ASK WAYNE Graduated 1968 from the International Fabricate Institute in Stluerspring, Maryland. Q: With so many designers emphasizing “shoulders”. this season, what's, the best way to maintain the shape of my garment's shoulder pads so they look best on me? A: Any change in the condition of posi- tioning of your pads may affect how the gar- ment drapes on your body. To maintain their shape, remove large shoulder pads from frag- ile garments before drycleaning or washing because larger pads dry more slowly and may tear loose from the shell fabric. It is generally not necessary to remove smaller pads; how- ever, check to see that they are tightly secured io the garment. Replace any broken tracks before you begin the care process. Some shoulder pads may need reshaping or a quick retacking, which can be done by your profes- sional cleaner. For frequently cleaned gar- ments, consider having the thread tacking replaced with Velcro strips. These make pad removal a snap!
