Dress cover with wedding insurance

Charliezoo

Does anyone know if any insurance companies will cover my dress while its with the dressmaker for alterations or being cleaned prior to the wedding?

I'm about to hand over my beloved dress to a dressmaker for at least a month and just had a thought about what would happen if God forbid her house burned down or she lost it or something.:o

Do you not have wedding insurance?

If you have, check your policy and see if it will cover you ~ if you don't have wedding insurance, get some ASAP! x

Check the various policies - eccleisiastical are best.

Your dressmaker should also have insurance.

I haven't taken out any insurance yet and haven't handed the dress over yet either. Just doing a bit of shopping around tonight and noticed that mny companies only cover loss or damage of the dress if yourself or a member of the bridal party are in possession of the dress at the time - so a dressmaker would not be covered.

Still got alot of companies to trawl through yet so will hopefully find one with the right cover!

just thinking........... Can you ask if your dressmaker is insured? most businesses are these days surely?

This situation should come under a dressmaker's public liability insurance - which she should have.
