    A Gold Coast mother is desperately searching for her wedding dress after it was mistakenly sold to an op shop for $80 by a dry cleaning company. The custom-made gown was a gift from her late mother and holds immense sentimental value, with Peggy Worrell now offering a $1000 reward for its return. The dress disappeared during the dry cleaner's facility move when it was placed in storage and later ended up in an altercation between a contractor and the business.
