You could try nail polish remover - PLEASE TRY A SMALL BIT 1ST! and I've even been told that milk could lift pen marks from fabric. Otherwise, get down to the dry cleaners for expert advice.
Reply:This is the best advice I can give you Call you dry cleaners first-- then, to do it yourself -- cold water first, use nothing else, if it comes out -- but, then, take a slight amount of "goo goo gone" (to remove adhesives,) etc. and spread slightly on the spot. See if it begins coming out with a soft toothbrush. If so, use about a tsp. and rub spot until it leaves. Then rinse, with cold water. Apply with a Q-tip or soft cloth. Otherwise, I don't think it will come out. That's ashame. I bet this is a beautiful dress, too.
Reply:Try Fairy Washing Soap. its sold in a long cardboard box.Two Bars in box.I think this is great washing soap.Wet and rub plenty on,Us a soft brush untill it moves the stain.

Reply:Lets face facts - if you cant get it out, the dress is ruined anyway. So... I've had good luck with Mostenbocker's Lift Off Graffitti Remover. Do not scrub on the sill - spray on, then gently rub with the tip of your finger. You may have to repeat, with a towel underneath so you can rise the stain through the fabric. After the stain is gone (hopefully), there may be a water ring. I can usually get rid of these by a free flow rinse with naptha (DANGER NAPTHA IS FLAMMABLE - USE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS). Hand the dress and let the naptha run all the way down the fabric, then let air dry.


Good Luck
Reply:I was once told to use milk to soften the ink, works with biro don't know about permanent marker, how about trinitroethaline solvent.
Reply:Methylated spirit works quickly to remove ink, but in may also remove dye . Try first in a similar piece of material., It should not be used on nylon,triacetate or acetate. It also removes grass stains
