    I was just looking for something else and saw this http://www.thebridalwearcompany.co.uk/store/productdetail-item-1835.htm On the BIG day, all wedding planners receive distress calls from brides concerning the state of their wedding dress, full of creases.
    How can we remove creases on such delicate fabric?
    The WEDDING ANGEL is the only answer - it steams away creases with ease.


    I am sure we can find it cheaper elsewhere but what a fab easy looking product.

    Sounds nuts but a wallpaper remover is just a big steamer so try that as a desperate measure?

    Got it sorted (hopefuly) now, YAY! Asked in one of our local charity shops and they were more than happy to let us use their steamer!!! I think it helps that we're very local to them so H2B and I are familiar faces in there. We were all set to go and beg in all five of the charity shops on our high street, but the first one we asked in said yes straight away. Haven't actually steamed it yet, but they said to bring it in tomorrow and they'd help me steam it. I'm gathering up a bunch of stuff to donate to them now. So relieved!!

    Thank you all for your lovely helpful suggestions, and justengaged, that wasn't a nuts idea at all--I was alll set to go hire a wallpaper steamer if I couldn't find a garment one lol! xx

    Thank you for suggesting the charity shop! I'll update again once we've actually steamed it. xx

    Just a quick update to say I took the dress to the charity shop today and steamed it. The creases fell right out and it looks so much better! Thank you all again for your help. xxx :)

    Great news Hannah - one less stress for you...!!

    Thanks for coming back to tell us that it worked too - it can be quite annoying sometimes when we offer advice and the brides
    never tell us if they've taken our advice or what they've done...>!!

    Looking forward to your photos!! x
