cheap wedding dress

You definitely should get your wedding gown cleaned. Wedding dress cleaning is a must, especially if you plan on selling your bridal gown.

Please don’t just hang it in the closet and forget about it. Get it cleaned right away, whether you plan to keep it a while or get rid of it.

It is best to take your dress to a dry cleaners that specializes in caring for bridal gowns. They do enough dresses to know exactly what can and cannot be done to it. Do this especially if your wedding gown has a lot of bead work.

Now, if you are daring you can clean your own bridal dress. Yes, that is right! If you have a dress that is 100% polyester inside and outside. You may be able to turn the gown inside out, throw it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, using a gentle detergent.

I have run across information on the web about this and I know that members of the professional sewing association I belong to do this as part of their business service for their brides. They say that this works with no problem. I spot clean gowns, but I have never tried washing one myself. Only do this if you feel that if it doesn’t come out like you expect, you will not feel it was a major loss.
