古いシミなので、完全に落とすのは難しいかもしれません。
ふるいしみなので、かんぜんにおとすのはむずかしいかもしれません。
Since it's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove it completely.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the specific stain on the garment with your index finger gently.
Do not rub or scratch the stained silk fabric with your fingernails, as vintage garments are extremely fragile.
