Manuela, you did reply to my problem on the other thread, thank you for the advice. I have been thinking about which repair would be the least 'in your face'.
I intend to try the brake cleaner option (after trying it on a scrap of course), but if it doesn't work, I've had a look, and I think and applique may work. At least it's at the back of the dress. I have some of that stuff that you iron on, to apply appliques, so it's worth a shot.
Of all the problems I could have had with this dress, this was
not one I was expecting!
It was actually shaping up quite nicely.....
