I made this outfit for a lady's daughter; she's in a pageant. I used regular fabric chalk to mark the buttonholes, but there are still a few marks showing. The lady has washed to blouse twice and there are still two stains on it. They have to be out by day's end. Help me!

If it is washable try Oxiclean. I have used it on many stains & most have come out. Wet the area, sprinkle on Oxiclean then wash as usual. you may need to rub it in a little. I have gotten out year old grass & grease stains with this method I think it should work for chalk.
