Hello all you crafty people !
I have a question regarding some beautiful black antique lace that I have inherited from my great aunt. She told me it was originally harvested from a dismantled Victorian gown...I have strips of the lace, sleeves, and hand stitched crocheted discs and sequin, seed bead & paste trims and ornate buttons which she cut from the gown but never used. Although the lace has been stored in bags and is in excellent condition, it
has aquired a musty odour and I would like to sell this lace on, but need to sort this out first. Can anyone give advice on how I can safely freshen it up wthout shrinking or ruining it? Many thanks in advance !
