Dryer or freezer. If you have the possibility, you could activate your dryer by inserting scented sheets. It doesn't have to be a complete cycle; about ten minutes is enough. Alternatively, put your clothes in the freezer. The cold eliminates odors.
Newspaper. Take yesterday's newspaper and crumple it up in the sleeves, armpits, or clothing legs. The porous paper will consume most, if not all, of the odor. This method also applies to smelly shoes.
Fresh air and sunlight. Nothing takes away a bad smell like fresh air. Even if you don't have a garden clothesline, you can hang your dress in front of an open window for about an hour. Additionally, sunlight can kill bacteria thanks to ultraviolet rays.
Vodka. It may seem like a gamble, but you can sprinkle some cheap, smooth vodka next to your clothes. When the alcohol evaporates, it brings smells with it.
