Our Thoroughness and Attention to Detail Guarantee Great Results...
- Free Evaluation: We will gladly give you a free consultation and estimate for the care of any fabric, new or old.
- Hand-Cleaning: We hand-treat and clean each gown individually - never in combination with other dresses. We take every precaution to protect delicate beads, embroidery, and lace during the cleaning process.
- Anti-Sugar Stain Treatment: Spills containing sugar, salt, and acid often dry clear and cannot be seen. these latent stains do not dissolve during ordinary dry cleaning and turn an ugly brown over time. Our unique anti-sugar stain treatment, featured in Modern Bride and Bride's, ensures that all sugar, salt, and acid - seen or unseen - is removed.
- Personal Inspection Available: We encourage you to inspect your gown before our MuseumCareTM preservation is completed.
- Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection: Vacuum or plastic seals and other acidic materials damage gowns. We use acid-free tissue to protect your gown and enclose it in a completely acid-free archival-quality wedding chest. Acid-free windows for viewing your treasured memories are available.
- International Guarantee: Members of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists are represented in more than 500 cities around the world. Return your gown to any participating Wedding Gown Specialist who will inspect and press the gown at no charge. Improper handling of the gown without the supervision of a Wedding Gown Specialist may cause damage and compromise the preservation of your gown.
