I'm an out of town bride (at least, my dress and I live in Virginia, but I used to live in Florida), and I need to find a place to steam my dress. The bridal salon here would have done it, but since we have to travel, I said no... I was thinking of calling Alfred Angelo in Tampa to see if they could recommend a place. I don't think I feel I comfortable taking my dress to any 'ol alterations place.

Has anyone had any experience with dress steaming in Tampa?

Thanks!!

I don't know if you still need it, but Emelina's bridal does it. What I did is I got a steamer from Bed bath and beyond (around $50) and my mom steamed it carefully for me... turned out perfect even my veil and 7 other bridesmaid dresses! good luck!

Thanks! I actually used Alterations by Roya. She was great! My dress was some sort of silk that couldn't be steamed; she did some sort of pressing, I believe. haha I left it to the professional, so I really don't even know what she did! At the time, I was far to concerned with other things to care, and she did a fantastic job.
