Hand-finished cleaning for gowns of every era. Stain removal, beadwork inspection, and optional acid-free preservation boxing. Over 50 years of specialist experience.
Every gown we receive is treated as a one-off. Before any cleaning begins, we inspect the dress for stains, fabric condition, beadwork, lace and trim attachment, and any signs of earlier repairs.
After cleaning, you can choose to have your gown preserved in an acid-free box for long-term storage.
Why acid-free matters: ordinary cardboard and tissue paper release acids over time that yellow and weaken fabric — especially silk and satin. Acid-free materials prevent this, keeping the dress wearable or display-ready for decades.
Preservation boxing is available as an add-on when you book the cleaning. Call for current pricing.
As soon as possible after the wedding. Champagne, wine, sweat, makeup and grass stains all set with time and heat. A stain that's easy to lift in the first two weeks can be permanent six months later.
Bring the dress in whenever you can — the sooner the better, but we work on gowns of every era including dresses cleaned and stored decades ago.
Silk, satin, tulle, organza, lace, crepe, chiffon. Detailed beadwork, sequins, pearls.
Dresses from previous decades or family heirlooms — inspected and handled with care appropriate to their age.
Veils, detachable trains, belts, bolero jackets — cleaned alongside or independently.
If you have a preserved gown you'd like inspected before your own daughter's wedding or a display, we can open, check and re-preserve.
Pricing depends on fabric, detailing and the extent of staining. Preservation boxing is an additional add-on. Call for a personalised quote — we'll look at the dress and give a firm price before any work starts.
Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks for cleaning, or 3–4 weeks if preservation boxing is included. Rush service may be available — ask when you book.
Sometimes, yes. Success depends on the stain type, fabric, and how it was stored. We inspect and assess, and tell you honestly what we think we can achieve before starting.
Yes — pickup and delivery available across the Gold Coast on request. Call to arrange or book online.
Yes. Come in for a consultation before the wedding. We can look at the gown, suggest how to protect it on the day, and line up post-wedding cleaning and preservation so you don't have to think about it later.
