weddings, are considering wearing their mother's or grandmother's
elegant wedding gowns. These old gowns, locked up for so many
years in trunks and stored in the attic, may look neglected, but
many of them can be restored.
A professional dry cleaner, skilled in the restoration and treatment
of wedding gowns, can breathe new life into these heirloom treasures.
Choose your cleaner carefully; not all are bridal wear specialists.

your gown. He will check for tears and examine the areas which
came in contact with skin for stains and grime. He will inspect
the skirt and/or train for stains and decide whether or not the
gown can be perfectly restored. Don't worry about yellowing. If
the fabric is still good, a restoration specialist can achieve
amazing results.

weeks before your wedding so it will be ready when you need it.

the delicate laces, beading and fabric of your wedding ensemble.

for storage. If you Follow this advice, years from now, your gown
may grace beautiful brides in your future generations.
