Laundering Crepe.

To launder a cotton crepe waist soak for an hour in takewarm soapsuds, using any good soap. Then wash carefully, so as not to stretch. Shake well and pull lengthwise. Hang on a coat hanger and put in the sun to dry. This helps to keep the shape across the shoulders. It is best to cover the coat hanger with a Turkish towel or clean cloth. It is also a good plan to tack a piece of tape from the neck to the armhole. When laundered in this manner crepe waists will retain both their appearance and their shape. - 7
