If it's a lower class chemise, why not cut out the mouldy bits and patch
them. Adds character!

Hi all,
I wore my favourite lower class chemise for cooking a feast a few
weeks ago and flung it in the laundry basket. Since the weather's been
rather rainy here lately it stayed there a while, and it must have had
something wet up against it. Anyway, the other day I took it out and
put it in the wash and didn't notice until I hung it out that it was mouldy
- it has big patches of black red and yellow speckles all over the
back.
Obviously washing hasn't done anything. Any suggestions for
getting rid of the mould, or am I just going to have to make a new chemise?
The chemise is actually a linen-cotton blend, a fairly sturdy fabric.
