GOWN CLEANING AND
PRESERVATION SERVICES

The White Dress by the Shore in conjunction with the Association of
Wedding Gown Specialists offers wedding gown cleaning and preservation services.
Perhaps someday your daughter or granddaughter will walk down the aisle wearing
the same bridal gown that meant so much to you. We allow you to preserve
your wedding gown with a MuseumCareTM
preservation and turn the memory of your special day into an heirloom.
Every gown is hand transported to a CT based gown cleaning and preservation
plant where it undergoes the following procedures:
Hand cleaning: Each gown is hand treated and cleaned individually --
never in combination with any other bridal gown. Every precaution is taken
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. The unique
anti-sugar stain treatment used, featured in Modern Bride and Bride's,
ensures that all sugar, salt, and acid -- seen or unseen -- is removed.
Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection: Vacuum or plastic seals and other
materials can damage wedding gowns. Your bridal gown will be layered with
acid-free tissue and carefully folded into an acid-free, museum quality,
archival wedding chest with a clear window for viewing.
When your gown is to be worn
again, it can be returned to any participating Certified Wedding Gown SpecialistTM
who will inspect and press the gown at no charge.
