Yellowing fabric, delicate lace fraying, or beading that’s lost its sparkle.

How Our Restoration Process Works
-
1
Assessment & Evaluation
You can submit your gown online or bring it in for a personalized quote. Each gown is carefully assessed for fabric condition, stains, and structural integrity. After a thorough evaluation, we'll recommend the best process to clean, repair, and preserve your gown safely.

Cleaning & restoration
Services may include delicate hand-cleaning, repairing lace or beading, and color correction where possible. We clean all our vintage wedding dresses as part of our restoration service by using gentle, ocean-safe methods.

Completion & delivery
Turnaround times vary based on the gown's condition and the complexity of the work. Most projects take 4–6 weeks. Rush services may be available for an additional fee.
Pricing depends on the gown’s fabric, age, and condition.
We do not offer standard dry cleaning for stains and spot treatment, or heirlooming services. However, we can refer you to some wonderful dry cleaners!
