The
Drycleaning & Laundry Institute issued a warning for this defective Rebecca
Taylor dress.
This
dress has a pink silk blouse, with a pink/multi-colored skirt made from
chenille yarns. (ZIPS Tip: Chenille yarns are very similar to the pipe cleaners or fuzzy yarns used for arts and craft projects. When used in fabric, the material must be loosely woven or knit to retain the desired fuzzy textured appearance.)The care label recommends dry cleaning.
When
this dress is dry cleaned, the loosely woven chenille yarns can be easily
snagged. Once snagged, the yarns dangle from the fabric, creating overall distortion
to the skirt and an objectionable appearance. Additionally, snagging of this type
can originate from conditions of use and be further aggravated during cleaning.
Since
1972 the Federal government has required all manufacturers to provide at least
one safe cleaning method. Since this dress with the chenille woven skirt was unable
to withstand the manufacturers’ recommended cleaning method the garment is
defective and should be returned to the store or manufacturer.

DLI also pointed out that Rebecca Taylor is not knowingly or continually producing defective goods. While this dress is defective, that does not mean any other garments from Rebecca Taylor are defective.
