    I know this is way out there but if you are not feeling comfortable about the dress can I suggest you buy another one off the peg like in Debenham or M&s. Sorry if this is your dream dress and I am talking out of place but it might be easier than trying to get the stain out....

    I wish I could have just gone out and bought one (I'd have done that from the start) but I'm as big girl so no chance of off the peg. Hence why I had to have this one custom made

    I'm just gonna wear it "back to front" so the mark is on the back and not take my shrug off.

    Thanks for all the advice though :)

    Thanks PootleFlump :)

    Joho....I could kiss you......bleach on a cotton bud has worked!! The pen staining has gone and I've just got the little green line now. It's much less obvious!!

    Green line/thread has gone now too...it was woven into the fabric but thanks to my seamstress mother in law she suggested picking it with a needle and it pulled straight out *d'oh*!!

    SO SO very happy.....thank you ALL for your advice :T:T:T:T:T:T
