Hello,
I recently, much to my satisfaction, purchased a short sleeve, empire waist gown with embroidered bodice. The skirt, however, is irridescent taffetta and the label admonishes to "dryclean only." :( What say you all? Will I be stuck taking this thing to the cleaners if I get the barest stain on the skirt, or can you recomend a household stain remover that could enable me to clean it in the normal wash and save on laundry bills? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I'm just starting out and my knowledge of fabrics is the level of the neophyte that I am.
Thanks,
Best,
Gunda
