Few things are as cherished as a wedding gown. With the careful planning
that goes into selecting the perfect gown, many brides choose to heirloom their
dress as a keepsake. A properly preserved gown preserves the dream of passing it
down to a daughter or close family friend.
While a gown may be worn just one day, and may not appear soiled, it will
require careful cleaning. Hidden soiling includes perspiration and body oils.
Long gowns will pick up soil along the hemline and train and very likely, there
will be food and beverage spills. Some stains, which are not immediately
visible, will develop with age through oxidation causing discoloration, fabric
weakness and damage to the gown.
Our wedding gown specialists carefully examine every gown, establishing
the most suitable method of cleaning. Inspections are made at every stage of the
cleaning and preservation process. Each wedding gown receives special and
individual handling, with attention given to every detail.
Heirloom Preservation
Our newly designed storage boxes feature state of the art moisture and
oxygen control technology. Traditional wedding gown storage boxes do not protect
or guarantee against oxidation or "yellowing" of the gown. Our
advanced system guarantees that your gown will be as good as the day you wore it
down the aisle.
Your dress is carefully sealed in an acid-free inner box that controls
humidity. The oxygen is purged and replaced with an inert gas, virtually making
oxidation impossible. Our sealed packaging allows viewing of your gown and veil
at any time, while protecting your gown from mold, mildew, insect damage and
oxidation. The inner box is placed in a durable long-term storage chest for
additional safety.
The First Step
No matter what the garment, careful cleaning is one of the most
important steps. Your treasured item will be cleaned and meticulously
inspected. These methods will make certain that oils, visible stains and
marks are removed. Also removed are those troublesome stains that are
"invisible" to the eye. If left in place, these difficult stains
can discolor and eventually cause deterioration of the fabric. The Process
will assure that stains that contain any form of sugar will be removed.
Sugar-type stains will not be dissolved during ordinary drycleaning. Over
time this sort of stain will tend to "caramelize" into unsightly
brownish marks and streaks. Salt, a natural by-product of wear by contact
with the skin, can still remain in the garment after typical drycleaning
and over time salt will damage the fabric of the garment. The cleaning
techniques used by every PPP licensee guarantee that these precautions
will be taken. |

The Second Step
Careful pressing, folding, shaping and inserting into the
preservation container is the next important step. How a garment is folded
for storage is very important. The fabric must be folded tenderly, taking
care not to create tight creases that may cause a permanent effect on the
fabric. Ordinary boxes and packing tissues contain a form of
"acid" which may damage fabric. Ordinary boxes may cause
"yellowing" and "burning" of the fabric. Over several
years of storage, brown streaks may form wherever the fabric of the
garment was in contact with acidic corrugated cardboard or tissue. Only
acid-neutral tissue and acid-neutral boxes are used throughout the
Prestige Preservation process. Also, heat-shrink, clear vinyl material is
used that will not damage a stored item. |

The Third Step
The Prestige Preservation Process packaging and sealing of your treasured
garment is the final step. First, your garment is carefully placed within a
high-quality inner box...a box that does not contain any of the damage-causative
elements mentioned above. It will be folded with high-quality acid-neutral
tissue so as not to cause permanent creases. The inner box is then sealed with a
heat-shrink neutral clear vinyl material. This encapsulating film protects the
contents from contaminating air, dust, or infestation. After sealing, a
proprietary process removes the oxygen from within the seal. Then the oxygen is
replaced by a special formulation of inert gases that enhance the preservation
process. You will be able to view the item stored through a view window in the
sealed packaging. Your garment is then placed in an outer protection box. The
outside box is printed with information about the preservation process and a
description of the warranty provided and instructions on what to do if you have
any concerns.
Finally, your bridal gown or special garment is placed in a heavy-duty
shipping package to assure its protection during shipping to your home or
business...
Preserve your treasured memory for someone special. Restore your gown to
the true color and form.
