Gown Preservation

November 4th, 2009

Ahh that wedding gown…it takes months, tears, stress, savings, and approval from your bridal party to find that perfect wedding dress. You will wear it once and have the most beautiful day. Amidst the walk down the aisle, makeup smears, dining, dancing, drinking, perspiration, and socializing, you are bound to stain your gown. 

Now how to get your gown back into mint condition and have it stay that way? Gown preservation is the way to go. Don’t let months pass by because before you know it stains will be harder to get out, invisible stains will appear due to sugar and salt spills, yellowing of the fabric will begin, and mildew can become a problem. 

Have your precious gown shipped or dropped off at a preservation company. Some reputable preservationist specialists are Preservations by Fox in Los Angeles, Margaret’s Cleaners in Orange County, and J. Scheer & Co. in New York. Prices can range from about $350++ depending on gown size, fabric, details, and stains.

 Your gown will be carefully examined, individually handled, and put through a thorough cleaning. Check out their websites for the detailed process. In due time you’ll be ready to say I do again!
