    Out of curiousity... how long did it take you to get your dress cleaned?

    It took me 6/7 months! (But kinda for good reason... we did a post wedding shoot 6 months after the wedding!)

    I dropped mine off on the way to our honeymoon! I think it will actually be ready tomorrow. I can't believe how expensive it is... I am not even having it preserved and I think it is around $200!!

    Oh man, mine is still hanging dirty at my parents house with a torn bustle. I need to do my research and finally get it sent off 9 months after the wedding.

    My one year anniversary is in less than a month and mine is still filthy.  Now I'm too embarrassed to take it in!

    Mine is still shoved in the dress bag one month and counting.  I rolled it up in a ball so it would better fit in my storage closet.  How long did it take you to get your dress cleaned? :  wedding Icon Redface

    It's been about 6 weeks since our wedding and mine is still hanging on the back of the closet door.  Oops...you gals are reminding me, I should send mine out to get it cleaned!

    @Taffy--where did you take your dress?  Part of why I haven't taken mine in yet is that I don't know for sure where I want to send it.

    I'm guilty of letting it hang uncleaned. I need to get on that...it's been over a year and a half. Oops!

    My wedding was two months ago, and not only is my dress still unclean, it's folded in half (in the bag, though!) in the trunk of my mom's car. So, I need to get moving.

    Jessie, I took it to Iris Cleaner's on Ann Arbor-Saline Rd, by the Espresso Royale and Blockbuster.
