If that doesn't work, you could try a matching fabric colour or sharpie - a bit radical but it might work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-how-to-fix-damage-to-dark-wash-denim#post-1186917 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:35:32 +0000 havanagirl 1186917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Successful exchange!&nbsp; Thanks, Kimberly and Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-how-to-fix-damage-to-dark-wash-denim#post-1186667 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:37:03 +0000 havanagirl 1186667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try doing an exchange.&nbsp; I was not able to find the receipt, but when I called Nordstrom customer service, they had a record of my purchase.&nbsp; Thanks for the advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-how-to-fix-damage-to-dark-wash-denim#post-1186606 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 17:58:33 +0000 Diana 1186606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd see about getting them replaced.&nbsp; Denim should not damage that easily so I think it's likely it was a manufacturing flaw.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-how-to-fix-damage-to-dark-wash-denim#post-1186604 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 17:56:30 +0000 Kimberley 1186604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience with this brand, but I would definitely take them back into the store first and try to exchange them before doing anything else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-how-to-fix-damage-to-dark-wash-denim#post-1186600 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 17:54:34 +0000 havanagirl 1186600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix damage to dark wash denim?</p> <p>I have a pair of dark wash Paige skyline skinnies that I got to wear for work. After a recent wash, I noticed that the denim got pulled near the inseam on the thigh, leaving the material so stretched that the white threads of the material show through.&nbsp; It looks like a 1" white chalk mark and really stands out.&nbsp; I thought it was laundry detergent residue at first, but it isn't - it's fabric damage due to being pulled, perhaps by the washing machine.</p> <p>I'm not sure how to disguise it, or if it would be better to take it back to Nordstrom and see if they would replace it.&nbsp; I bought them at full price labout 3 months ago and might still have the receipt. Does anyone have any experience with this?&nbsp; What do you think they might do?&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks in advance for your ideas. </p>
