Washed it in cold water and the color ran anyway. Disappointing. I have ruined at least 4 pieces of Spell clothing washing them according to their instructions. Otherwise, no rips or stains. The quality is not too great of this old piece. One of the last pictures shows a thread bunch just sticking out of the seam. Looks like a manufacturing flaw. If you know how to clear these color runs, this one is for you. They are not so much on the bodice but on the top.
