*Married Ladies* - Gown Cleaning/Preservation??

girlinchicago

Where are/did you all get your dress clean and preserved and, if you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay?

I have some major grease marks from the train tracks where we took pictures AND, somewhere in the course of the evening, someone spilled something purple down the back of my dress.

I've read some mixed reviews of WedClean.com and I'd like to use them for their price ($130,) but I'd hate to spend the money if they're not going to be able to get the stains out.  At the same time, I'm not one of those super sentimental about my dress people.  I can't justify spending $200+ to have it sit in a box. 

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Start calling dry cleaners or look it up on Yelp for the best ones.  Some give deals.

I was married in April and it is still hanging in my closet, dirty and probably smelly.

I used Sunmade Cleaning in Palatine, paid $50 and thought they did a great job! they were recommended by my seamstress.

$50!?  That's awesome!  That's pretty close to me - I will definitely check them out!  That's their standard price or did you have to tell them someone specific referred you?
