Dress Cotton

I have a white cotton baby dress that I would like to frame and hang up. I don't want the dress to discolor or disintegrate over time. Help! How should I frame it, what should I avoid?

You could get it professionally framed from an archival specialist, but be prepared to spend some money. Or you could do it yourself. Shop around for a glass display case that resembles a shadow box. Make sure the glass is conservation quality (meaning it will filter out UV rays. Start by looking through 'amazon.com". I've been looking for a glass dome and amazon has a large selection of display cases and a few links to places that sell other kinds.
Then try 'philaprintshop.com' and get some help from the questions section or archival framing section.
Whichever way you go, make sure there are NO stains on the dress before framing. Even a small milk stain that seems unnoticable will probably yellow over time. Then hang the finished frame out of direct sunlight.

How can i shrink my brown cotton dress? its almost all cotton but the bottom and neck line is silk.

Rather than shrink it why don't you simply take it in or up whatever way you want to shrink it, as cotton is not all that easy to shrink even on a boil wash, as you may end up with it going baggy and the silk at the bottom and on the neck line will crease bad and will take a lot of ironing to get them out

I have a cotton dress on which I spilt a small dab of crazy glue. This is the ultra-bonding extra-strength glue that bonds skin. I tried to wash it out immediately, but it doesn't seem to want to go. How can I remove it effectively?

go to k-mart--walmart-- find a product called "goop" it"s in a small orange can.

I was recently given a 100% cotton dress shirt but unfortunately its a size too large. I've been to several of the store outlets but none of them have the shirt in my size. Usually I'd just change it to another but I really like this shirt so was hoping that I could perform a "controlled shrink" on it. It's currently a size large but I'm a size small. Any tips so that i don't overdo it?
Sorry, it's a size medium, not large

If it's cotton, about all you'll have to do is wash it in hot water, and then dry in a hot dryer. Cotton shrinks a good bit, but not sure if it will be enough.

I am a size three in juniors and I want to know where to find a nice bold printed cotton(cloth cotton not stretch cotton) knee length dress on the internet. It has to be a reasonable price no more than 32 dollars.
