To Renovate Velvet

A velvet dress may be renovated by hanging it up in a bathroom filled with steam from the hot water faucet.

Stop up the doors and windows so that the steam will not escape, and spread out the garment over a dress hanger suspended from the ceiling so that the steam can reach it on all sides, and the velvet will not be pressed against anything. Let it dry in the same position. It should not be touched in any way until it is absolutely dry. The steam should be turned off and the windows opened when it is ready for drying.
