Help! Someone left meat in my daughter's trunk and went unnoticed for 2 weeks! She had a very heavy fabric Renaissance costume cape in the trunk that has completely soaked up the rotten smell! She needs to wear this! I've tried regular Tide. Then washed with vinegar instead of detergent. It still reeks! Now soaking in vinegar water, but running out of hope.

Use Nok-Out. You must saturate the fabric completely. You can buy it on Amazon
You might try using baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal. There's an odor eliminator @ Lowe's: www.lowes.com/
Since you have already tried the most recommended DIY ways to remove the odor you may have to consider taking the costume to a high-end dry cleaner.
They usually have the products to take care of problems like this. However, be sure they know exactly what happened and also what methods you have tried that did not work.
This may be expensive but if you need this soon, it may be the only way.
Some people use a strong clothes steamer but since this may be detrimental to the fabric, this may not be a good idea.
