Hi, all!
I am thinking about buying a sample dress. It's been passed around on craigslist a bit, so it's a great deal. It's a gorgeous dress and fit me very well, but there are some problems so I walked away from the deal. Now I'm having second thoughts because it's a high end dress that I would never be able to afford new.
I think this must have been a sample dress. There is dirt on the material around the zipper (it's likely been pulled on and off a lot of times) and also dirt around the bottom of the dress where it's been dragged around the floor.
There is also a blue mark on the train. I think it might have been an ink mark of some kind. I'm less concerned about this...it's not too noticeable.
Lastly, the current owner is a smoker.
My question is to those who have had their dresses cleaned...how much of the dirt actually comes out? Also, how much did cleaning cost? (I wouldn't be getting the dress preserved at this point.)
Thanks for your help!
