I love dre...Dear Steph,<BR/><BR/>You look marvelous, daaling? I love dressing up too and am especially admiring your gorgeous hats. I wish we could get together for a dress up party!<BR/><BR/>Here are a few guidelines for taking care of your vintage fur.<BR/>My friends have gifted me with several vintage pieces and I wear them infrequently and store them in a dark closet and open the door to air it out every so often.<BR/><BR/>Do not leave the fur anywhere were bright sunlight can get to it. This will fade out the color before you know it, and furs always fade in a spotty way making them unwearable (inevitably by virtue of how light hits it, it will be faded out more quickly in one place before another). A closet will do. Ideally, you could have it stored in a temperature controlled environment.<BR/>Make sure you hang the fur on a good, big hanger. No hooks or racks. It should be hung as if it were sitting on your shoulders. This will make the seams last longer if they do not have stress on them. <BR/>No plastic bags or garment bags or suitcases or boxes etc. This will only crush the pelts. Much better to leave hanging in a dark closet. If you want to cover it use a cotton sheet or large cotton pillow case.<BR/>No brushing or combing or anything that will cause the fur to shed out unnecessarily. I have had luck with light brushing to get out something stuck in the fur, but anything beyond that will be too much for a vintage fur to handle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-30158205976352340312008-04-16T20:14:00.000-07:002008-04-16T20:14:00.000-07:00Steph, what wonderful photographs, each marking a ...Steph, what wonderful photographs, each marking a milestone.
