Regina returned the dress, which was torn at one of the seams, to the store.n
In the sentence given above should we replace which by that since the relative clausewhich was torn at one of the seams is an essential clause as stated in the modifier section of Manhattan GMAT book. According to the rule if we have a choice between that and which
That goes with the essential clause and which goes with the non-essential one.
The Manhattan has used the word which in the answer.

Here which is used because 'which was torn at one of the seams' is a non-essential modifier. If we remove this part, the sentence still makes sense, hence it is correct.
Sentence would make sense but we would not be able to tell which dress the writer is talking about. In non-essential clause the object which is important is either named or referred to by using a pronoun like This or that. Reference Manhattan GMAT
Regina returned the dress that was torn at one of the seams to the store. In the above sentence, that was torn at one of the seams is an essential clause.
Case 2: Regina has one dress.
Regina returned the dress, which was torn at the seams, to the store. Here, which was torn at the seams is an non-essential clause because we know which dress she returned. This sentence makes sense without which clause.

It depends on the context of the sentence. If the sentence demands an essential clause, then use "that". And if the sentence demands non-essential clause, use "which".
Essential clause we use that Non-essential clause- which
Also if there are multiple things to talk about and one need to point specific one we use "that"
if we talk about anything general then we use "which"
