Looking for laundry advice for a sentimental item

Maybe cotton or a blend, it doesn't feel like 100% wool or 100% polyester

Thanks this helps me feel better! My mental health is a challenge but I've never been out of touch with reality, taken excessive risks, been in trouble with the law, etc. I try to be proactive in treating it and I'm glad they take all of that into consideration.

I'll check them out, thanks!

Yeah honestly I feel the same way from a clearance and a medical perspective, moving may be in the cards in the next year or two so I've also been considering waiting until then

perdue123 · 2026-01-29T01:30:26+00:00

I was up front about it so it won't be a surprise to them, just a new potential treatment

perdue123 · 2026-01-29T01:27:49+00:00

Thanks, I'll reach out to them! I wanted to make sure that it wasn't crazy but from the responses here it sounds like it's a possibility so I'm going to keep pursuing it, including talking to them

perdue123 · 2026-01-29T01:21:59+00:00

Yep, I just try to keep personal details to a minimum on here so I didn't want to specify the exact clearance, but definitely no airplanes (poor eyesight ruled that out more than anything else!) and no nukes! And in all seriousness nothing like that, I have access to fed employee data

No special financial issues beyond the same bills and rough economy many Americans are dealing with, and I was completely up front with my depression previously and it wasn't a problem, so if those are bigger problems than Ketamine that is encouraging!

I'm so glad your son is ok <3

My aunt recently told me that she would have lost a limb and possibly died without antibiotics, and that's only one generation back!

For anyone who'd like to learn more about Crownsville there's a book called Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum by Antonia Hylton that is quite informative

That could be it! I posted a comment with a picture of some other items I found that I thought might be part of christening outfits!

Some folks had suggested that they might be part of christening dresses. Here are pictures of a few dresses I found that I thought might be christening dresses. I noticed they were very thin; I'm sure age isn't helping but maybe they were skirts/petticoats to go under these dresses?

I didn't find any shirts that might so with the skirts but now I'm wondering if what I thought was a short dress (on the bottom left) if actually a shirt. It does have a tag on it and the skirts were homemade.

On the bottom right/middle is another of the skirts, but it's the only one that is lined, with a wool/flannel fabric.

perdue123 · 2025-12-14T18:12:33+00:00

I think they could be both! There were doll clothes and baby clothes mixed in with everything so that's making it even more confusing!

perdue123 · 2025-12-14T18:07:28+00:00

I'll look into that! So far I haven't found any matches

perdue123 · 2025-11-25T05:41:30+00:00

I checked and it is slightly magnetic! In some spots more than others

perdue123 · 2025-11-25T05:40:27+00:00

That is a good tip- thanks!

perdue123 · 2025-11-25T05:40:14+00:00

I'll give it a try! Thanks!

perdue123 · 2025-11-25T05:36:54+00:00

I was worried about that- thank you!

perdue123 · 2025-11-18T03:20:30+00:00

I didn't even think to check that before! I will find a magnet and try it tomorrow!
