WHAT DO YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S VINTAGE THAT'S ACTUALLY MADE FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NOT A SIZE 2! MY BROTHER TOOK ONE LOOK AT ME WEARING IT & SAID IT WAS THE MOST UGLY JACKET HE EVER SAW, THAT IT LOOKS LIKE ROAD KILL! DO YOU GUYS THINK IT'S SAFE TO TAKE TO DRY CLEANERS WITHOUT THEM RUINING IT, OR IS THERE SOME WAY I COULD COMB IT OUT MYSELF? APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS, THANKS!

Don't feel bad about the snarky comments, I get them all the time! If you like the way it looks on, then wear it........... As far as cleaning I would take it to a cleaner and talk to them about it. I have destroyed so many great pieces trying to save a few bucks or thinking I could handle it.
Agree with vintagemad about comments. Although I would hand wash it as label states can be done. Label says 100% acrylic. You could wash it in the tub - shake-shake-shake and then air dry. Just use something gentle like dish washing liquid or shampoo. I think it's cute. DD@Phila
Thanks Vintage & Fine. I'm definately going to wear it. I think it's great & think it's best I have it professionally cleaned.
