Question about preserving a wedding gown?
My wedding gown is in a bag in the back seat of my car it is in the bridal bag it came in. My questions are I live out west I have been married over 14 years and never had the extra money to get my dress preserved like they do at the dry cleaners. How much does it cost to get a wedding gown cleaned and preserved and after 14 years do you think it is worth doing this? I thought after some bills are paid I thought it would be a nice thing to do. I have no little girls to pass the dress on to but my grandma willed me the money to get the dress so I thought preserving it would be a nice thing to do. what is your take on this?
An “out west” local would indicate a hot car in the summer. Has the gown been in your backseat for 14 years? If it has or not, you should take it out and inspect it. Make sure the fabric is ok. If it seems not dried out, or damaged in any way than take it to a dry cleaners that does certified gown preservation. I live “out west” and had mine cleaned, holes sewn, and boxed with my veil. I have no little girls either. I just wanted to keep it nice. Plus the box has a window so I can look at it. The cost of the preservation and cleaning was $100.
