Cameo Cleaners of Gramercy Park - Bridal Gown Cleaning & Preservation

After the beautiful day is over, you're usually off on your honeymoon trip. That gorgeous gown is usually left bunched up in a corner, placed under a bed, or in a closet. It's not until some time later that thoughts of cleaning and preserving your expensive wedding gown reach the top of your "things to do" list.
Since many stains, especially alcohol and sugar, tend to "set" in fabric over time, it is a good idea to make sure that your gown is brought in to us for proper treatment as soon as possible. We will even be glad to come and pick up the gown for you or arrange shipping if you are not in the New York City area.

Cleaning and preserving gowns is a job we take very seriously. Most brides want to preserve memories with pictures, videos, and a preserved wedding gown in a beautiful preservation chest.

The task of preserving a wedding gown is multi-faceted. It involves:

Proper inspection of all areas of the gown
Proper testing of all the different beading and trim
Selection of the soaps and solvents needed to carefully remove all stains
Gentle cycle cleaning
Careful re-inspection of all trim and soiled areas
Meticulous pressing and stuffing with acid-free paper to ensure no fading over time
Sewing of any loose beads or buttons or trim
Careful placement in an acid-free box to ensure safe storage over the years

All these steps are taken to ensure your complete satisfaction in knowing that your gown will be a valued keepsake in your family for many years to come. When you trust your gown to us, a simple pressing 20 years from now will have your gown ready to wear by the next generation.
