Glitter on dresses

[luvs2beachit]

I have a dress that I love and paid quite a bit for but it has glitter on the jacket and it goes all over. I am like Hanzel and Gretel, I leave a trail where

ever I go! I have only worn the dress once but because of this problem I am ready to get rid of it. But then I thought that maybe if I post my issue on this board someone might have a great suggestion on how to rectify the problem.

Thanks

I have a shirt I love that does that. I'd like to know how to fix it too :confused:

How about going to a Michael's Crafts & ask one of the sales reps there? They might have some clear drying spray fixative (aka hairspray!) that might work for you.

I posted on this thread earlier this evening and guess it either was eaten up by cyberspace or bounced.

 

Hairspray works - sorta, but my best advice is to leave the dress/item at home and do a favor to whoever will sit in the chair you just vacated. Glitter is almost impossible to get off clothes, and if it gets in your eye (as I had happen b/c it got on my napkin, then on my hand, and then in my eye), it is very painful. I have a dress that has glitter, but it doesn't shed at all, but I never take on cruises just in case.

Put the article of clothing in the dryer by itself on the air only cycle for a while. Then, shake it out with all your might. You will cut down drastically, but not completely, on the glitter problem.

 

When you pack, make sure to put a plastic bag over the item, tying it at the bottom, so it won't glitter the rest of your wardrobe.

 

Never, ever buy a glittered item again. I passed on a dress I found on sale recently because it had obviously been next to a glittered garment. The dress fit me perfect, looked great, the price was right, but I knew I'd never get the embeded glitter off of it.

 

Better yet, can you return the dress, or wear it without the jacket?

Mine is just a tank top I wear with a pair of embellished jeans - I don't travel with it :D

 

It never lost the glitter until I washed it (handwash, inside out) :rolleyes:

I will never buy glitter on anything to wear again. It never stops coming off :eek: Now I do purchase bling on a few things :D

Thanks for all the feedback..........I think I am just going to go with my original plan and get rid of the dress..........

Thanks.

I also have a beautiful dress with glitter.I was so excited I didn't notice the glitter coming off till I got out of my chair at dinner. I was soooo embarressed! The dress is still hagning in a bag in my closet never to be worn again

Adhere to any surface using a mini glue dot.
