Stellas, Angela, question about a J&J dress

[angelaa73]

I am afraid of the red bleed in that dress. I would probably cheap out and just have her wear it without doing anything! I mean, unless its dirty it stinks or something.

I bet the other kid wore it for 2.5 seconds for pictures. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Is the silk kind of stiffer feeling or is the soft limpy kind. Hahahahahah,!,? That sounds nasty

[verypunny]

I would definitely let my kid just wear it, she gets much more dirty in her every day life than a second hand dress would make her...

Could you buy one of those at home dry cleaning things? I think they're cheap but I could be wrong.

This was going to be my suggestion.  Dryel.

I've washed silken dresses from Janie and Jack before with no problem. I just did as you said- delicate cycle on cold. No red, but there was one with bright purple flowers and I didn't see any bleeding.

Not sure if you have them near you, but we have a dry cleaner here that doesn't use chemicals. They cost an arm and a leg, but no chemicals.

Tamb, I avoid the silk stuff because I don't know how to take care of it, so I dunno!

I'd probably have her wear it for photos and then get it dry cleaned after.
