Please see pictures! This dress is damaged by the lace bleeding onto the bodice and hem of the dress. I saw that other people had success washing this dress so I hand washed it in a tub with mild detergent and afterwards noticed small black stains all over it. I washed it again and managed to get most of it out but the lace on the bodice had bled onto the dress everywhere it was sewn into the seam. I tried getting it out using a color sheet and it ended up just pulling the color from the lace but the bodice was still stained. The skirt fabric is mostly fine but the hem has some light grey bleed from the lace. The most noticeable damage is the faded lace and grey staining on the bodice. This dress comes with the waist ties that are not damaged as well as the velvet lacing (not pictured on dress).

I reduced the price heavily from what I normally see the dress go for but I'm open to offers.
