The following is not legal advice and is not intended to be used as legal advice.

E and H and possibly G. Party C can, however, be liable in a different scenario when they know that the party they are fixing it for has represented the fixed items as something they are not. I would think Party C may even be liable if they have been given that information by a reliable second-hand source. Then, Party C is knowingly becoming a participant and gaining from a fraud. When (1) the dress has collector value even if not Princess Di's, (2) has had the value increased by the repair, (3) the value would not be increased if it was known that a repair has occurred, and Party C knows all of the above, then Party C will have a tough time arguing in a court of law that they were not a participant in a fraudulent scheme.
