Many wedding gowns are exquisitely adorned with beads, sequins, seed pearls, embroidery, lace and appliqués--things that can make ordinary dry cleaning ineffective or impossible. To maintain your gown’s beauty, it is essential to have it cleaned properly and preserved by a professional who understands how to treat such elements and now best to care for the fabric. Talk to your preservation professional and point out areas that may need to be specially treated.
