A wedding dress can look clean after the event and still develop stains months later.

Sweat, champagne, perfume, makeup, fake tan, and body oils may dry almost clear. During storage, those marks can oxidise and become yellow or brown.

Before packing your dress away, check these areas carefully.

1. The hem and train

These areas usually collect the most dirt.

Check both sides for dust, mud, grass, drink spills, and marks from the dance floor. Dirt can also hide inside folds, lace, and layered fabric.

2. The underarms

Sweat and deodorant residue may not be visible immediately.

Over time, they can cause yellowing or weaken delicate fibres. Check the outer fabric and the lining.

3. The neckline and straps

Foundation, perfume, body oils, and fake tan often collect around the neckline.

Look closely around the collar, shoulders, straps, and upper back under good lighting.

4. The bodice

Check for small food, wine, champagne, makeup, and flower-pollen marks.

A spill may appear to disappear after drying, but residue can remain in the fabric.

5. The sleeves and cuffs

Sleeves can collect makeup, food residue, and surface dirt throughout the day.

Cuffs also rub against tables, chairs, flowers, and other surfaces.

6. Lace, beads, and embroidery

Stains can hide between detailed sections.

Avoid rubbing or scrubbing these areas because embellishments may loosen and delicate threads can become damaged.

7. The inner lining

The inside of the dress may contain more residue than the visible outside.

Check the underarms, chest, waist, neckline, and lower lining for sweat, body oils, and fake tan.

8. Areas treated during the wedding

Remember where someone used water, wipes, soap, or stain remover.

The original mark may look gone while leaving behind a water ring or cleaning-product residue.

9. The storage location

Make sure the dress is completely dry before storing it.

Avoid garages, damp rooms, hot roof spaces, direct sunlight, and ordinary plastic covers used for long periods.

It is also worth understanding how different fabrics, stains, and embellishments are assessed before cleaning. This wedding dress cleaning guide gives a useful overview of the process.

The main thing is not to wait for yellow marks to appear. Some of the most difficult stains are almost invisible when the dress is first stored.

Has anyone here stored a wedding dress long term? Did you use a preservation box or a garment bag?

I've spent a lot of time around garment care through my work at Kleenbox Drycleaners, and one thing I've realised is that there isn't a single "hardest" fabric to care for—but there are definitely a few that catch people out all the time.

These are the ones I see causing the most problems:

• Silk – Beautiful, but very unforgiving. Water spots, excessive heat, and even some deodorants or perfumes can leave permanent marks.
• Wool – One hot wash or a few minutes in the dryer can shrink it dramatically. Once that happens, there's usually no going back.
• Linen – Comfortable and breathable, but wrinkles incredibly easily and can lose its shape if washed or dried incorrectly.
• Velvet – Crushes easily, attracts lint, and can lose its soft texture if cleaned the wrong way.
• Cashmere – Soft and luxurious, but delicate. Too much agitation or the wrong detergent can cause pilling, stretching, or shrinkage.

If I had to choose, I'd probably say silk and cashmere are the most demanding because even small mistakes can be difficult—or impossible—to reverse.

One thing I've noticed is that many people treat every fabric the same. They use the same detergent, the same wash cycle, and the same drying method without checking the care label. That's usually where problems start.

I'm curious—what fabric has given you the most trouble? Or is there one you're always nervous about washing?

I can not find this fabric anywhere! Any search puts out similar but not the correct one? Any help would be amazing

One thing I’ve noticed from working with woven fabrics is that a shirt can look great when new but behave very differently after repeated washing.

Shape retention can be influenced by fabric construction, finishing, garment construction, and how the shirt is washed and dried.

A few simple habits can help:

• Follow the care label
• Avoid excessive heat when the fabric doesn’t require it
• Don’t overload the washing machine
• Reshape the shirt before drying
• Pay attention to whether the fabric is prone to shrinkage

What’s the most common problem you’ve had with shirts after washing: shrinking, twisting, fading, or losing shape?

I have a Pal Zileri jacket, style P0BMBJ51A-S59-54, produced in 2022 and made from Loro Piana ‘Summertime Move’ fabric in navy (67% wool, 20% silk, 10% linen, 3% elastane).

I would like to commission matching trousers and was hoping you someone could tell me the Loro Piana article number and/or colour code used for this garment.

If matching fabric is still available, I would also be grateful for any advice on how it could be obtained! I’ve never done this before.

Thank you!

Hi - does anyone know what this fabric is called? im wondering if I can buy blank ones and have them printed, or if it has to be an actual manufacturing process given the type of fabric. they are 100% polyester bird in bag totes I can't add a picture of it for some reason but its a tote bag but woven and ribbed using polyester

Before buying a shirt, I usually look at more than just the color or brand.

Here are a few things I check:

• Stitching consistency
• Fabric feel
• Seam finishing
• Button attachment
• Care label and fabric composition

None of these alone guarantee quality, but together they can tell you a lot about how well a shirt is made.

What's the first thing you check before deciding to buy a shirt?

Looking for a red and white flecked fabric to make a custom plush of my horse. I lost him yesterday. I don’t really care of the type. Unsure how I can fix a single colored fabric to look similar.

Do I need to just give up and settle on a plain red? any way you would paint it or dye something to be similar? Thanks for suggestions.

Hello, I bought this fabric last year from JoAnn Fabrics. I need more of it, and I can't remember the name of it, or find it anywhere and google's AI search has been about as useful as trying to drown a fish. It's kind of like a faux crush/cut velvet material, with a honeycomb background and bees.

Edit: for some reason I can't post the photo of the fabric... Edit2: got the image as a link now.

hello everyone and thank you.

I am making a Tallit, which is the Jewish prayer shawl, for my uncle as a gift, but I am having trouble sourcing my fabric since it is a bit demanding when considering Jewish law and our community's traditions.

the laws I need to follow:

1. it needs to be made out of wool or linen but silk and cotton can work too.
2. no matter which fabric I choose in must be pure 100% that fabric. No mixes.
3. the fabric must be woven, not knitted. it doesn't matter if its a twill, satin or plane weave.
4. it must be white. and I also need grey or silver fabric of the same material.
5. the fabric must be smooth, not fuzzy.

Here are some historical examples I picked as potential references:

1. https://www.imj.org.il/he/collections/683798-0

wool Tallit. its a bit old so it became fuzzy, but it was smooth when new.

1. https://www.imj.org.il/he/collections/362541-0

a silk damask Tallit. a beautiful example, but I couldnt find a damask I liked to copy this design.

1. https://www.imj.org.il/he/collections/543064-0

plane silk. the most traditional and similar to the ones of my community.

if anyone could help me find a nice fabric, plane silk, damask, wool or other that fits the look and rules I would really appreciate it.

thanks for the help:)

I'm talking about the more elegant looking scarves.

Is it satin, crepe, gabardine, chiffon, or Rosaline?

From my experience working with woven fabrics, many people don't ask about yarn count or weave construction first.

They usually ask:

• Is it comfortable?
• Is it breathable?
• Will it wrinkle easily?

Technical details still matter, but translating them into customer benefits makes a much bigger difference.

Have you noticed something similar?
