The sequestrators are only supposed to take assets of the company that went bankrupt, i.e. the items that belonged to the company. Any items in the shop that were there to be dry cleaned weren't assets of the company as they belonged to the people who had taken them there to be dry cleaned.
But I suppose they would have taken everything and then decided which items belonged to the business and which didn't. Leaving the wedding dress behind must mean that someone thought it was rubbish. Wonder if they'd have done the same if it was a Ming vase. Wonder how many items of value (not only monetary value) have been lost permanently in circumstances like this. The owner is obviously being very wise now in intending to take it to a cleaner who specialises in lace items. Jean Nathan in Poole, Dorset, UK Subject: Re: [lace] 150-year old wedding dress The thing about this story is that the dress was made by a few times gt grandmother for her wedding. It's been worn by many brides since then and was given to the bride by her grandmother for the big day. The dry cleaners had a 'By Royal Appointment', and so were deemed to be a good dry cleaners. However they went bankrupt and all 'assets' were seized... including all the clothing in the place! When they found out they tried to get the dress back only to be told it couldn't be found! Other brides were/are in similar situations. This is why they appealed to social media. Let's hope they are reunited with the dress soon. It was taken away by the sequestrators, and it's hoped it will be reunited with its owners permanently next week.
