That whole idea of avoiding food or drink until after the ceremony? It disappeared the minute you saw your Aunt Edna’s brownie tray, and now you have a chocolate smudge marring your white gown. So what to do?
Before your big day, gather the following supplies and keep them handy:
- A set of white cotton towels or cloths.
- A stain-remover stick.
- White soap.
- White or off-white chalk.
- Baby powder.
- A sewing kit with double-sided tape.
Attack that brownie smudge by cleaning it with plain white soap and a damp white cotton cloth. Spot-treat it with a stain remover stick, and, if necessary, follow with a bit of chalk or baby powder to blend any remaining discoloration. If you have a bouffant skirt, you can use double-sided tape to hide the stain in a fold.
