Wedding dress cleaning.

Hi All. I'm desperately looking for some help please?

I had stored my wedding dress at my Mum's since my wedding in 2015. Unfortunately, I lost my mum 2 years ago and it has come back to me. I thought it had been cleaned after I'd worn it but now I've looked at it again, it has yellowed, so I'm guessing it hasn't 😭.

Is there any rescuing it after all this time? Or am I stuffed? I live in East Yorkshire so if anyone knows anywhere that would give it a go I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

I used to work in a dress shop that hired wedding gowns out and if your dress is satin with minimal beading you can hand wash in your bath... vanish soap bar to get the mud etc off.. some can even be put on a delicate cycle in machine..... yes they did this and charged people a £100 plus cleaning fee 💀😭 to iron make sure no water in your iron and lowest setting after it'll be good as new! dry cleaners will also wash for you if you weren't looking for the diy answer

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, it has a lot of beading on and lace. I may have to try the dry cleaners and hope they can get it out 🤞.
