Bridal Gown Preservation & Restoration

We are experts at properly caring for wedding gowns so that they can be preserved and passed on from one generation to the next. Proper preservation involves much more than standard dry cleaning care. Our process includes hand cleaning with special chemicals to remove both visible and invisible stains, thorough cleaning in a solvent bath, anti-sugar stain treatment, and acid free packaging to prevent yellowing.We offer a written guarantee against sugar stains and yellowing. When the gown is ready to be worn again, simply take it to any participating Association Wedding Gown Specialists member for free inspection and pressing.We are experts at removing sugar and salt stains. Often at a reception items containing sugar get spilled on a dress and dry without leaving a visible stain. Sugar is not dissolved during ordinary dry cleaning, and if left behind it can caramelize into ugly brown stains. The same is true for salt, which can eat away at fabric over time. Our preservation process addresses both of these potential problems.

If you are planning to wear a vintage gown that has not been well preserved, our Museum Care cleaning process can help restore the fabric to its original beauty. We perform all of our work onsite so that we can personally oversee every step of the process, and all of the work is backed with a written guarantee.
