My best friend and I made a bet over football.. Whoever won, would get to throw pie and like cake batter and other messy things at the loser, and totally mess them up. The agreement was, the loser has to wear their best clothes, which we both picked out at the beginning. This sounded great.... Except I lost, lol. The dress I chose as my best is really gorgeous and elegant, and I have to wear that along with matching heels and accessories. Should I back out? I don't want to look like a wuss but I don't want my nice dress to be ruined.

She wants you to keep that dress for family functions and will outright kill you if you mess it up or have it destroyed. Seeing as you can't dry clean it or not without a lot of trouble and $ don't do that.
Offer them a choice of a few other outfits that aren't of importance to you anymore that may be semi-formal that you can do without wearing again.

go through with it because if you dont, your friend wont really trust you with any other bets.
take the dress to the cleaners and have them fix it for you. its just a dress. i bet you could go to the store and find another dress 100 times better than that one.
