Wedding Dresses/Formal Gowns
Your wedding gown is one of your most cherished possessions, and it deserves special attention both before and after your big day. Plaza Cleaners offers both professional alterations and steaming services so you can be sure your dress will look as perfect as you do on your wedding day.
When the day is over, you may wish to preserve your beautiful gown to commemorate this milestone in your life — perhaps with the thought of one day passing it down to a daughter or special friend. Since a bridal gown is often worn for just one day, it may not appear to be soiled. However, careful cleaning is critical in preserving your heirloom for years to come. Soiling from perspiration and body oils is often hidden, food and beverage spills are quite common, and long gowns will generally pick up soil along the hemline and train. Some stains are not immediately visible, but they can develop with age through oxidation. This can cause discoloration, fabric weakness and damage to the gown.
Our specialists at Plaza Cleaners will carefully examine your bridal gown to determine the most suitable cleaning method, based on the fabric type, amount of soiling and manufacturer’s recommendations.
After your dress has been properly cleaned, it may be stored on a hanger or carefully sealed in one of our acid-free storage boxes that are designed to control humidity. This sealed packaging allows viewing of your gown and veil, while protecting it from mold, mildew, insect damage and oxidation.
Your wedding dress symbolizes a very important event in your life. You can count on our experienced team at Plaza Cleaners to handle it with the utmost care.
