Subject: Smelly dress recommendations

Hi! I recently bought a dress and at the time I didn’t notice.. but brought it home and it smells TERRIBLE (sweaty, B.O). Anyone have any recommendations on how to get rid of the smell or at least make it a little better so my daughter can wear it? We will try anything! Thanks!

Try storing with dryer sheets laying in the offending area, mainly pits, I would imagine. Good luck 🍀

Anything else is just a cover-up that will resurface when wearing

[> I tried all the usual tricks on our stinky dress (it was unwearable, made dd sick to her stomach to smell especially when it got warm) so cautiously hand-washed the top only in cold water and Woolite. It was so scary til it dried, but it worked great and you can’t tell, no loss of stones or color running -- If you’re desperate, 19:06:57 12/03/22 Sat (cpe-104-231-227-250.new.res.rr.com/104.231.227.250)
