Try baking soda.
Also try using a polyurethane spray on the dresser draws to seal the wood.
you can pick up this spray at Lowes or Home depot.
you will be without your draws for a day but should seal out the smell.

Take EVERYTHING out of the dresser and spray the inside with a mixture of water and ammonia. Let sit for a couple of days. Wash everything again and put 1 cup of plain vinegar in every load when you add your soap. This should get rid of any lingering odors. Also, add liquid fabric softener to the wash. I find if I add it to the rinse cycle that it makes the clothes too slimey, but adding with the soap serves the same purpose. There is no need to throw out the clothes. The vinegar should do the trick.

First, throw the smelly undies away. Wash all others. Take the drawer out, wipe it down with a rag dampened with lemon juice and let air dry in a sunny spot. Put a cloth with a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the drawer. That should fix your problem and leave the rest smelling really nice!

put dryer sheets in them or take your clothes out then sprinkle some baking soda or powder with baking soda and let it sit for a few days then clean them out. sometimes the sizing, the chemical that they use on the fabric of items can get be really strong.

First of all...THROW THEM OUT.
Secondly, by yourself a nice lavender bag and place it in your drawer.
