I've had my wedding dress for a while now, and without too much care have been storing it away so it didn't get damaged (or chocolated by my Children!). Unfortunately it now appears rather creased in places and despite hanging it up for a couple of weeks it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Can anyone offer me advice on how best to keep my dress crease free?

Should I take it to the dry-cleaners and have it pressed or steamed? Can I steam it myself -- I don't want to get it too wet and risk it growing mould or anything.... I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Hope someone can give me some ideas.

That's what I would do too. Speak to the dry cleaner's and ask them how long it will take, and arrange so it's back a couple of days before the big day so it doesn't get creased again xx

I would hang it up in the bathroom with a hot bath or a hot shower running before going to a dry cleaners can charge a lot cos its a wedding dress xx

Sorry to hijack this thread but I bought my dress 2nd hand and my wedding isn't 'till Sep 2012.
If I'm getting my dress altered will they de-crease it? Oh when should I get alterations done? I feel right now is too soon esp if I lost weight or whatever x

mrs bentley- personally i wouldnt risk it, i dont have the best luck and mine would probably fall in the bath or something lol.

Leanne- I wouldnt have any alterations until 6 months before your wedding and then have regular fittings if your weight fluctuates. x
