I had heard that. Her parents went and did the verification of the dress. 
Hopefully it will arrive with them today.

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.

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.

Re: [lace] 150-year old wedding dress

2017-02-12 Thread Adele Shaak 
The story does make me love social media, though.

I’ve seen several examples over the past couple of years, of valuable items,
said to be lost, being found once somebody made it their business to really
really look for them.

By the way, my first job was in a dry cleaners. We did take care, but even so,
if items disappeared it was usually because the hanger had gotten mixed up
with another customer’s order, and so was taken out of the store. So, there
really wasn’t much point in looking in the store for it. I wonder if that
was the attitude held by the first people to search for it. If they were
thinking “nah, it’s not here” they’re not going to find it.

And when I read the article, it seemed to me the owner might have put the
dress aside, as a special item, and that’s why it was overlooked. A couple
of years ago my sister-in-law gave me my mother’s wedding dress. She had had
it smashed up in a bag for 30 years since Mom died. Then she took it to be
cleaned and pressed - the cleaner said he spent a month just looking at it,
wondering how to go about cleaning it, before the deadline loomed and he went
ahead and did his best. I bet the cleaner did something like that in this
case, too.

Glad to hear she’s going to a specialist with it now.

It is a beautiful dress, though, if it had been my wedding, I would have worn a 
slip.
