Grey stains on black dress after washing - help

I have a black cotton/ nylon Jasper Conran dress which I washed following a funeral. It’s come out with grey stains - almost like watermarks. Dress was washed in hard water area with persil non bio/ no fabric conditioner and dried flat on an airer. Is it salvegable? Should I take it to the dry cleaners and see if they can do anything/ dye it? It’s a lovely dress - nothing else has come out like it. Photo of the label and how it’s come out ( photo looks a lot worse than real life)

It looks like undisolved washing powder, if it were me I'd be washing it and just adding some white vinegar to the wash. BUT do your own research to check.
