This is atrocious.  I can't imagine someone actually altering (so it can't
be returned to its original state) a piece of garb!  I did have a piece
ruined...loaned a sideless surcoat with a lovely silk brocade skirt...got it
back with some kind of stain all over the skirt.  If it had been cleaned
immediately, it probably would have come out.  As it was, since the person
took 6 months to return it, I can't get it out!!
