I would try either ivory soap or woolite, using warm or cool water. Gently warp it in a white cloth (Lessens the strain of the vintage fabric) and gently submerge into the water. Let it soak for about 15 minutes the lift up and down a few times... gently squeeze out the water and place on dry towel to dry. when dry gently press with warm iron.
Do a search on cleaning and storing white satin garments. Then, make sure you store the dress in acid-free paper and boxes, never in plastic. Perhaps a dry cleaner that offers wedding gown preservation can help.
Is the fabric actual satin or a poly? Have you consulted with a cleaning pro?

Mix one part Dawn with two parts peroxide in your chosen container. Step 2: Then add 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda and water enough to soak.
Remove the item and rinse it thoroughly with clean water.

I've successfully removed yellowing from vintage fabric with Oxyclean. You may have to soak more than once and then air dry after rinsing it out.
