Wedding Gown Restoration and Preservation

Bring Your Gown Only To A Qualified Dry Cleaner For Restoration

Your wedding gown is, by far, the most expensive and the most sentimental garment you’ll ever purchase.

After your special day, trust the restoration and preservation of your gown to the professionally-trained experts at Tres Bon Dry Cleaners. We’ve treated thousands of gowns over the years, and our experience is carefully employed when handling such important articles.

Wedding Gowns Are One of Our Specialties.

It’s truly gratifying to see the smile of a newlywed bride when she first lays eyes on her restored wedding dress. That makes all the time and hard work worth it for us.

After being worn at the wedding reception, gowns typically have significant food and beverage staining, as well as makeup marks and perspiration rings.

Beach weddings are not uncommon either, and those gowns really take a beating.

We Love Bringing These Gowns Back to Pristine Condition!

However, the most soiled area of the gown is almost always the hemline. It’s not uncommon for the entire hemline to actually be blackened with dirt from the aisle, the dance floor, and everywhere in between. Plus, there are often grass stains if the wedding takes place outdoors, or from photo shoots.

But the good news is we’ve seen it all – and we love bringing these gowns back to pristine condition!

The Process of Restoration

Here's what you can expect when you bring your gown in to be restored and preserved:

A personal consultation during which we examine your gown thoroughly with you and explain the process we will undertake for your specific gown.

Depending on the type of décor and trimming, we may even decide to remove some types of beading, sequins, and gemstones prior to the restoration process, and re-sew them later.
During the consultation, the different packaging options we offer are also explained, and we give advice on gown preservation techniques you should follow once you bring your gown home, including "exercising" the gown.

In order to restore a gown to its original condition, we first spend hours removing each individual stain by hand.

We take special care to choose the proper stain removal agents for each type of stain.

After cleaning, the gown is intensively inspected and any remaining blemishes are removed.

Only then is it hand finished by a team of skilled pressers. The result is a gown that looks as good as the day you bought it - absolutely flawless. You’ll truly be amazed.
