Getting cash for vintage wedding gowns
— Sherry N.
I have two wedding dresses, one was worn in 1957 and the other in 1989. Both were professionally dry cleaned and boxed. I am hoping to sell them but have no idea who might be interested in buying them. Any suggestions? if you insist on wearing socks that show, wear them over the leggings. your keys, sunglasses, phone and other necessities. separately. Individual flat XL top sheets are not to be found. I am left to buy sets with XL pillowcases, which are not needed. individual sheets instead of a four-piece set with unwanted pillowcases. As for crisp sheets in general, my favorites are Pinzon (amazon.com’s house brand) in the lowest possible thread count in white (no dyes). They only come in fourpiece sets, alas, but are very well priced.

Dress for hot weather but bring a wrap or sweater just in case. How about a loose, flowy midcalf small floral print? The length would enable you bend to pick up that little grandson without fear of your dress hiking up. Flat shoes are a must if you’re walking on sand, and sandals would be totally acceptable. My friend Karen R. swears by Anne Klein “Oalise” ballet flats, which are kind of dressy, and she says the pointed toe is amazingly comfortable.
You can find them on zappos.com and amazon.com starting at around $45.
“Here’s an experience I want to share. If your readers are mystified by peach-colored stains on sheets, towels, washcloths or clothing, they might be caused by chemicals in their face cream. Mine were apparently caused by the SPF 15 in Olay Total Effects moisturizer. The stains have been impossible to remove.
I called Procter & Gamble’s 800 number (they own Olay) and learned that the SPF has chemicals that react with the iron one might have in their water. Once it’s been laundered, it is impossible to remove the stains. There should be some sort warning on the label! Do your readers know of a laundering product or procedure to remove the stains?”
