I took this pic of my daughter, and didn't realize her dress was blown at the time. I did not take it in RAW. Is this shot saveable??? I know nothing about PP!

Unfortunately I would say not, there looks to be no detail there at all. But just in case I'm wrong darken the image with curves in PS and see what appears. If you don't know anything about curves then just play with the curve until the image darkens and see what happens.
Not much help I'm afraid, but I tried :)

It's gone sorry, plus the image is blurry or the DOF isn't wide enough. Take it again :)

switch it to black n white. It can and will still make a beautiful photo, but as for the coloring when trying to be correcting its pretty much gone.

I gave it a try despite my thoughts. And then took my version and put it in BnW

I agree with the suggestion to convert to B&W. Also - I cropped in a little close to reduce the blown-out portion which was dominating the image. What was left of the shirt I burned in a tiny bit and added monochromatic noise (.15) to give it some definition.

Conversion was made using two Hue-Saturation layers and then I applied 3 darkening gradients from around the periphery to keep the face as the brightest part.

I then succumbed to the temptations of evil and painted in her (almost) original eye-color.

Baadil's edit gives me an idea. That image would make a nice photo painting, and in the painting process you could add color and texture to the blown out areas. That would be one cool way to save it.
