Cosplay: Help!

[shadowcatgc.livejournal.com]

So... there's a convention tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. Anyways, I was looking around for something to cosplay with, and I found a surprisingly useful amount of clothing which would enable me to cosplay Egypt. One such item was a.. er.. I'm not sure what you'd call his headpiece/hat thing, but I have one (two actually, but one of them is red).

So, the white one. That works, right? Well, problem: there's a big stain on it! It's not a really deep stain and it's only a little bit darker than the fabric, but it's still pretty big and will be obvious up close. Is there any way I may be able to remove it within the next.. twelve hours or so?

Any help would be appreciated! >_<

ANYWAY, if the cloth has been dried in a dryer or pressed in any way, the stain is already set and will never ever go away (learned this the hard way).
It also depends on the type of fabric and stain! But for most stains, I like Borax 20 Mule Team, which is safe on pretty much all fabric. Bleach also works, but can ruin some fabric.

If you know what kind of stain it is, you can look up how to fix it on the Internet. There are so many quick fix-it's out there, so definitely check it out.

If all else fails, incorporate the stain into the costume. If anyone comments on it, just make up a story of how Egypt got the stain. XD

Man, last-minute closet cosplays are my favorite! Have fun at the Con!!

Haha.. oh man, getting this out is going to be fun then.. I haven't worn this since preschool when I played a shepherd in a play. So.. I have no idea what the stain or the fabric is! XD

Hmm, I think we might have some Borax 20 around - I might use that.

Whether or not it works, thanks for the advice! ^v^

I don't know about the stain, but I think the headpiece is called a kafir

Kheffiyah might be the word?

Also, bleach the heck out of it. /not good at cleaning advice
