Send it to the dry cleaner. Tell them why you want them to Dry Clean it. They may make you sign a waiver. When you get the fabric back make sure you wash it to remove the chemicals from the cleaning.

The fabric is gorgeous! Are you really sure you want to dull it? It must have called to you, even though it is shiny. When it is made up it won't be as 'in your face' glittery.

You could always email Hoffman and ask them.

I had a blouse one time that had a gold print on it. I dry cleaned it and it took most of the gold out but it didn't take it all out so it ruined it. I think trying to get all of it out might damage it but you might be able to dull it. I would try a little dish soap (something like Dawn)on a small piece and see what that does.

You could try using a bit of nail polish to remove or dull the gold. It shouldn't remmove the color of the fabric. Try and it on a patch of the fabric.
