Help! Sample Dress - Now what?

I bought a beautiful Vera Wang dress at the Running of the Brides back in February (score!), although I'm not getting married until November 2011.  The dress needs to be altered (it's a size 10; I probably need ito bring it down to a 4), and it could use a cleaning.  I know I don't need to do the alterations for awhile, but should I get the dress cleaned ASAP, or wait until alteration time?  Anyone else in the same boat?

    Congrats on finding a dress! I'd go ahead and get it cleaned--it'll be easier for any new stains (the dresses get a little manhandled at the Running, in my experience) to be removed sooner rather than later.

    Yes, get it cleaned now. The sooner the better. As far as the alterations go, you can wait until about 6 mos before your wedding or so to start those.

    Definately have it cleaned now a nd packaged.  Then wait to go to a seamstress 4-6 months before the wedding.
