 I have been told it cost £150 by a friend, any more ideas on what it costs? Because I think this is an awful lot.

Thanks

 I got a quote of £90+ from Johnsons and I asked them how much it would be for mine she asked me the price of the dress, as it was £165 she said they would do it for the £90, but I think it does depend on the material and layers on the dress, my friend got a quote of £160 which is pretty much the value of my dress.

 Ask the store where you're buying your dress from as well. There's one in Birkdale, Southport who have washing machines to thoroughly clean them (if the right material) and they charge £40!

 My mum is having mine cleaned before the wedding because of where I got it from. She's taking it to a local shop and they've said £50+ depending on fabric and detail on the dress.

 as the others have said it varies on the price of the dress and the matrial mine was 60. it also depends on if you want it to be boxed after
