Dry cleaning a 'prom' frock. What's it likely to cost?

Has anyone any idea of how much Istanbul is likely to cost to have a prom frock dry cleaned.
Strapless bodice with some sequins and a layered, full length net skirt, with petticoat underneath (sticky out type). Sorry I don't know the correct way to describe it.
I imagine it will be expensive?
It's a lovely frock, only worn once, but has been hanging in the wardrobe for a few years.
Not sure what I should do with it.

No idea but love the autocorrect 😂

Does it really need cleaning? Hanging out in the open (ideally outside....) might be all it needs if it was clean when it was put away

Bue yes, it was a bit of a random autocorrect, wasn't it?

Olenna I was thinking that, just wondered if I was being very tightfisted. I will wait for a nice day and give it a good airing.

Still don't know what to do with it though. It was expensive for a single use prom dress. Maybe I should consider venturing into the (for me) unknown and mysterious world of EBay.
