How do I properly clean and store vintage cotton clothing?
vest

fabric is swiss batiste and I need to create long term storage that is safe for this delicate fabric


First be sure that it is very clean and well rinsed of all residue, no starch or any other treatment that could attract insects or deteriorate the fabric. Any substance left on the fabric now could turn spots dark in time even if it is not noticeable now.

Make sure it is completely dry. Use acid free tissue paper to fill out the sleeves and skirts to avoid having any folding creases that can harm the fibers. The best packaging would be a container that would allow the fabric to breathe (not plastic)while still keeping out feeding or nesting insects. Pack each garment in a separate box carefully in layers of acid free tissue avoiding creasing the fabric as much as possible. If it is a particularly valuable item, it can be taken to a quality dry cleaner who offers a "heirlooming" service where they can do this for you.

How do I distress cotton shirts to make them look vintage?
1950s coat-of-arms print cotton blouse

How do I distress cotton shirts to make them look vintage? (I'm not talking about the print, but the cloth itself.) I want to achieve that "thin, faded vintage tee" look. Do I bleach, sandpaper, etc.? I wanna start designing my own shirts. Thanks!


My first thought, after being involved in Theater for so many years would be "Tea Staining" a very simple process. Bleach won't affect anything white in achieving an Aged look, and even in color fabrics the effect will just be faded, or worse colors running and varying in shades. Fading doesn't strictly relate to age. In fact many fabrics change color while not actually lightening up in their original color.

Terra Cotta dies also and washed out until the color no longer runs... Grout, crushed brick, Powdered spices,

  • Tease me: Dita Von Teese talks lingerie

    The performer who has set a million men’s hearts thumping with her teasing act sashays stylishly into Residence on Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green. Famous for her signature champagne glass strip routine, her carriage is demure and ladylike, tiny steps executed in exquisite scarlet satin Louboutins.

    Beneath her satin Moschino dress, you can read clues of her legendary tiny frame. The former Mrs Marilyn Manson - she filed for divorce 12 months after saying ‘I do’ to the goth rocker in Gurteen Castle, Co Tipperary in 2005 - Dita, born Heather Renee Sweet in Rochester , Michigan , has a reputed 18 inch waist. But she insists that size does not matter and that initial impression of feminine fragility is quickly overtaken by the powerful aura of sexuality and sensuality that the smouldering 37-year-old exudes.
