I just bought a shabbos outfit for ds. And now I realize that its dry clean!!!! HELP!!!
Ds is almost 3 yrs. Im having my sisters wedding on thursday & was planning to use it then. I dont have time to go out & buy something else (besides the point that I didnt see anything else I liked.)

Is there a possibility that it can be washed by hand or machine?
Fabric contains:
58% cotton
20% viscose
18% polyester
4% lycra

HELP!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?! I cant have a 3 y/o in a dry clean outfit on shabbos!!!

You can usually hand-wash dry-clean only stuff (not wool) - you can even often wash it on gentle in the machine.

I once bought a dress for a 4 y.o. that was labelled dry-clean only. I bought it from a known and trusted lady in the community who assured me that the dress would be fine on 'delicates' in the washing machine. I can't remember the fabric of the dress, it was probably pretty high in viscose though. It washed beautifully.

Good luck!
