Oh my goodness I know I know. Please somebody just direct me as to the best method. I know I must do it immediately. And please don't reprimand me. I feel super guilty. It's so so beautiful....

Jennny, don't feel bad, mine is on my floor in our bedroom in the bag. Oh well
I hear people talk highly of wedclean, I think Stef used them, she can provide you with the info.

I'm even worse. I'll be married 2 years in November and it is still hanging in my mother's basement.

Re: I have a major confession.
Here's a laugh for you... I took my dress to be preserved right after I got married, but I left it at the cleaners for 18 months after it was ready!

Re: I have a major confession.
I haven't either yet.
And Jenny, I've heard you had a beautiful dress and wedding, but we would't know because we haven't seen peekshures. *Taps foot impatiently*.

Re: I have a major confession.
I used wedclean.com and was happy with their service. Check out their website if you are interested.

Re: I have a major confession.
I used wedclean and was pretty happy. It was a little scary sending my dress out and they were a bit late in getting back to me but all in all, very worht the cost. All of the alternatives wanted 2x-3x that.
My only suggestion is to get the extra insurance. That way if you dress is lost, at least you have a few thousand to console yourself with. (not that your dress will get lost, im just a pessimist!)

Re: I have a major confession.
I used wedclean too. I had it sent to my parents, so I am not sure about it being late. I gave it a quick once over when it came back and it looked great, like they had gotten all of the stains out, etc. But I wasn't super anal about going over it with a fine tooth comb. The beading seemed totally intact. Overall, I was happy with them.

Shame. On. You. I've got an even better confession (or worse )
I JUST finished my album last Wednesday. Can you say procrastinator? Yes, I was married TWO years last Tuesday and finished my album on Wednesday!! We hope to have it before baby #2 arrives!!!!

Re: I have a major confession.
I didnt preserve mine either- honestly I hope I dont get reemed out for saying this but you do not need to preserve it. My mother never did she just put it in a box with tissue paper around it and it stayed PERFECT ( for 29 years). I have heard from many people that the chemicals that they use to clean it - can cause it to turn yellow- things may have changed i dont know, but thats what i have heard. Im not planning on preserving it I just have it in the bag it came in at this point and will hopefully box it eventually

Re: I have a major confession.
Mine is still in the bag in my room I'm too attached to it to give it away for cleaning. One of these days I will.........
To top it off, as part of my wedding present, someone is doing it FREE for me. The platinum box is all ready for me. But I have to bring it in first...... Periodically he reminds me I still haven't given it up yet

Re: I have a major confession.
Mine is in my hope chest, and not perserved either Jenny. I plan on doing it very soon though. I am not really sure why I put it off. I guess other things came up. I plan on using wed clean though.
