I have faith that you can make it work after shortening the sleeves; I think it'd look wonderful with short sleeves.<br /><br />Vintage clothes are so hard to work with since many of them don't come with a care label. I usually dry clean the ones that I'm afraid of ruining/shrinking but as for washing them myself, I can't give you any helpful advice! I suck.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854908424795048764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690590637219697526.post-61835824775120571052009-10-23T12:56:25.464+08:002009-10-23T12:56:25.464+08:00I think the chloe dress is lovely without the slee...I think the chloe dress is lovely without the sleeves! I completely understand the disappointment with ruining dresses....I have tried to shorten a number of dresses, only to accidently hem them too short, and ruin the dress!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594208084709604324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690590637219697526.post-32229145785272345642009-10-23T09:40:23.990+08:002009-10-23T09:40:23.990+08:00those disappointments really suck! at least you...those disappointments really suck! at least you've got some gorgeous items, though, with or without defects!<br /><br />and the velvet jacket is LOVELY. black velvet is something I'm obsessed with right now. maybe wear it with a ruffle-y bow blouse?

Your crochet top may be able to be stretched if you wet it with cold water and then stretch it by hand - that's what I did with a handwash dress I thought I had ruined and it was fine - just do it gently!<br /><br />Polly xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690590637219697526.post-60729439463660913172009-10-21T18:02:41.495+08:002009-10-21T18:02:41.495+08:00Thank you so much for your comfort and suggstions!...Thank you so much for your comfort and suggstions!
