I was super excited to be able to purchase the dress of my dreams second hand. I couldn't afford it otherwise but a girl in my city was actually selling the dress I wanted in the color I wanted in my exact size. For a third of the price! Dream come true!
I had planned to get it cleaned and steamed before the wedding. She cleaned it prior to me purchasing the dress but it is still just a little dingy at the very bottom. Now here's the clincher - We lost our venue and have had to move it to our friends farm, which is actually what we wanted in the first place so it works out. But it is in the COUNTRY. We're talking a field in the middle of peach orchards. My dress is going to be drug across the ground and be totally dirty at the bottom by the time I even get down the aisle. So I'm thinking paying the $150 to have it cleaned first would probably be totally pointless? Even the pictures are going to be taken in a field and a barn. And that $150 will help a lot towards the cost of relocating the wedding. I want to make sure I don't regret it though! It's barely a little off at the bottom... but in certain lights you can see it.
