Dry cleaning is recommended by the seller, so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised when I washed it by hand and the dye bled out somewhat. This photo was taken after several such washings, so the garment itself isn't too damaged.
I have been wanting to support local businesses (this one is in Los Angeles), but ordering had to be done by phone. There was some small problem with the order, and while the seller resolved the issue to my satisfaction, but I don't think I will be ordering again from this source.
I have another cut from this same seller which I will show you soon.
That's gorgeous, in spite of the issues that you've had with the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI can't really be bothered with dry clean only fabrics and, like you, I give them a gentle wash. Normally this works fine, and I only occasionally disappointed. I think the warning not to wash is to cover their backs in case something shrinks or bleeds or fades. Anyway it is a very pretty top.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate!
