And not just any dry cleaner. See if there is a "boutique" cleaner in your 
area--one who will treat it carefully and not just throw it into a machine.

Subject: [h-cost] question about "antique" academic regalia


I was just given a (for me) priceless gift -- a silk academic (doctoral) 
own that's about 50 years old.  I'm fairly certain that it needs to be 
ry-cleaned.  Any comments/suggestions/caveats/etc?
Thanks!
Susan
