MuseumCare™ Preservation

Save Your New Gown for Someone Special

Preserve your wedding gown with a MuseumCare™ preservation and turn the memory of your special day into an heirloom. Perhaps someday your daughter or granddaughter will walk down the aisle wearing the same gown that meant so much to you. Keep your gown in the family the right way with the preservation service you can trust!

Our thoroughness and attention to detail guarantee great results!

Free Evaluation: We will gladly give you a free consultation and estimate for the care of any fabric, new or old.

Handcleaning: We hand treat and clean each gown individually -- never in combination with any other dresses. We take every precaution to protect delicate beads, embroidery, and lace during the cleaning process.

Anti-sugar Stain Treatment: Spills containing sugar, salt, and acid often dry clear and cannot be seen. These latent stains do not dissolve during ordinary dry cleaning and turn an ugly brown over time. Our unique anti-sugar stain treatment, featured in Modern Bride and Bride's, ensures that all sugar, salt, and acid -- seen or unseen -- is removed.

Personal Inspection Available: You may arrange to inspect your gown before the true preservation is completed.

Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection: Vacuum or plastic seals and other materials can damage gowns. Your gown is layered with acid-free tissue and carefully folded into an acid-free, archival-quality wedding chest.

International Guarantee: Members of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists™ are represented in more than 500 cities around the world. Return your gown to any participating member, who will inspect and press the gown at no extra charge.

Straight Talk about Gown Preservation

Who is she? Who will be the next to wear your gown? Your daughter or your granddaughter, your cousin, your daughter-in-law or even your grand-daughter-in-law? Preserve your special gown for her -- the right way -- with a true preservation.

What is true preservation?
True preservation of your gown includes:

- hand cleaning with special chemicals to remove visible stains.
- thorough cleaning in a solvent bath.
- unique anti-sugar stain treatment featured in Modern Bride and Bride's.
- environmentally-pure, lasting protection of acid-free tissue, an acid-free acetate window for viewing treasured memories, and an acid-free, archival-quality wedding chest

Why are sugar, salt and acid important?
Wedding gown spills such as soda, wine and cake (many times caused by a guest and unnoticed by the bride) contain sugar and often dry without leaving a visible mark. Sugar is not dissolved during ordinary dry cleaning and caramelizes over time into ugly brown stains. Salt, too, can remain behind after ordinary dry cleaning and literally eat the fabric of the gown. Ordinary boxes and tissue are heavy in acid, which also damages fabric. Ordinary boxes actually yellow and "burn" gowns. After a few years there will be dark brown streaks wherever the fabric was in contact with the box or tissue.

When should I preserve my gown and where should I keep it?
Gowns should be treated with the true preservation process as soon as possible after the wedding before stains can set and sugar begins to caramelize. Do not keep gowns in plastic bags - plastic emits fumes that yellow the gown - and never store gowns in the attic or basement where there are extreme changes in temperature and/or humidity.

What is my guarantee?
You receive a written 100% international guarantee against sugar stains or yellowing of the gown. When the gown is to be worn again, it will be inspected and pressed by any participating Wedding Gown Specialist at no charge.

There is a difference. Only a MuseumCare™ preservation from a member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists® is true protection for you and your gown - look for our name and look for our logo!
