Just received an online order for a beautiful dark navy dress. Beautiful dress, seriously stinks in the literal sense. It was wrapped well, and the other items in the order don't smell. So I'm pretty sure it's that intense dark dye smell people have recently mentioned on another thread. (Greyscale's one about whether/when to stop jean shopping for perfect fit)

I like this dress enough that I will contact the vendor (Zapppos). But I'm wondering if anyone has been successful in washing out such odors. If I were to take the gamble and keep it, I think I'd soak in diluted vinegar overnight and then rinse it out, but unsure if that will be sufficient to remove odor. Dress is 100% viscose. Any experience?
