Secret Aladdin’s Cave of Wedding Dresses

The recession has made us all that little bit more resourceful, especially when it comes to finding the best value wedding dress.  There are thousands of articles available on the Internet, in magazines and specialist websites designed to aid in this pursuit.  We’ve all read about the 5p wedding dress on eBay, designer warehouse sales, charity shops and high street shops that offer affordable wedding dresses.  But have you heard of the untapped Aladdin’s cave of wedding dresses in dry cleaners?

Think about it, a bride has had the most amazing day of her life, she is back from honeymoon and carefully chooses a reputable dry cleaners to take care of her special dress.  Once the dress is there, the bills for the wedding start to come through, the credit card bills from honeymoon arrive on the doorstep and she can’t choose which photographs to have so she has them all.  Something has to give – the answer she doesn’t go back to collect the dress and pay the large dry cleaning bill.

Dry cleaners have in their code of conduct, do keep any unclaimed items for a designated period after they should have been collected, but after that?  From this point onwards a dry cleaner is just looking to cover the original cost of cleaning the dress so they are not out of pocket.

“It amazes me how many brides, simply do not come back to collect their dresses” Says Nick from Mr P’s Dry Cleaners, Bristol.  “It has always been the case that some brides, simply did not return, but since the recession we have been seeing this more and more.  We pride ourselves on our excellent cleaning and restoration service which includes fixing the dress for any beading or embroidery damage that happened during the happy day.  The unclaimed dresses take up too much storage room.”
