I haven’t tried to clean it but I think there’s a good chance it will clean up. As wild as it sounds, you could hand clean this because there’s no lining.

Very simple, elegant design with fitted bodice, and flaring skirt, fitted sleeves with buttons at wrist and lace trim around neckline. Both pieces have metal side zippers.
