Hi Dallas-Fort Worth brides and grooms. Chat here about the best tips, Knottie GTGs, and wedding planning in your area.

Who did you use? About how much did it cost? I have Becky scheduled to do my alterations but need to get my dress cleaned and steamed. Any suggestions?

Becky will steam your dress before you're wedding if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise, I would highly suggest William (Bill Braun) with Pinstripes Cleaners. I had mine cleaned after the wedding, but mine was pretty expensive because someone spilt TONS of red wine over my dress, and it's silk and ruffles.

Becky is actually the one who referred me to Bill, and he will personally come pick up and drop off your dress. And he actually specializes in wedding gowns, which made me feel so much better about handing over my dress to him.

You can reach him at 214-564-3631.

I say that, check with her to make sure! That might depend on her schedule and/or how busy she is.

My dress got pretty dirty at the bottom from my bridals, but I didn't mess with having it cleaned prior to my wedding.

Becky might also recommend something for getting the spots out by hand or maybe a dry cleaner can just spot clean it without a full cleaning. Might save you some money.

Becky did tell me that sometimes having it dry cleaned can shrink the dress and affect the beading, so she prefers you have it done before she does alterations, so she can fix anything and size it to you properly.

My boss's friend owns the Laundress, but I couldn't find anything for delicate spot removal. If you click on the JCrew link though they have a wedding day emergency kit. http://www.thelaundress.com/
