The other direction this took reminds me of how I ruined a "dry clean only" jacket that was one of my favorites by following label directions. The fabric was fine - it was the lining material that shouldn't have been dry cleaned. It 'melted' and adhered to the fabric as it shrunk, creating a puckered and wrinkled affect that ruined the jacket. And aren't dry cleaners supposed to read labels. I know people aren't infallible, but the label on a skirt said clearly - dry clean only DO NOT PRESS - it came back fine many times, but the last time it got pressed, and a lovely skirt got turned into a limp and unattractive rag. It was just one incident however, and they are the best cleaners around. If you are in the US, and your cleaner is a member of the Fabricare Institute, you can have them mediate if they indeed failed to follow the label directions. If the manufacturer mis-labeled the garment, your beef is with them.
