I'd like to have my dress dry cleaned. There are 2 dry cleaners near me. One quoted me £80 to dry clean it (which to be honest I can't afford) and there's a new tailors opened up, looks to be a family run business and it says in the window "Dry Cleaning £15 per item."

I havent called in to ask but do you think I'd be risking it to have it done there instead?

I think a phone call to them would be a good start.

When they say £15 per item they could be meaning just run of the mill dry cleaning items, jackets duvets etc. They might not work with wedding dresses (some companies prefer not to) and as they've only just opened there's no-one you could turn to for a review so that always holds an element of risk.

Double check their £15 policy then the rest is up to whether you feel comfortable or not

I must admit, I'd be a bit nervous if they were only charging fifteen quid....but then, I know nix about dry cleaning.

when i got married first time round i borrowed a dress and put it in the dry cleaning machine in the laundry but it was just plain no pearls or diamonties like they have on them now , you can only ask and see what they say x

I enquired about having my dress cleaned and was told it would be approx £80 which in view of how much it is worth (rrp £1500) i didn't think was too bad. I am pretty sure the £15 per item is for standard items but even so i don't think i would trust anyone who charged me £15 to clean my dress,its not worth the risk! I am leaving deciding what to do with regards to cleaning/storing my dress until after Christmas (its not like its going anywhere lol) Its a bit grubby underneath and got no spills or stains so its not going to come to any harm by waiting. I know the run up to Christmas is an expensive time,why not wait until the new year too? xxx
