Questions Recently Asked on Chat
I need 2 dresses cleaned, just want to make sure the $460 is the correct amount
Yes, the total of $460 is correct for two dresses. This amount covers the cleaning and preservation of both gowns.
What is the difference between the Traditional and Restoration Kits?
The Traditional Kit includes professional cleaning and preservation of your gown. The Restoration Kit includes those same services plus treatment to remove yellowing and oxidation, making it ideal for older gowns or dresses that have been stored for a long time.
Are shoes included in the 5 free items, and can a slip, dress tag, or extra beading be counted as part of those free items? If I preserve shoes, should I send the shoe box as well? When listing the value of my dress, should I use the sale price or the actual value? Also, if my dress is valued over $2,000, is additional declared value coverage required or just recommended?
The slip can be included as one of the 5 free items, and tags and extra beading can also be included at no additional charge as part of those free items. Shoes can be preserved as well, but there is an additional $50 fee. You do not need to send the shoe box, as we do not preserve shoe boxes with the gown and accessories.
When listing the value of your dress, please use the actual value of the gown, not the sale price. For dresses valued over $2,000, additional declared value coverage is available and recommended, but it is not required.
Courtney Adams (United States)
Can I open my preservation box after receiving it, and does opening the box affect the 100-year guarantee? Does the guarantee become void only if the dress is removed from the box? Also, if I want to wear the dress again in the future, do any preservation chemicals need to be washed out first?
Yes, you can open the preservation box to inspect your gown. We recommend using the white gloves provided and resealing the box with the included materials afterward. Opening the box does not void the 100-year guarantee; however, removing the dress from the box does. If you decide to wear the dress again in the future, no special cleaning is required, as the preservation materials do not need to be washed away before wearing.

Your order (#12127666) was delivered to our cleaning facility on June 2 and is currently being processed. It typically takes about 7 days for your gown’s serial number to be entered into our system.

If you would like to discuss the repair further or check on your status, you may also contact Gown Preservation directly.

My daughter's wedding gown has mulch and small bits of sticks on the hem from an outdoor wedding in a botanical garden. Will these be removed during the cleaning process?
Yes, we can remove mulch, small sticks, and similar debris from the hem of the gown. This is a standard part of our professional cleaning process, and we will carefully clean the dress to remove these materials before preservation.
Lori Hammett (United States)
Does it cost extra to clean and preserve a wedding dress with a lot of glitter or sequins? My dress sheds glitter, and I understand some glitter loss may occur during preservation, but I’m wondering if there is an additional charge for gowns like this.
No, there is no additional charge for cleaning and preserving a glitter or sequin wedding gown. The price is the same as for any other gown. We regularly work with glitter-covered dresses and take every precaution to protect their appearance during the cleaning and preservation process. In most cases, there is little to no glitter loss, and we do our best to preserve as much of the original detailing as possible.
Amanda Talbot (United States)
My off-the-shoulder sleeves became detached on my wedding day. Can they be reattached during the cleaning process? My dress also has black smudges from the ground and red stains from strawberries—can those stains be removed? Additionally, does the Traditional Wedding Dress Preservation service include stain removal?
Yes, we can reattach your off-the-shoulder sleeves. Please make a note of this on your order form so our team can review it during processing. We can also treat and remove black smudges, red stains, and other common wedding-day stains using our advanced cleaning process. Stain removal is included with the Traditional Wedding Dress Preservation service, and our goal is to restore your gown to a like-new condition whenever possible. If you have any additional concerns about your dress, feel free to let us know.
Katie Keller (United States)
My daughter’s wedding dress has black marks and heavy soiling along the hem from dragging on the ground during outdoor photos. It also has some self-tanner and body makeup stains near the underarm area. Will these stains be removed during the cleaning process?
Yes, we can clean black marks and soiling from the hem of the dress. These types of stains are very common on wedding gowns, and our team has extensive experience treating them. We also frequently see self-tanner and body makeup stains, and can usually remove or significantly reduce them during the cleaning process, including in underarm areas.
My dress is quite big. Is your box big enough, and how big is the shipping box? Have you had any issues with brides being unable to fit their dresses into them?
Our shipping box comes in a standard size. However, our preservation box comes in multiple sizes to accommodate large wedding gowns. If your dress does not fit in the standard shipping box, please feel free to use any box of your choice, and we will take care of any additional shipping charges.
Can I add a detachable skirt to my order (#12127788)?
Yes! I have emailed you an invoice after adding the detachable skirt to your order. You can go ahead and pay the balance, and we will finish updating your order once the payment is received.
If you preserve a dress in a box, are you able to take it out later?
Yes, you can, but our preservation boxes are designed to stay sealed. Opening them later is not recommended, as it can introduce oils, light, and air that may damage the dress. If you do open it, you should only inspect it while wearing gloves.
Can I also send my shoes to be cleaned and preserved?
Yes, you can include your shoes to be cleaned and preserved along with your dress. It costs an extra $50.
 I wore my aunt's wedding dress, and we've been married slightly over 4 years, so it's been out of the preservation packaging for about 5 years. We spot-cleaned it after the wedding but didn't do anything intense. Does it need the restoration package? It isn't yellow.
If there is no yellowing, you can choose our Traditional package, which includes cleaning and preservation. You don’t need to get it restored. You can find the Traditional package here: https://www.trustedweddinggownpreservation.com/products/traditional-wedding-dress-preservation-kit?variant=44692109459752
Do I have to send the dress to the cleaners before sending it to get preserved?
No, you don’t need to clean it first. We professionally clean your dress as part of the preservation process.
Will you clean stains from spray tan?
Yes, Kelsey, we do clean spray tan stains as part of the wedding dress cleaning and preservation process.
Can my veil be preserved with the dress?
Yes, your veil can be preserved with your dress. We include the cleaning and preservation of up to 5 accessories, including your veil, at no extra cost.
My dress is a ballgown. Will it fit in the box?
Yes, it will fit. We use multiple box sizes for all styles, including full ballgowns, and have never had a dress that couldn’t be accommodated.
Where is my order (#12127786)?
Your order is currently in process. Our timeline is 6–8 weeks, and it has been one week since your order was received.
Can I get an update on my gown, please? I cannot find it in the system. Order #12127669.
Please contact Gown Preservation directly at 800-305-3108 for an update.
I am trying to get my daughter's gown boxed up, and it says to include the white and yellow copies of the order form. I do not see them.
The front page is the one you would send to Gown Preservation that lists all the options. The back copy is yours to keep, which shows the serial number.
When can I get the kit if I order it today?
We will ship it out tomorrow or, at the latest, by Tuesday. You should receive it by the end of the week, depending on your location. If you are in NY, you will receive it the next day.
Can you tell me the difference between the traditional package for $360 and the cleaning-only option?
The traditional package includes both cleaning and preservation, and your dress gets sent back to you in a preservation box. The clean-only option is strictly cleaning, and the dress is returned to you in a cleaner's bag.
I recently ordered a wedding gown preservation kit (Order #12127697) that I never received. Based on the tracking number, it says it arrived on June 6th, but I do not have it. What address do you have on file, and would you be able to send me a replacement? If so, will I get a confirmation email once that is done?
Tracking shows it was delivered on Saturday, June 6, 2026, via FedEx (Tracking: 872699553490). The address we have on file is: Vicky Mitsukova, 53 Clay Street, Apt. S501 Brooklyn, NY 11222 United States

