[Northkeep] anyone know how to fix bleach splatter on a tunic ?

[Stephanie Drake]

Cicily and I agree that the tunic will best be fixed by cutting off several
inches of the bottom, where all the blotching is located, and sewing on a
wide band of a contrasting color.  If we add a band to the sleeves as well
(and perhaps a reverse facing) it will look like it was supposed to be that
way all along.  :)  Due to the unfortunate placement of the blotches, a
patch really is not the best way to cover this up.
