OFFICE CALVIN KLEIN DRESS

I bought this dress years and years ago from T.J.Maxx close to nothing, but was never able to wear it at work because of the all-black dress code. I like the sleek feminine lines very much, the length (long enough) and the thick fabric. What I don't like is that it is dry clean only. It's a whole lot of money and coordination so I prefer not to do it at all. Modern washers with gentle cycles are often suitable for most items you'd consider dry clean only (not including fur and leather). On top of using the gentle cycle I also place it in a big mesh washing bag and let air dry instead of the dryer.
