Cleaning & Preservation

We partner with industry specialists since 1913 to bring museum-quality care to gowns, suits, and other delicate garments. Every piece goes through a 12-point inspection to ensure the best possible treatment. 

Garment preservation is a two-step process:

Proper Cleaning followed by Proper Storage.

1. Proper Cleaning: This meticulous museum-quality after-wear laundering process restores delicate fabrics, sequins, and beads to their original beauty, surpassing the results of other services. A gown sent for cleaning and preservation will be cleaned, pressed or steamed, and then archived into the preservation chest. 

2. Professional Storage: After cleaning, your garment is archived in our acid-neutral, lignin-free preservation chest, which includes a custom bust form, tissue, and a polyester window for light protection.

Stored in a climate-controlled environment, your garment comes with a 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee. Please note: opening the chest voids this guarantee.
