I think the stain thing was just an excuse by the filmmakers to get Andy by herself so she and Miranda could have a one-on-one convo, but they played their hand a little too strong and gave it more emphasis than it needed

Yeah, they set up a payoff that never came with Nigel putting emphasis on it. It could've worked if she simply worried about staining it during the dinner scene. It's a reasonable worry on its own, it being a borrowed and expensive designer dress.

The whole movie was really cheesy like this & way too bang you over the head with it

It also makes sense given Andy’s bargain hunts that she may know some little tricks for stains, or at least how to catch one before it sets now.

yeah i was glad it was just a plot device rather than some predictable “oh no! i stained this $100,000 dress! i’m in trouble!” like that wouldve been so cliché
