You might recall the J. Crew silkscreen print linen tee I wore for my first travel day (and several days during my recent trip.) Bought this tee last year and love it. (Pic 1)

Well, on my return, Mr. Suz put it into the laundry, delicate cycle, cold water, with a bunch of my other stuff...including my stepdaughter's cheap purple cotton maxi skirt.

Guess what happened???

It may not be obvious here, but the background of my shirt is now a faint lavender rather than a creamy white. And I am so, so sad.

It also shrunk a wee bit but that is easy to deal with -- it sometimes happens with this shirt and I just get it wet and block it to the shape I prefer.

Fortunately, I can wear lavender reasonably well. But I would far prefer to get the stain out!

We tried bleach for unbleachables already, to little avail. (Blue might be a little less, but not much.)

Anything else I can do?
