INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF YOUR DRESS

PERHAPS YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME MONEY BACK ON YOUR WEDDING DRESS BY SELLING IT ON, OR YOU’VE BOUGHT A VINTAGE OR SECOND-HAND DRESS AND YOU WANT IT TO LOOK ITS ABSOLUTE BEST – EITHER WAY, WHAT YOU NEED IS A DEDICATED WEDDING DRESS CLEANING SERVICE, LIKE THE ONE OFFERED BY BRIDES BY SOLO IN NEWMARKET. OWNER ODETTE LISTER TELLS US MORE

SPECIALISED SERVICE Lots of brides take their dresses to a dry cleaner, where it gets put into a machine. This is not what we do; we don’t use third parties or machines to clean our dresses, and have found the perfect range of cleaning products to deal with any kind of stain over the 37 years we have been cleaning wedding dresses. There’s nothing we can’t get out – even mud or red wine! And we know how to manage delicate vintage fabrics, or those with beads, embroidery and jewels. ANY DRESS We don’t just clean dresses that have been bought from our store – we’ll clean any dress. This means the service is perfect for brides who

have bought a second-hand or vintage dress and want it freshened up, or brides who’ve bought a dress elsewhere that they want to sell on. UNIQUE SERVICE We’re the only bridal shop in the area to offer wedding dress cleaning, and are perfectly placed between Cambridge and Newmarket, with plenty of parking, so brides can just drop in their dresses and pick them up with no hassle at all. LABOUR OF LOVE It might sound odd, but we are genuinely passionate about cleaning dresses! It’s an amazing feeling to see the transformation after we’ve worked our magic – and brides are always so

astonished and delighted when they see what we’ve achieved.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT We charge a flat fee of £150 per dress, whatever the condition. Even if we have to work on it for days, or it’s a very delicate and complex job, you won’t be charged any more and it won’t add a huge cost to what you’ve spent on your dress. PERFECTLY PRESERVED We sell special acid-free boxes to store your dress. If you just stick it in the wardrobe, it will yellow over time, but these boxes keep your special dress in perfect condition for years to come. bridesbysolo.co.uk
