Cleaning & Preservation

We partner with fine laundering specialists who have been in business since 1913 to bring museum-quality care to gowns, suits, and other delicate garments.

Please note, there is a $225 additional charge for all vintage items. An item is considered vintage if it is at least 20 years old.

Every piece goes through a 12-point inspection to ensure the best possible treatment. 

• $8,000 declared value (we can still add more optionally)
• Manager inspection 
• Express 14 day turn around included
• Hand pressing on all gowns 

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 a 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.
