a skirt that is 93% polyester and 7% spandex fabric?
Have you tried putting the skirt in the freezer just long enough to make the gum easy to remove? That might work!
Put the skirt in the freezer overnight - when you take it out quickly rap the gum with a small hammer - that will break the gum to pieces and Viola it's gone!
Scrape off whatever you can without damaging the fabric, then use a clean white cloth and Goo Gone to gently remove the rest of the gum. You will need to pretreat the area with a stain remover, i.e. Stain Stick or Spray 'n Wash, and launder on a stain setting with Tide laundry detergent. Soak the article of clothing first in the washing machine in cold water and then run a regular cold cycle or extra heavy soil cycle with cold water. You may need to launder twice to remove any of the Goo Gone that remains on the clothing.
