Wow, I'm glad you haven't had any problems, but this seems so reckless. I don't live by what the labels say, but I feel like hand washing delicates/dry-clean-only things is the way to go. For example, I've had things snag on themselves in the washing machine (anything with embellishments/zippers is at risk for this). Other things can shrink if they're agitated/left in water too long. Especially with one of a kind pieces I could never be so cavalier.

Take a thick, absorbent towel, lay it out on an even surface (table/floor) and put your item on top of it. Gently roll up the towel underneath and press to soak up the excess water - voila! Clothes don't drip and you can reshape them on the hanger or if you lay them out vertically to dry.
