Thank you all for some good replies, I do have some of those vanish sheets so hopefully it will remove the pink from the white clothing which includes the underarm seam of a 30 year old hand knitted aran. I am going to be cautious with the top for now as I haven't yet washed it, so the lace is still white and the top still red. If all else fails I will definately be tempted to make up a new insert to tack over the top of the commercially made one. Sorry about not including lace content in my first email but I didn't expect so many of you to be around to answer:-) and brain not in gear.
Now some proper lace content. I have another new top, not yet worn, grey with pattern and a few sequins over the top and the neck line is a tad low on me, so a modisty panel would definately be useful. Having never yet made anything that actually had to fit clothing yet I have no idea where to start. Maybe a paper pattern shape drawn with some seam allowed extra?
