We then ask our brides to inspect  the gown before it is preserved to ensure everything has been cleaned and pressed to their expectations. We offer several different preservation methods. You may choose a muslin bag, a specifically designed garment bag that allows the dress to breathe while protecting it from permanent creases, light, and dust. This is an excellent option if you are short on space. We also offer a boxed method. The gown  is situated in a specifically designed, acid-free, museum quality gold foil box. Acid -free tissue paper is used to buffer folds along with a cardboard bodice to maintain the integrity of the dress.

     Experts agree that it is important to preserve your gown as soon as possible. Avoid leaving the dress on a hanger which can ruin the shape, or in a plastic bag which can cause yellowing. After preservation, store your dress in a dry, cool environment. You should avoid basements, musty attics and direct sunlight.
