where/how can I restore my mom's wedding dress?

My mom's wedding dress was beautiful but she never preserved it. It has yellowed a lot and I was thinking of using some part of it for my wedding day. Maybe the lace overlaw of her dress as my veil. Where/how can I restore the color and bring it back to white...this may sound dumb but do they do professional bleaching??? Can an ordinary dry cleaners fix this and is it even fixable? If anyone know please help! Thanks!

I just saw an article on this in the newest Long Island wedding pages (it's a magazine, but also a website www.longislandweddingpages.com or maybe liweddingpages.com)

My mom had used the train of her wedding dress to make our christening outfits. Recently when my nephew was born she pulled them out and they were horribly yellowed. She used some water and woolite and then let them dry in the sun and they looked brand new white!
