I am concerned about preserving the gown but want to remove the spots and discoloration. I have only soaked in Ivory snow and some borax so far. Some of the discoloration went away. The idea of using very dilute Clorox solution scares me. Your thoughts to remove the mold/mildew spots. Thank you.<br />Barbara Jones abjonesga@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898436565218178652.post-33330731944431404082011-05-23T21:20:36.339-05:002011-05-23T21:20:36.339-05:00Just beautiful!!!Just beautiful!!!Michie'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898436565218178652.post-1447987228164040152011-05-23T15:13:52.133-05:002011-05-23T15:13:52.133-05:00What a wonderful treasure... priceless for the fam...What a wonderful treasure... priceless for the family!
