If you're not sure whether it's silk then be very careful about steaming it - if any water droplets get onto it they could cause watermarks which basically will not come out. Could you not handwash it in the bath using a specialist detergent?:heart2::heart2::heart2:Engaged to my lovely man since 27th April 2010:heart2::heart2::heart2::happylove0

Use a tea towel or a sheet etc between material and iron. Do you have a steam generator iron ?0

LOL! Fair enough, I think I'd find that task a little daunting too

Hmm. I'd be careful about trying to clean such an intricate dress yourself, eeeek! You'd have to be very brave.
Where you do you live? My bridal shop has recommended a little independent place, where my dress will be going after the wedding - if you're in manchester that might work / be cheaper / negotiable? Can PM details.
Maybe others in other cities have had independent places recommended and could share?

Cheers Savvy Student Iam just off J24 of the M1
we have some independents near me but just worried about trusting them, the idea of a mainstream one is that they would prolly have more insurance if things went wrong.... *sigh* decisons decisions Married the love of my life on 28th April 2011 :T
