The tags are still attached to this dress so I am reluctant to have the bit of closet dust that this dress accumulated over time fully dry cleaned - I will take it to Joe my tailor and (like I do all my clothing) have him prep it for me and make sure the Hems etc are all in good form. Most likely he can steam clean the dust without fully cleaning a mint unworn collectible vintage treasure like this : ) it's minor at best as you can see in the photos. Feel free to ask questions🌸
