What Happens to Unpreserved Wedding Dresses?
Every wedding dress is unquestionably stunning, but it’s also very delicate. As such, without proper cleaning and preservation, here’s what can befall a bridal dress:
- Fabrics deteriorate. Without proper care, delicate materials can weaken, lose their original texture, and become prone to tears or fraying.
- Stains become permanent. Untreated stains settle deeper into the fabric, making removal increasingly difficult. Surely, nobody likes to see their dress marred by stains.
- It can turn yellow and discolor. Exposure to air and light can cause yellowing of the dress. This natural aging process, often accelerated without preservation, alters the hue of the dress and diminishes its original beauty.
- Less likely to withstand the elements. Unpreserved dresses are more susceptible to environmental elements such as humidity, dust, and mold. These factors can expedite the deterioration process, hence risking irreversible damage.
- It can’t be passed down as a family heirloom. The accumulated effects of stains and discoloration can significantly detract from its original beauty and sentimental value, making it almost impossible to be considered a cherished family heirloom.

Assessment
We start by inspecting every inch of your dress. That means checking for stains, loose threads, missing beads, weakened seams, and any damage you may not even see. Every dress is different, and our treatment always depends on the material, detailing, and condition of the dress.
Hand Treatment of Stains and Delicate Areas
Next, we pretreat stains by hand using gentle, fabric-safe solutions. Whether it’s a champagne splash or makeup around the neckline, we target the stain without harming delicate lace, tulle, or embroidery.
Couture-level Cleaning Process
We don’t use harsh machines or generic chemicals. Your dress is cleaned by hand, one section at a time, using couture-approved methods that protect the texture, color, and shape of the fabric.
Minor Repairs and Reinforcements
If we find loose buttons, beads, or a hem that’s starting to fray, we take care of it right then and there. These subtle repairs help your dress look as beautiful as the day you wore it.
Final Pressing and Finishing
Once cleaned and restored, your dress is carefully steamed or pressed depending on the fabric type. We shape it so it holds its original silhouette: soft, elegant, and photo-ready.
Archival-grade Packaging
We place your dress into a museum-quality preservation box lined with acid-free tissue. This protects it from yellowing, dust, and moisture, while allowing the fabric to breathe naturally over time.
Sealed for Long-term Storage
Once boxed, your dress is sealed and ready for storage. You’ll receive instructions on where and how to store it at home so it stays safe and beautiful, whether it’s for five years or fifty.
