Those dry clean only tags are really just an evil plot by the Dry Cleaners Association of America to make more money off my korean food colored coat.

Edit: My bad. My fashionista side didn't know that Kimchi & Blue is a clothing label.

Did she ever say why she didn't want to dry clean it?

She said it wasnt a money issue, but she never mentioned why she didnt want to take it in.

[kwanboa]

It is because she has successfully washed dry-clean-only articles before, apparently.

[ange420]

Yeah it appears to be out of sheer laziness.

I dry clean out of laziness. I hate ironing.

[bellasmommy]

I don't really see the snark, but okay.

[chrispina]

the chick who freaks out and calls her a cheap a$$ is more snarkworthy.

[batswing]

Well not that snarkworthy, but
it so freaking annoying because half my wardrobe is dry clean only .. i feel like i have to plan a month ahead to wear anything :P

..So check labels and don't buy dry-clean only clothes, maybe?
Or is that too radical these days?

[bellatrouble]

Apparently. I just don't see why you would buy something that says dry clean only and expect it to be able to be washed any other way. If there's other options most labels will say dry clean or hand wash, etc.. etc..

[blushingflower]

Yeah, the general rule is if it says "only" that means there's no other way to clean it. If it just says "dry clean" you can sometimes get away with the delicate cycle.
I'm wondering if that girl has only recently discovered her allergy to the chemicals after buying a new wardrobe. Because that's the only thing that makes sense to me. I try not to buy dry clean only clothes just because it's a pain in the ass to take things to the cleaners.

Suits rarely come in non-dry clean only versions. At least the nice ones don't. Luckily, you don't need to dry clean suits all that often.
