Oletteko te koskaan laiskoja pesem\u00e4\u00e4n pyykki\u00e4? Nyt on pakko tunnustaa ett\u00e4 min\u00e4 olen. Etenkin kaikki k\u00e4sin pest\u00e4v\u00e4t vaatteet tuntuvat py\u00f6riv\u00e4n pyykkikorissa luvattoman kauan. K\u00e4sin pyykk\u00e4\u00e4minen on vaan jotenkin niin hanurista kuin voi olla. Ik\u00e4v\u00e4 vain ett\u00e4 aika monet vintagevaatteet eiv\u00e4t kest\u00e4 oikein muuta kuin k\u00e4sinpesua. Mutta olen koittanut kepill\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4 monen vaatteen kohdalla ja todennut ett\u00e4 toimii. On kuitenkin joitakin vaatteita joita min\u00e4k\u00e4\u00e4n en uskalla koneeseen lyk\u00e4t\u00e4. Yksi sellainen oli ihana terrakotan v\u00e4rinen 40-luvun villakreppipusero jonka ostin jo kutakuinkin vuosi sitten kaverilta. Pusero on lojunut pyykkikopan pohjalla koska en uskaltanut kokeilla konepesua herk\u00e4n materiaalin huopumisen pelossa.<\/p>\n

Eilen vihdoin ryhdist\u00e4ydyin ja pesin puseron hell\u00e4varoen sappisaippualla. Kainalot, kaulus ja irronneen nepparin kohta olivat aika pinttyneet ja osa tahroista oli niin itsepintaisia ett\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t l\u00e4hteneet kokonaan. Pesu kuitenkin raikasti puseron kivasti eik\u00e4 hieman pinttynyt kauluksen taite edes n\u00e4y k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4. T\u00e4n\u00e4\u00e4n sain pukea puseron ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 kertaa. Yhdistin sen korkeavy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6isiin 30-luvun gangsterihousuihin (jotka on blogissakin n\u00e4hty jo useampaan kertaan)<\/strong><\/span> ja 1800-luvun lopun surukoruun jonka senkin sain vihdoin korjattua. Terrakotta ei ole lukeutunut lempiv\u00e4reihini mutta ainakin nykyiseen hiustenv\u00e4riin se sopii kivasti.<\/p>\n

\nAre you ever a bit lazy to do laundry? I have to admit that I am. Especially everything that requires handwash seem to spend ages in laundry basket. Handwash is just so much from arse as can be. Too bad that for many vintage clothes handwash is the only way. Quite many times I have pushed my luck and done the machine wash for vintage items. And it has worked. But there is some items that even I don’t dare to test. One of those was lovely terracotta coloured 40’s wool crepe blouse. I bought it about a year ago from a friend. It’s been on the bottom of the laundry basket ever since because delicate wool might have felted in machine wash.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I finally tackled the task and and washed it gently with gallop soap. Armpits, collar and area under snap button gone missing were pretty dirty and some of the stains were so persistent I wasn’t able to get them off. However wash refreshened the blouse nicely and stains on the collar don’t even show in use. Today I was finally able to wear it the very first time. I combined it with highwaisted 30’s gangster style trousers (which have been seen here many times before)<\/strong><\/span> and end-of-1800’s mourning brooch, which I was able to finally repair. Terracotta has never been one of my favourites but it definitely works with my current hair colour.<\/p>\n
