Wedding Dress Restoration FAQs
When does a wedding dress need restoration instead of standard cleaning?
Restoration may be needed for wedding dresses that are over 20 years old, yellowed, significantly discolored, extremely soiled, or damaged by mold, mildew, smoke, or pests.
Can yellowing be reversed through restoration?
Yes. In many cases yellowing can be removed or significantly improved through delicate hand restoration.
What stains cannot be removed from a wedding dress?
Most stains can be completely and safely removed, including makeup, dirt, tar, grass, mud, grease, food, blood, sugar, wine, perspiration, and champagne. However, results depend on the fabric, the stain type, and how long the stain has been present. Complete stain removal cannot be guaranteed in every case.
How old does a gown need to be to require restoration?
Restoration is generally required for wedding dresses that are about 20 years old or older.
Can metal-backed buttons affect restoration results?
Yes. Certain metal-backed buttons may need to be removed to prevent rust from transferring onto the dress during cleaning.
How long does wedding dress restoration take?
Approximately 4–8 weeks. Restoration and repairs may take slightly longer. A rush service option can reduce processing time to 2 weeks in-house.
Can restoration be added to a preservation package?
Yes. Restoration can be added to a preservation package if needed.
