Traditional Wedding Dress Cleaning + Preservation Kit

While preservation can still be done later, waiting too long allows invisible stains to oxidize and set permanently. For best results, we recommend sending your gown within a few weeks so our specialists can fully restore and protect it before any damage becomes irreversible.

Preservation always includes professional cleaning, so there’s no need to dry clean your gown separately. In fact, standard dry cleaning can miss delicate stains. Our specialized process handles both cleaning and preservation together for a more thorough, fabric-safe result.

A preserved gown should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Our acid-free, UV-protected preservation chest is designed for long-term storage, helping maintain fabric integrity, color, and structure for decades without the need for frequent handling.

Yes, absolutely! Your gown can be altered after preservation. However, removing it from the preservation chest will void the 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee. But you can always send it back to us after wearing or alterations, and we’ll professionally clean and preserve it again for continued protection.

No, not with proper preservation. Our process uses advanced cleaning and acid-free materials to prevent yellowing over time. Moreover, your gown is protected by our 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee, so you can feel confident it will stay as beautiful as your wedding day.

Our preservation is built to protect your wedding gown for a lifetime and beyond. With our museum-quality preservation materials and fabric-safe cleaning process, your dress is backed by a 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee, so it stays as beautiful as the day you wore it, ready to be passed down through generations. Trusted by over 3 million brides since 1913, we know how to make heirlooms last.

Our Traditional Wedding Dress Cleaning + Preservation Kit is currently available at $360 (regularly $460), a savings of $100 for a limited time. The kit is designed for gowns under 20 years old and valued under $2,000, and includes free insured 2-way shipping, cleaning of up to 5 wedding-day accessories, including your veil, and minor repairs at no extra charge.

The sooner, the better. Stains from food, champagne, sweat, and makeup may appear invisible at first but oxidize over time and become permanent if left untreated.

Once your kit arrives, you'll pack your gown using the included instructions and ship it via FedEx. At our facility, your dress undergoes our gentle SYSTEMK4 cleaning process, a safe, organic method suited for all fabrics. It's then professionally pressed, preserved in museum-quality materials, and sealed in an archival storage box before being shipped back to you.

Yes, and that's exactly why professional preservation is so important. Our cleaning specialists are trained to treat and remove a wide range of stains, including wine, champagne, dirt, makeup, and even invisible sugar-based stains, using our gentle SYSTEMK4 process. The earlier you send the dress in, the better the results.

For most brides, yes, especially if you want to keep the gown as a keepsake, pass it down to a daughter, or simply protect the investment you made in it. Our service not only cleans and protects the fabric from yellowing and deterioration but also includes minor repairs, complimentary shipping, and a lifetime preservation guarantee, making it well worth every dollar.
