Has anyone had this done?  If so, who did you have do it?  Approx. what was the cost?  And, how long after your wedding did you have it done.

I got married in June of 2006 and I still have my dress hanging in the bag the way I put it in there my wedding night!  I am thinking that it is time to do something with it :-)

    I had Linda Lee clean and box mine up a few months after my wedding.  Not sure how much it was...$75 maybe???   It was way cheaper than anyone else, though.  Her number is 712-323-3163.

    Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm the marketing manager for Omaha Lace Cleaners and Fashion Cleaners in Omaha, NE.  

    To answer a few questions:  If your dress is yellowing...Omaha Lace and other Wedding Gown Specialist will be able to get it out. We can restore any gown from yellowing or browning. We are currently preserving a gown that is 70 years old!

     What causes yellowing are the stains that you can't see and having it packaged in an air tight container...vacuum sealing actually speeds up the processes of yellowing.  We use an anit-sugar stain removal for stains like champagne, soda that dry clear.

    The price is 250.00, and what this includes is:  A hand cleaning of your gown, pressing, and your gown will be layered with acid-free tissue and carefully folded into an acid-free museum quality, archival wedding chest.  You will be able to see your dress and you will be able to take the dress out (which we recommed)  Also you will have a lifetime guarantee.

    If you have any other questions please call us at 402-556-1522  or visit our website at omahalacecleaners.com

    thank you and have a wonderful day
