Wedding Gown Preservation:
Preserving a wedding gown is crucial in order to maintain the dresses beauty and elegance. Air, household gasses, sunlight and moisture can all work to degrade a wedding gown, preservation will help keep a dress beautiful by removing those conditions. A preserved gown should be stored in a temperature controlled environment that does not experience moisture, extreme hot or cold temperatures. The pictures below are of a gown being preserved and the steps involved. Please note the dress cannot be viewed from the outside, in fact there are several layers of protection that are between the dress and the outside box. We always recommend that you ask to see your dress after cleaning but before it's preserved.
Broken buttons:
Buttons break for a variety of reasons but in the laundry process the two most common are 1. poor press padding and 2. use of non-pliable buttons in manufacturing. Press paddings breakdown after repeat usage we change our pads according to machine standards of 20,000 shirts between changes. Non-pliable buttons are sometimes used by manufactures to lower unit cost increasing profitability. These buttons become brittle after laundering and crack. Pliable buttons become soft during the laundering process allowing them to cool and retain their strength.

How is dry cleaning done?
The process of dry cleaning is utilizing equipment that resembles a large washing machine that uses a petroleum based solvent, as in our case type 140F and DF2000, as a cleaning medium instead of water. Petroleum solvent is a liquid that dissolves other solids or liquids that appear on garments but does not contain the most common solvent, water. Once the items are cleaned they are then dried at a temperature not exceeding 170 degrees fahrenheight. After drying the garments are finished on a low moisture steam press and sent for inspection and packaging.
