Steamers are great for vintage clothes. Most times you can steam instead of washing delicate vintage clothing especially if you have only worn it for a few hours out to dinner or the such. Keeps the clothing fresher for longer.
Steaming is gentler than the iron so I use it on all my vintage instead of ironing. I also use it at the vinatge fair as things seems to get creased in the travel to and from.
This steamer I am getting was only $49 (from i think$160) on the 'scoopon or groupon' email deal. I ordered it start of Jan and I am still waiting. Hopefully it comes soon. I NEED it.
I will let you know what this one is like when I get it. Some steamers are great, some not so much. My friend has one that leaves water marks. I have my fingers crossed that this one is good.
I love your old manky flower frames! my mother has one in her kitchen, that I have begged to bring back home with me. she loves it to death to say the least! someday it will be mine.
very nice!!
