Removing Stickers from Delicate Clothing

How would I remove a mark left behind from removing the sizing sticker tape off a shirt? The mark is not sticky, but is paler than rest of the shirt (green) and certainly noticeable. I've removed hundreds of these size stickers without this having happened! The shirt if made of cotton/silk, and dabbing the mark with Woolite hasn't had any effect. Thanks!

It sounds like the adhesive from the sticker has bonded with the fabric. You might try using rubbing alcohol to break down the adhesive, then scrub it a bit. The rubbing alcohol shouldn't hurt your fabric.
