Chewing gum on clothes?

How do you get chewing gum out of clothes? I sat on chewing gum in one of my favourite dresses and can't get it out..

Thanks in advance

    Lighter fluid will dissolve gum. Just put it on and wait about 45 seconds or so and start rubbing it off with a towel/sponge/fingers/comb. I'm not sure of your dresses fabric but it should work fine on washable fabrics.

    I hope you save your dress!

    Put the item in the freezer over night, peel off (hopefully) used to work with my parents lol

    First, try and get as much material as you can get off with your hands. Secondly get your iron and rub it against your dress, the heat will cause the gum to shrink and it won't be visible on your shirt.

    Put your dress in the freezer for a while and then pick it off.
