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.
