Will My Gown Be Okay If I Have It Cleaned Before the Wedding?

If you bought a sample from the bridal shop or you bought your gown on E-Bay or from a consignment shop, chances are that your gown looks a little shopworn, but strangely enough people will tell you NOT to have your gown cleaned! I see this all the time on wedding websites: "Don't have your gown cleaned before the wedding because the cleaner will ruin it."

And I just wish I could post, too, because I would write that if you pick the right cleaner your gown will look better than ever after it is cleaned. There is a list of questions to ask the cleaner at http://www.weddinggownspecialists.com/bridalgowncaretips.htm, but the main thing is to ask the cleaner if they do the work themselves and how many gowns they clean. Someone who cleans gowns all the time will recognize the name of your gown's manufacturer as well as the fabric in your gown and will know exactly what solvents can safely be used.

If you want help finding the right person, you can call me at 800-501-5005
