Long story short, my Vera Wang wedding dress (came from Macy's Sample Sale) went to the dry cleaner and came back with a streaky gray stain across the bodice. Eek! I can't wear it and don't know if sending it to a different dry cleaner can even help this issue, and I'd rather not throw more money into a damaged dress if I can prevent it.

At any rate... I'm thinking I'll get this dress... http://priscillaofboston.com/dress_detail.jsp?gid=24&sfid=228&f or something like it, but can't seem to figure out what to get for a coverup (since my alencon lace bolero wouldn't look very nice with this style).

 Does anyone have a good suggestion?! I mean, I could have the satin from my destroyed Vera made into a coverup, I suppose, but I need ideas on what would work with a lace dress!

Thanks!

I guess my situation is a little odd... I'd taken the dress to a seamstress to get some alterations done. She called and suggested we send it to the dry cleaner before she continue, since it was a sample dress (and there was some dirt along the hem), I figured it was fine to send it in.

Well, the seamstress called me after the dress came back and I went to visit it... there are gray streaks on the bodice, and a few marks on the skirt.

The dry cleaner said that the marks were already present, and that is why they cleaned it twice (and charged me for 2 cleanings). The seamstress has worked with my family for about 20 years, and I don't imagine she'd damage my dress and not tell me.

So, neither is willing to compensate me for the damage to the dress. Perhaps sending the before-after photos would help...

I actually feel I should repost this question pertaining to the dress :) with a separate post for the coverup.
