Wedding dress cleaning?

Hi ladies, I'm coming out of lurking because I have a couple of questions--

1. Can you recommend a place in BR for cleaning wedding gowns? I want to take it some place that is reputable.

My wedding was in October, and I've be procrastinating on taking it in for cleaning (mostly because I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it). 

2. What did you do with your wedding dress?

TIA

  • Roman"s on Gov't St in BR. They're known for wedding dress cleaning and did mine. They did really well.

  • Is it silk or acetate? If it's acetate it doesn't need to be preserved, if it's silk you need to go to a specialist. Check out wedclean.com they're not local but highly reccomended.

  • I trashed mine during a photo session, sprayed it with spray and wash, tossed it in the washer, and hung it outside to dry.  Came out cleaner than the day I wore it.

    No lie.

  • Another vote for Rome's 

    to piggyback on your post.. has anyone sold there wedding dress online? if so, what sites did you use?? I want to sell mine and I put it on craigslist but i think my asking price was to high..

    This is awesome. I actually thought about dying mine blue or something and wearing it for a Mardi Gras ball. I read somewhere that if it can be washed, it can be dyed.

    I didn't sell mine, but www.oncewed.com is a popular site.

    OP, I took mine to Kean's, but dying and wearing it to a ball or something is a fab idea.

    I actually bought my gown and veil at Bravo Bride. I highly recommend this site for selling used wedding items. I even resold my veil on the same site. I bought my gown from a girl who canceled her wedding, so it was never worn!
