Has anyone got the Hush Henley dress and washed it rather than dry cleaning?

I want to take a chance and put it in the machine as I'm wearing it loads so dry cleaning will cost a fortune. Has anyone done this or is it going to shrink? Half price in the sale not seeming such a bargain now!

I am not sure what the dress is but I never dry clean, I wash flat in the bath/sink in lukewarm water and a teaspoon at most of detergent, rinse, pop into a pillow case and spin in the machine dry flat on the clothes. Only one disaster so far

I have 2 from last year and always machine was them at 30 on a delicate or wool cycle.Does it actually say dry clean on the label?To be honest i wash all cashmere/alpaca [even expensive]stuff in the machine,with woolite.

I have 2 and have always washed them on cold wool cycles in the machine - hadn't realised they were dry clean only Blush, anyway, they are fine.

Actually I just checked and mine say hand wash cold, not dry clean. Both 80% cotton, 10% silk, 10% cashmere.

The website says to machine wash on wool cycle...

Brilliant, thanks all - think I can stump up the cost of a bottle of Woolite if I'm not going to have a massive dry cleaning bill :)
