Sewing question

[figmo]

I have a brocade made of acetate with laundering instructions to "hand wash in cold water and line dry."

Can I get away with not prewashing this fabric before using it? I ask because Warren has been buffing the dryer since 7:00 last night and is still at it.

Sounds like it's a dry-clean only thing. I can deal with that, as a) I have a "regular" dry cleaner here (the woman who runs it knows my name!) and b) I don't wear dresses very often anyway.

If I get it done tonight I'll post pictures.
