Cleaning and Preservations

Wedding dresses clean and preserved

Many brides have come to the Wedding Gown Specialists, for restoring wedding dresses that have been lovingly passed on from their mother or grandmother. We’ve even cleaned a vintage gown handed down to a bride by her great-great-grandmother.

Unfortunately, vintage bridal gowns often emerge with damage caused by improper cleaning or storage. Wedding dresses can yellow, or oxidize (especially the lace portions), develop deep creases, and in some cases the textile can weaken and disintegrate when subjected to stress.

The good news: the Wedding Gown Specialists have had phenomenal success restoring, whitening and reconditioning wedding dresses over a hundred years old. Our technicians use careful, archival-grade methods and have decades of experience in textile restoration. No matter the age, or damage to the garment, come see us for a consultation in one of our convenient Los Angeles locations. We’ll inform you of the results you can expect, and explain each step in the process.

You only have one chance to properly restore an irreplaceable vintage wedding dress. Trust your heirlooms to the Wedding Gown Specialists
