I would clean her like a piece of fine furniture. Always do the least harsh way. Vacuum her like you said, then try steaming. If she still needs a little work, try wiping her down with a damp cloth dipped in woolite/water solution. And press a clean towel against her to absorb as much water as possible. The least amount of water you use, the better. Then air dry and repeat if necessary. Finish with a spritz of lavender water or Fabreeze. Hope that helps!<br />Patricia :o)Vintage Linen Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428311296779410777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657287890628516897.post-48039990857182806782010-05-25T07:28:14.911-05:002010-05-25T07:28:14.911-05:00Hi, I just recently purchased a vintage dress form...Hi, I just recently purchased a vintage dress form at a yard sale & I would like to clean her up; however, she is linen or cotton linen and does not have a cover - the fabric is attached to the form. What do you think is the best way to try to clean her? I don't really want to put my clothes on her until she is sanitized - she lived with cats before & the first thing I did was to vaccuum her! :-)<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657287890628516897.post-47414943160775065592010-02-03T19:18:47.211-06:002010-02-03T19:18:47.211-06:00OH MY!!!!

The price of $125.00 wasn't bad!~ I think that you did well even to get the price whittled down from $175.00!..,<br /><br />What a procedure!~ Good for you! You sure were thorough with cleaning her! (The vision of your husband carting her home for you is priceless)!..,<br /><br />I can hardly wait to see her, all bedecked in lace in the photos of her in your guest room! Lovely I'm sure!<br /><br />Have a marvelous,"tea-licious" and blessed New Year in 2010 my dear lady!<br /><br />~As a tea affectionado, I warmly invite you in this busy season to enjoy a wee respite by visiting my little tea party over at my, Silken Purse and The plumed Pen blogs..,<br /><br />"Hot chocolate, steamed flavored milk and coffee, along with some fashionable little tea cookies, perfect as befits the theme of (your little dress form); will also be served for those who prefer.~ Do also bring M'lady dressed in her finest!<br /><br />Cheers form Silken Purse @ The Plumed PenWanda Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272566299798973586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657287890628516897.post-60688678503570498092009-12-29T14:49:53.765-06:002009-12-29T14:49:53.765-06:00I can't wait to see her completed and all dres...I can't wait to see her completed and all dressd in a lovely robe! I wonder why the shredded paper and I wonder how she got so dirty? I think of dress forms as being dressed in new clothing etc.<br />This is the first time I have seen one all padded..but they probably are in alteration shops etc. Dress makers probably have the padded ones. I am thinking of the kind in stores. Is my ignorance showing? YES! :)<br /><br />Is she apart of your guest room decor permanently? Or would you use her for sewing? <br />I almost bought a half one in a shop that was using it on the counter to display antique jewelry. I still wish I had bought her..of course her head was on..and she was covered in a black material. And I have hats ...sigh..<br />A lesson learned. YOu were smart to take m'lady home with you!Wsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.com
