    Phone a dry cleaners and ask. It'll probably vary depending where in the country you are.

    I took a dress to Johnsons Dry Cleaners (used by the local wedding shops) and they charged me around £28 - although it is quite a simple dress with no sequins or beading.

  • I think there was a dry cleaners in Collier Row, Essex which advertised it for about £10 as it was near a dress shop. I would advise dry cleaning as opposed to washing. Let me know how much you get it for. :D
