Is there a home remedy for cleaning a yellowed wedding dress made of tafeta and chiffon overlay?

My dress is tafeta with lace and chiffon overlay. I had had it professionally cleaned 30 some years ago and wanted to use it as decoration in my house before my daughter's wedding this June. When I opened the box, the dress was yellowed as was part of the hat. Can I do something to remove the yellow without taking it to the dry cleaner?

Is there a home remedy for cleaning a yellowed wedding dress made of tafeta and chiffon overlay?
* Sorry No; it's safer to have it professionally cleaned. The process is too hard to perform at home %26amp; dry cleaning is involved.





* Oxygen in the air has oxidized optical brightener on garment, giving a yellow appearance.





* Suggest having the dress vacuum sealed and boxed after your daughter's wedding.





Good luck!
