Delicate fabrics with stains need to be rushed to dry cleaners. For the ball pen mark on your outfit, you can soak the spot with eau-de-cologne. Rub it with a coarse dry cloth. Wash as normal. Soermetimes clothes worn over a longer period of time will smell of perspiration even after you have washed them. Soak such clothes in salt water solution for an hour or sponge the spots with a solution of half a cup white vinegar to one cup of water before washing. If the stains become old, they will become stubborn and it is difficult to remove them. The solution to this is to get the outfit dyed and renewed into a new shade preferrably the color of the stain.
