def call around... im sure you can find better pricing... my dress was all beaded... im sure something like satin would be easier possibly cheaper to clean (assuming that was your dress)

i sold my dress right after the wedding-- so it was on the girl to get it cleaned, so if you plan on selling it dont think you have to get it cleaned for them! :) (fyi i sold my dress for a good price too)

doesnt answer your ? but may help others

ready for this one....the place my gown store recommended wanted $1000+ to clean mine, needless to say, my gown is in my closet the way I took it off on my wedding day!

I used the place that made my dress.....they charged $150 to clean & preserve it.

Pics are in my album.

I dropped it off to them and then they shipped it to me.

i sold mine about 6 months after the wedding... and def didnt want to leave dirt sititng on it for too long bc i heard its harder to get clean the longer it sits... so my girl actually did get a cleaned dress from me... and for the price she paid, i think she deserved to lol

Mine was about $300, but that included preserving AND a discount. But I also had a lot of very intricate beadwork and delicate lace and that ups the price a bit.

I paid 150 but they gave me a special rate at my cleaners because DH and I spend a FREAKIN FORTUNE in cleaning there. I am pretty sure we're their best customer!

My dress has no beading except the sash.

Anyway, you can try them, its Jim Jam in Merrick.
