"She wore a raspberry buh-ra..." ;)

For the stained linen, I heartily recommend a product called Soilove. My 
mother-in-law turned me on to it. It's great stuff!  I recently used it to take 
out coffee stains on a cotton shirt that had already been through the washer 
and dryer. 

Hope this helps!
