That is one of the reasons why I don't like to spend too much on clothes and accessories (I'm always worried that I will lost them or that sth will happen to them). It is good that you were able to see an upper side of it---bringing business to community (eat local, get a local stain and clean local- now that is a good motto).<br /><br />As I read the above comment, I learned something new. It would never occur to me to spray suede clothing but I'm sure it works. I will keep it in mind. <br /><br />I hope you had a lovely weekend and I wish you a great week ahead.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-83396167021086910772016-02-19T18:12:27.673-08:002016-02-19T18:12:27.673-08:00Oh, I feel for you Natalia!
This once happened to ...Oh, I feel for you Natalia!<br />This once happened to me with an expensive pair of lamb suede trousers. It was one of my most $$$ purchases, but I was in the biz, and thought I should look nice. Well, I had them altered, and that cost a bundle.<br />I put them on, went to the sink to put my contact lenses in, and the water from the sink stained them. I took them off knowing that they were ruined forever, the were so buttery and fine, that no brush would help.<br />Cow suede is better, the rougher texture is more forgiving, and being careful is key. but that is no fun!<br />Ultra suede is made with chemicals that do not break down.<br />Scotchguard is toxic, unless you can spray outdoors.<br />What to do? <br />I do love this dress on you, so I am glad you have it despite all.<br />They should make giant napkins!!<br />xx, Elle<br />http://www.theellediaries.com/The Elle Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352057220124245797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-41197870106619393062016-02-19T12:19:58.634-08:002016-02-19T12:19:58.634-08:00If I had anything that lovely, I am sure I would b...If I had anything that lovely, I am sure I would be in the same position.I live by carrying shout wipes with me now, but don't suppose it would be great on suede. As always, you look beautiful and I am glad you and Justin had a terrific night out. Give him my greetings and I hope he jumps into Write and Link this month.

I love this dress, I just thought it was funny I got a stain the first time I wore it. I laughed about it. :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-55809411105579750882016-02-19T10:41:35.302-08:002016-02-19T10:41:35.302-08:00I feel the same way about my clothes (wash & w...I feel the same way about my clothes (wash & wear totally) but I do like interesting textures so I won't stop myself from buying something just for the fact of worrying about upkeep! Therefore, I agree with Vix....but also, if stains don't come out I try to get creative in other ways. For one, if you add the stain in many a place, then it's a design not a mistake. Another way would be to add a "patch" (which could be an interesting piece of this or that) over it---and somewhere else, of course--to make it look intended! It's an absolutely gorgeous dress so I hope you wear it more (and love it without worry). jodie<br />www.jtouchofstyle.comJodie's Touch of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453914318183037853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-57429696829182283702016-02-19T08:14:56.559-08:002016-02-19T08:14:56.559-08:00Thank you for your advice - you are a pro!

I use a suede eraser to remove marks on my clothes (and the ones I buy for the stockroom), it might work for your fab frock.<br />Good to see signs of Spring, it seems very far away here. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-26860396792718998792016-02-19T04:59:15.669-08:002016-02-19T04:59:15.669-08:00I agree with Beate, spray it first!
