Your gown should be cleaned as soon as possible after being worn. The longer that stains set in the dress, the harder it will be to remove them. Most brides will want to preserve their dress in order to have it as a keepsake. Also, many will want to pass it on to their daughters. We recommend having the dress cleaned before having us store it. Invisible stains and body oil may cause the dress to turn yellow within time and the stains will no longer be able to come out. After cleaning, we can pack your wedding gown in a special storage box that will help prevent contamination. You will need to store your gown in a cool, dry place. Do not store it in a basement or attic. Basement dampness could cause the dress to turn yellow attic heat could also promote yellowing of the fabric.
