I wouldn't replace it unless you are seriously running out of tanks... which may very well be possible with the heat and humidity, for all I know.</p> <p>I do the same thing with triage, though. I bought DH a pair of 50 cent shorts... there was a spot I couldn't get out, so I tried bleach. But then the bleach bled way more then I thought. So then I bleached the whole thing, and now I have to dye the whole thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-726154 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:10:57 +0000 Anonymous 726154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny. I was trying to come up with ideas to help you save it. Seems I often have to ruin something with a midnight alteration (your term) before I can let it go. I was worried that the necklace would bang around in the washing machine and tear an even bigger hole. </p> <p>I just took three wildly patterned items and attempted to dye them solid navy. You're supposed to agitate the washing machine for a full 30 minutes before letting the dye rinse out. I set the timer so I could reset the wash cycle several times but I was outside helping hubs ruin--err fix the pool pump and all the dye washed out after about ten minutes, leaving my items a murky purple shade mixed with their previous printed glory. It was awful, truly. But then it was much easier to let them go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725844 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 23:44:49 +0000 Suz 725844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let it die. But before you bury it, cut a piece of fabric and save it, and when you go shopping, look for this colour, because it is lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725802 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:58:26 +0000 Mo 725802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny how much I can attach to a bargain basement tank top that never fit perfectly to start with lol. Thanks for the encouragement to release it and move forward </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725799 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:55:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 725799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let it go imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725796 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:54:14 +0000 Mia 725796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to let it go. Love the DVF in the earlier link.<br /> This has inspired me to dispose of a too-ruffly sleeveless silk top in my closet. It was "on probation" already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725781 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:45:51 +0000 KathyL 725781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that tank top has had it's day in the sun. If you keep having to mess with it, it's probably not worth it anymore. I do like the one you linked to but agree with Anna about the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725769 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:34:45 +0000 Anonymous 725769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RIP, tank top</p> <p>*moment of silence* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725765 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:31:01 +0000 Mo 725765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't say I have a lot of grey wearing experience . . . so I'll take your word for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725762 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:29:19 +0000 annagybe 725762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the draping, but I'm not so sure about that cement-like color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725760 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:27:46 +0000 Mo 725760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps I'd be better served upgrading to this <a href="http://www.lastcall.com/p/Diane-von-Furstenberg-Teresa-Cowl-Neck-Blouse-Diane-von-Furstenberg/prod12790021_cat1690002__/?index=3&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat000003cat3860000cat1470000cat1690002&#038;isEditorial=false&#038;navid=QuickToProduct" rel="nofollow">http://www.lastcall.com/p/Dian.....kToProduct</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/resurrect-or-just-let-it-die-a-natural-death#post-725745 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:12:23 +0000 Mo 725745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I have performed more triage on this than any other item in my closet, when I list it all out like that.

I've nipped and tucked it a couple times - first I brought in the extra armpit in the back, then shortened the straps, recently removed the embellishment. That last trick left a hole in the front of the neckline. I'm debating getting a multi chain necklace and sewing it along the neckline for camouflage. It would cost, like $3. Worth a shot? Are these even good embellishment choices for my style? Or should I just let go?</p> <p>(last pic shows the embellishment I removed. too 'sparkly glittery' for my taste) </p>
