Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! I just taught my costume care class and it made me thing of this tip:
If you spill something oily on your costume, treat it with something powdery.
If I were home, I’d use cornstarch, but backstage talcum powder or even facial powder (as long as it’s untinted) works. You want to soak up as much of the oil as possible, as quickly as possible. Remove the oily clump of powder and repeat. As soon as you can, wash out the stain.
I’ve got some tips for that, but I’ll share them some other time.
