my smoking mother's closet and is a disgusting shade of brown....I think I will just drown it in oxy-clean a dozen times and then dye it...circa 1968...it is tent style with venise lace on the top and trim all around the train, I can always make a new sheath to go underneath...what a brilliant idea and your dress is gorgeous---we will celebrate the 50 year endurance test in 2018...it might take that long to get the smoke out! Fun---! SandiSandi Maglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704266549174163817noreply@blogger.com
