HELP!!! My chiffon bridesmaid dress is wrinkled and the cleaner can't help
I've had the dress hanging for a month- so I'm not really sure how it got wrinkled in the first place- but it did. I thought "No worries! I'll drop it at the cleaners to be pressed."
I'm supposed to pick it up today but they just called me to tell me that they can't get the creases out!!!!
Now what do I do??!
Anyone have any suggestions? The wedding is on Saturday.

do you have a steamer? I have the conair steamer- I think it's around $70
I use it for everything- even silk-
or what about taking it to a bridal store? they should have a steamer

Use a steamer, or bring it to the store where you got the dress, they should be able to steam it for you

She said they tried pressing it and steaming it.
I have a handheld steamer at home- I guess I'll try that later.

hang the dress up in the bathroom, turn the hot water on and let the room steam. leave the dress there for a while and see if it helps.

Ack...I tried everything. Apparently the bridal shop couldn't deal with the wrinkles either- several of the bridesdmaids are having the same problem.
Ugh- the dress was horrible to b egin with- now it's even worse. I feel bad for the bride
