Answer:

No, because the limitation was not communicated to her.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is not true because the limitation was not communicated to her. Since she walked into a store and asked to have her dress cleaned, the individual at the front desk should have explicitly mentioned the pricing and policy to her so that she knew what she was accepting by leaving her dress at the store. Since they did not do this then they must pay her the $300 that the dress is worth.
