It has been a few years now and unfortunately, the dress looks a bit worn because of the pilling. I was hesitant about getting rid of this dress, but have now discovered a way to make it a bit newer and it only takes one ingredient you may already have in your household – a razor! Â Be careful when you use the razor and pull the cloth taut. Â But if you use it correctly, the initial pilling will disappear and your clothing will be refreshed!
Here are the brief instructions for refreshing your cotton clothing:
1. Gather your razor and pilly apparel (look at all the small pills before!)
2. Pull clothing taut and glide razor over surface one section at a time.
3. A lot of pilled cotton will come off so be sure to clean your razor and clothing often (be patient and careful!)
4. Your clothing is pill free and almost as good as new!
Great tip!
the colors is so great,looks amazing,dear! love it

That dress is fantastic! Thanks for the tip – the one time I tried to do this, I sliced a hole in the sweater I was de-pilling. Good thing it was cheap! I have a cotton sweaterdress that I need to do this with – you have reminded me to be patient and go slow.
That is a beautiful dress and the color just prefect! Love the tip now I know how to help my special cotton items 🙂
Thank you! You are too sweet.
Will you believe that I’ve never tried an eliptical 🙂

Very handy tip
@the blonde duck – I used a Gillette m3 I think but any one should work!
