Hi. I have a figure skating dress that I've worn a couple of times. Each time I wear it, I end up getting terrible itching and redness on my skin (under the arms and front of my chest) that occurs right after I take the dress off. The itching lasts for a couple of weeks but it's miserable. I've thought about just buying another dress but this one is made of polyester and spandex so it doesn't seem likely that I would be allergic to that material b/c those are common fabrics. I'm wondering if it might just need to be cleaned since something on the dress is irritating my skin. Does anyone have a suggestion on some way that I can clean this dress? I've thought about hand washing it to see if maybe that would help plus I'd like to clean it b/c it's kinda gross not washing something you've worn twice, lol! But I'm afraid to put it in water b/c I don't know how it's going to look after that...will some of the stones fall off, will it get really wrinkled etc... I've also thought about dry cleaning it but some of the chemicals they use are so harsh...I'm a little hesitant to do that too. Any suggestions??? Thank You!
