Hi everyone, I just got married Feb 25, 2005 and I am finally getting around to having my wedding gown cleaned. I bought my dress from Kleinfeld's and they only recommend taking it to Madame Paulette's. They quoted me $425 to be cleaned and additional fee if I need anything repaired..tears, lost beads etc....they put the dress in a museum quality achival box. Is this too much to spend on dress cleaning? I spent $5000 on the dress and I want to make sure it is preserved the best it can be. Can you recommend other cleaners on Long Island?? Thank you sooo much! Jamie

Re: DRESS CLEANING AND PRESERVATION
I would say to bring it to the place that they recommended. I was just talking about this with someone that got married 7 years ago & she paid $500 to have her preserved. I think that is a good deal especially that you want to make sure that it preserved.

Re: DRESS CLEANING AND PRESERVATION
If you really want it to be preserved, I'd say go for it! I've heard of Madame Paulette and they do have a good reputation.
Here's a list of some other ones in the City if you are interested in comparing prices:
