I bought a new top and managed to get two dark splodges on it by the neckline, so in a fairly obvious place. The spots were both about the size of the pencil end and no amount of washing and stain products would remove them. I have no idea what the marks are or how they got there, so was a bit stumped as to how to get rid of them.
I was on the verge of throwing the top away but couldn't quite bring myself to do that as I had only worn it a couple of times and it had obviously cost money to buy. Thankfully, I had a flash of inspiration, I could cover the marks over with something. My first thought was a pretty lace trim around the whole neckline and then I decided on a few mismatched mother of pearl buttons.
Having found a button that was big enough to just cover both marks but not too heavy, as it would drag the neckline down, I was pretty pleased with the results. I have got a wearable top again plus I have now got a unique piece of clothing.
