Your
wedding gown is one of your most precious possessions. It is the symbol of an important
event in your life and should be treated with special care. Preserve your wedding gown as
a keepsake, perhaps for your own daughter to wear on her wedding day.
Cleaning
industry experts recommend that you have your wedding gown cleaned by an expert before
storage. The gown may have invisible stains from food, beverages, body oil or make-up.
Long gowns and trains typically get soiled from the ground and dance floor. If these
stains are not properly cleaned, they may become permanent.
THE
CLEANING PROCESS
Your distinct wedding gown is first inspected for
stains, loose beads and open seams. All repairs are tended to before the cleaning
process. Your delicate gown is then pre-treated for stain removal and is
professionally hand-cleaned by our skilled garment care specialists using the finest and
most gentle products available on the market today.
THE
HAND FINISHING PROCESS
Your wedding gown is then hand finished by a skilled
hand-presser who delicately presses every part of your wedding gown as though it
were to be worn that day.
THE
PRESERVATION PROCESS
Your precious wedding
gown is then precisely placed in an acid-free, lignin-free preservation chest which
allows the fabric to breathe while protecting against the damages of light, dust and
mildew. Acid-free tissue paper is used to cushion each fold of your wedding gown to
maintain the designer's delicate line and drape. The preservation chest with a gown
viewing window is then sealed. An outer protection box is then placed over the
acid-free chest to further protect against dust and light.
THE
FINAL STEP - STORAGE
Properly storing your
heirloom package is a vital step to the preservation process. Store your package in
a cool, dry dark environment. Some suggestions are under a bed or in a closet
on a level floor. Moisture may be detected in most attics and basements, therefore,
never store in these locations.
