I would try using the dryel system on the dress. It offers spot cleaning and really freshens clothing nicely.

Use those Shout Color Catcher sheets. You will find them in the laundry department. I have found they work really good, and I use them anytime I launder something that might bleed onto other items and even if I have some times put what I call a medium colored item in with a darker or lighter load.
