Dirty Wedding Dress - The PASH Wedding Forums and Message Boards

I took my BP yesterday and in the process got dirt on my dress. My mom and my photographer seem to think it isn't noticable...(maybe it's b/c they didn't pay the price I did for the dress, lol).

Any suggestions how to get a little dirt off of my dress without ruining it?

I wouldn't mess around. Take it to a good dry cleaner!

Take it to a GOOD dry cleaner (one that specializes in wedding dresses) to be cleaned and pressed before the wedding.

Won't that be expensive?

Also, my dress is still a little too big. I either need more alterations or a boob job between now and the wedding, LOL!

I agree with the other girls, take it to a good dry cleaners. They probably could just spot clean it rather than do a whole all over cleaning like they do after the wedding & before they box it up. Or you could ask your seamstress when you have the rest of the alterations done.

Good luck!

Well if the stain doesn't come out I could always resort to that hoochie looking outfit! FH would be thrilled!

Is that a wedding dress, or lingerie for the wedding night?!?

I wouldn't risk trying to get the stain out on your own. I would call the bridal salon where you got it and see what they can do.

Ditto. The bridal store should be able to help you, if you got it from one. And taking it in a bit should not be a big deal. You still have a month to go, right?

Can't wait to see the pics!
