WP related - wedding dress repair and cleaning

We use Terrington Burchett for cleaning our samples - they're recommended by some of the bigwig dress manufacturers (Benjamin Roberts use them for their own samples), and they do a grand job of getting dresses cleaned. They will arrange for your dress to be collected and returned to you. If your dress is silk, you should really go down the specialist cleaning route.

For repairs, I'd suggest you ask the person that did your alterations if they'd be able to help you out there. Take some advice from Terrington Burchett about whether they'd advise repairs before or after cleaning as well. They're very helpful.

I don't know how easy it would be to mend a tear in the organza (might be a specialist mending job) but the dressmaker might be able to advise of companies that do that if she can't help you herself.

Hiya ?

The shop I bought my dress from gave me recommendations of where I could get it cleaned. Failing that, any dress shop might be able to help.

(Not that I cleaned my dress - its folded up in the attic ?)

Just looked at Terrington Burchett and either they have copied the website from Perry de Montaignac or the other way round as its word for word the same...

I will contact my dress shop but really dont want to have to take it back there as its a long way away and was hoping for something more local, will contact them though regarding the repairs and see if they can reccommend anyone..

Thanks

I haven't cleaned my dress yet ? - 5 years on!

If I was keeping it I wouldnt bother myself but I need to sell it on (financial reasons only)

I used my tesco vouchers and got it cleaned at Johnsons, they send them away to their central specialist cleaners. I was really pleased and it was free!

Hi,

I have the Maggie sottero Martina dress which has swarovski crystals and beads sewn on. Have Terrington Burchett cleaned a similar dress for you? I'm concerned that the cleaning may damage the crystals.

Thanks, Helen

Hiya,

Just wanted to say to anyone still seeking advice, that I have just recently had my dress cleaned, repaired and boxed by Perry De Montaignac and I was absolutely delighted with the results.. Very easy to use, great customer service, sparkling clean dress and beautiful storage box....

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them...

J.

Really! How wonderful! Are you a registered HIB yet?

My preloved maggie has crystals and beads on and was cleaned at Johnsons. It is in perfect condition and not too expensive either.

I wasn't even dating my husband when this thread started.

ditto!

My husband and I had our first date 3 days before this thread started ?

Hey! For cleaning and repairs on delicate fabrics like silk, I’d definitely look for a specialist cleaner who has strong reviews before you send anything off — silk can be tricky. I haven’t heard much about Perry de Montaignac personally, so I’d read a few reviews or ask for a before/after example if possible.

For the bustle loop and tear, a good tailor or dress repair service should be able to help. Also sometimes dryer repair Stockton and garment repair pros know reliable local services for delicate work too, so it doesn’t hurt to ask around. Good luck!
