  1. Just followed a dry-cleaner's advice, against my own better judgment, and hand-washed (cold water, of course, drip dry after rolling in towel) a 50s dress in perfect condition but for some dustiness. Dress came out perfect, but skirt lining (only part that was lined) shrank up to nothing, distorting the skirt. Had to rip the lining out. Dress is still beautiful, and at a seamstress being rehemmed by someone with better sewing skills than I. Not a complete disaster, but made me really angry and unsure whether to punch the dry-cleaner or myself in the nose!
