Wedding Dress Preservation is the process of cleaning, arranging and boxing a gown to prepare it for long-term storage and protect it from deterioration. All fabrics can be harmed by tensile stress (from hanging), moisture, UV Rays, pests, heat, chemical residue, and long-term exposure to foreign substances. Proper preservation starts with stain treatment and washing in a wet cleaning process. After a dress is thoroughly cleaned, it is hand pressed by our team in Austin and delicately arranged in a museum quality storage box. Wet cleaning is an essential part of the process as it eliminates the possibility of yellowing thru time because no petroleum solvents are used to clean the fabric.
