My first experience with dry cleaning happened when I was 17, right after my senior Prom. In my home town it is typical that after the dance, all the teen-agers go to a restaurant that is open all night for a night cap; shakes, smoothies, ice cream etc.

My date and our friends were no different. It was almost three in the morning when tiredly, my date helped me to slide out of our large round booth. As he helped me, he happened to bump the pitcher of strawberry lemonade and since I was still sitting the ENTIRE container went down the front of my dress.

All people know that there is NOTHING worse than ruining your formal wear
