Below are frequently asked questions about gown preservation
When should I bring in my gown for preservation? As soon as you are finished with it. The sooner you have your gown cleaned and preserved the less likely you will have stains set.
Should I have my gown cleaned before bringing in for preservation? No. Cleaning is part of the preservation process. What stains are removed with your process? We are able to remove approximately 95% of all stains. Those such as tar, blood, perspiration, grass, mud, grease, and food are the most common. Also any sugar stains from cake icing, wine and other beverages. Local dry cleaners often are not able to remove sugar stains which may be invisible now but can actually eat holes in your dress.
I have heard of instances where the gown was not in the returned heirloomed chest. How can I know that I will receive my gown? The preservation chest actually has a viewing window and although your gown is sealed and protected you can see everything through the display window? You will be able to view your gown and veil. Any other items will be positioned at the bottom of the window, where possible, or packed underneath your dress.
What else can I send along with my gown? You may also send items such as your veil, headpiece, gloves, garter, moneybag, handkerchief, slip, flower girl gown, etc. Additional fees may apply.
Can someone wear my gown after it is preserved? Yes, but once the wearing is finished you will want to return your gown to The Gallery by Lynette for re-preservation. It is also handy is an undesirable wants to borrow your gown. "Sorry, It has been sealed." End of problem.
If you have any other questions, concerns or requests feel free to contact us.
What kinds of repairs are done to the gown? Wedding Gown Preservation Company prides itself on having a highly trained staff that can handle most repairs for a nominal fee.
