I am in desperate need of help with a christening gown. My sister-in-law, in the last 2-3 years, saw fit to try to repair a 105 year old christening gown with super glue. The gown has tine, vertical panels of lace, interspersed with fabric on the yoke of the gown. The lace separated from the fabric, so she used the super glue to mend it. She not only got the glue on the front, but since she had folded it at the shoulder seams, there is some on the back yoke. The gown itself is of lightweight cotton. I have not attempted anything to get the glue out as of yet. A museum wasn't able to help, and the glue company recommended acetone. Does anyone on the list have any ideas? The gown was made for my grandmother who was born in 1901, supposedly by her aunts. We can document 31 babies baptized in the gown. Two sets of twins have been born, so the parents chose the oldest twin to use the gown. My son would like his son to use the gown, but I am afraid to use it in this condition. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Judith A. Brown
