How to clean your own wedding dress

Hi there, I used to work in a wedding dress shop and to clean small marks off satin wedding shoes we advised to get a cotton wool ball (like the type you remove make-up from) and run it under warm water. Wring it out so it's not too wet and rub gently over the marks. This should work for small marks on a wedding gown too. If this dress is precious to you and you are going to hand it down through your family or even just keep it, I would advise to get it professionally dry cleaned as the material will rot. It may seem expensive but it is worth it. Hope this helps. x
