Hi Everyone,

I need help! Please can anyone tell me where I can get a really nice box for my dress to go in, so that I can store it. I haven't a clue what to do with it now, as I haven't even taken it to the cleaners yet!!

Scabby I know!!

Thanks.

Xx

My dry cleaners sell them, and they clean your dress than wrap it in acid free tissue for you and pack it in a box. The boxes look lovely, has flowers on it and is tied with a pink ribbon. Might be worth asking at your dry cleaners..

Hello,

I put my dress into the dry cleaners and they offered to box it for me.

It was quite expensive £65 but at least they do it properly, plus before they do box it, I have to go in and check it all.

It takes about 2 weeks in total

Which one did you use Nessa?

I still haven't had mine done *slap wrists* professionally, although I have hand cleaned the bodice!

The cheapest quote I got was £55 for the cleaning, and the same again to box it

Hi Lo,

It's Classic Cleaners in Farnborough, the one just before PrincesMead.

I was very impressed with them I have to say!

Went in today to check, and they'll have it all ready by Next Thursday all boxed!

The cleaning was good as well, and they took the dress out, and we went through it all

HTH

Hi really sorry but the same as everyone else, our drycleaners sell them. Or have you thought of looking on ebay. Goodluck Suzy xx
