Thats a real hard one because silk isnt the most colourfast fabric in the world and applying any sort of stain remover would probably end up damagin the dye.

Get the customer to sign it off as owners consent but make it clear thats its poop or bust.

I think you would have to use a dye reducing agent on the marker stain but i wouldnt ever use it on silk so try dabbing the stain with a soaked cotton bud first.

other than that you could suggest recovering because buying raw silk isnt that expensive these days.
