Okay last post and then will leave you all alone for while
This little ODLR is NWT. If you can believe it, it was hanging in a barn! It was $345.00 back in its day so imagine my surprise. I am so sad it is missing its belt but was still lucky to find. It has all its rhinestones and beads. The issue is the spots - I believe rust stains? I know I have seen other threads on this topic but was hoping to get some advice for this particular dress. The tags indicate it is 100% silk. From previous experience, I am pretty sure dry cleaner won't be able to help stains too much and I am petrified to do anything by hand for fear of water stains and shrinking the lining, etc.
So question - is it worth attempting to sell "as is" in hopes that someone more experienced may be interested or should I take the plunge and try something?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this topic. Thank you all.
