How a wedding gown is preserved

Handing down a wedding gown is something special. Ever wonder how gown preservation is done? Here is some information you may consider.

How are gown cleaned?

* Gowns are hand-cleaned with gentle chemicals to dissolve stains. Then, the gown is rinsed in pure solvents to complete the cleaning process.

What is preservation?

* Gowns are carefully packed with acid-free tissue and placed in a museum quality chest. This chest protects the fabric from exposure to air and light which can cause yellowing over time. 

Can the gown be seen from the chest?

* Yes. The gown can be viewed from the front of the chest - similar to a store front window.

The sentimental value attached to a wedding gown is often times greater than the purchased value of the gown. Handing down a bride's gown from one generation to the next is an honor. This tradition can be preserved forever. 

This cherished possession is certainly a sign of a strong family bond.

Happy planning!
