Bridal Gown Cleaning and Care
Tips: For Very Special Care of Your Very Special Bridal Gown.
Always... hang your wedding gown by loops inside
the gown that are connected to sturdy side seams, never by fragile shoulder
seams that can stretch or sag.
Always... avoid storing your wedding gown in
plastic bags or vacuum-sealed, plastic wrapped containers because plastic emits
fumes that can yellow your bridal gown and trap moisture that mildews your
wedding gown.
Always... ask what precautions the specialist takes
to protect delicate trims and decorations on your wedding gown and how the
cleaner guards against latent stains on your wedding gown.
Always... choose a specialist who will personally
process your bridal gown, never one who sends your bridal gown away to be
cleaned.
Always... ask to inspect your wedding gown
personally before it is put into the container, which should be a completely
acid-free museum quality archival wedding chest lined with fabric or acid-free
tissue.
Always... avoid storing your bridal gown in the
attic or basement where there are extreme changes in temperature or
humidity.
