Hi everyone, and for Alessandra with grey looking silk lace
In time for your September event, you can wash the lace in a mild
detergent (not soap) and warm water - such as you would use on your hands,
or hair (silk is protein, like hair). Rinse the lace in several waters.
Depending on the lace, you can allow it to dry on a clean metal surface
(place it dripping wet and at a slight angle to let the water drain away,
it should dry reasonably flat on the metal surface). You could also damp
dry the lace between two towels, and allow to air dry overnight. You can
carefully iron it at warm, unless there are many picots that will need
pinning out. If there is not enough time to fuss with it, do give it a
wash and light press, and arrange to block it after the wedding, that is,
if the recipient will part with it.
