Our Commitment to

THE ENVIRONMENT

Some cleaning solvents are thought to be more friendly to the environment than others. However, any cleaning process, no matter what solvent is used, generates carbon emissions. We buy carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org to account for the carbon footprint of your wedding gown cleaning and wedding gown preservation including your travel to and from our Certified Wedding Gown SpecialistTM near you, the cleaning procedures, and the manufacture of your wedding gown preservation chest.  In turn, Carbonfund.org  funds reforestation projects worldwide.  We are the first in the industry to offer truly eco-friendly wedding gown cleaning, restoration, and preservation, and our MuseumCareTM ZeroCarbonTM preservations are unique.

Donating Your Wedding Gown

In the U.S. consider donating your wedding gown to WishUponaWedding.org, a non-profit that grants expenses for weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances.  They accept wedding party dresses and other specialty gowns, too, and all proceeds from gown sales at their partner site WishUponaDress.com go to fund events for wedding-wish recipients.  Brides Across America accepts cash donations to fund the purchase of wedding gowns for military women.  There is also Fairytale Brides for women on a budget in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, and proceeds go to select charities.  In Australia, you may donate to the Angel Gown Program or the Salvation Army.

Selling Your Wedding Gown

International website PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com offers a very helpful calculator for estimating the value of your wedding gown.  For a nominal one-time fee (and no commission on the sale), you can list your wedding dress for as long as you like.  In the U.S. StillWhite.com and in Australia, StillWhite.com.au are also good places to sell your wedding gown online.  You can also google “vintage wedding dress sales.”  For local consignment shops, google “wedding gown consignment shops.”
