The damage is less extensive than in the film and it can be repaired, but Ada comes to the realization that her experiences in Paris are more important than the dress.

By the end of the film, she's inspired by Ada to strike out on her own path.

She will get a haute couture Dior dress, and she won't stand for the classism and prejudice of those getting in her way. She also organizes a strike for the Dior workers just because she can't stand to see their mistreatment.

Though when Ada comes to her apartment after Claudine quits, she realizes why Claudine feels the need to be tough — she has a husband suffering from debilitating disabilities from the war, and she's his full-time caregiver. Ada encourages her to return to Dior, which warms Claudine up to her.