Questions About Wedding Dress Preservation?
What is wedding dress preservation?
Wedding dress preservation is a professional process that cleans, treats, and stores your gown in acid-free, archival materials to prevent yellowing, staining, and fabric deterioration. The service protects your dress for decades, allowing future generations to enjoy it or enabling repurposing into christening gowns or keepsakes.
What is the cost of wedding gown preservation?
At Trusted Wedding Gown Preservation, the Traditional Wedding Dress Cleaning + Preservation Kit costs $360, the Celebrity Wedding Dress Preservation Kit costs $435, the Clean Only Wedding Gown Cleaning Kit costs $260, and the Restoration Wedding Dress Preservation Kit costs $460. All the kits provide exceptional care to maintain the beauty and integrity of your gown for many years to come.
What happens if you don't preserve your wedding dress?
Without preservation, wedding dresses typically develop yellow stains, fabric deterioration, and permanent discoloration within 2-10 years. Invisible stains (champagne, sweat, perfume) oxidize and turn brown. Fabrics become brittle, embellishments tarnish, and mold may develop in humid conditions, making future restoration difficult or impossible.
What is the difference between wedding dress cleaning and preservation?
Wedding dress cleaning focuses on removing visible and invisible stains from your gown using specialized techniques. Preservation goes a step further—it includes professional cleaning followed by careful packaging in acid-free, archival materials to prevent yellowing, fabric damage, and aging, keeping your gown in pristine condition for decades.
What's included in wedding dress preservation?
We start with a thorough inspection and expert stain removal using our advanced SYSTEMK4 cleaning technology. Your dress is then gently hand-pressed and carefully packaged in acid-neutral tissue within a museum-quality preservation chest featuring a UV-protected viewing window. We also preserve up to 5 accessories at no extra cost, provide 24/7 GownTracker monitoring, complimentary 2-way insured shipping, and back everything with a 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee. Minor repairs are included to ensure your gown looks flawless for generations.
Will your service remove yellowing from my wedding dress?

Can I open the preservation box to inspect my dress?
We recommend not removing the dress fully from the Preservation Kit, as this will void our 100-year warranty. However, you can carefully open the kit to inspect the gown and accessories. Just use the provided gloves, and once you’re done, reseal the box with the equipment included in your kit.
What if my dress does not fit the preservation box?
No worries, though! We have multiple sizes in preservation boxes to accommodate various dress styles. With our 100 years of expertise, we ensure your gown is carefully stored in the appropriate box to maintain its quality and shape for years to come. Additionally, our team assesses each dress individually to select the best fit for preservation.
How long does wedding dress preservation last?
Our preservation service is designed to protect your wedding dress for decades. With proper storage, preserved gowns can last up to 100 years, backed by our 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee. With expertise trusted by brides since 1913, your gown stays beautifully preserved, ready to be passed down through generations.
Is my wedding dress insured during shipping?
Yes, your gown is fully insured from the moment UPS picks it up until it's safely back in your hands. Our Traditional Kit includes $2,000 coverage; the Celebrity Kit, $3,000; the Clean-Only Kit, $1,000; and the Restoration Kit, $2000. We also provide a prepaid shipping label and require a signature upon delivery. We've never lost a gown!
How long does your preservation process take?
Once we receive your gown, our preservation process typically takes 2-8 weeks to complete. We'll keep you updated every step of the way with our GownTracker system, so you can monitor your dress 24/7 as it moves through cleaning, preservation, and packaging. Rush services are available if needed.
What makes your service different from regular dry cleaning?
Unlike standard dry cleaners, we use advanced SYSTEMK4 cleaning technology, which has been trusted by museum curators worldwide since 1913. We use a specialized brushing agent called PRENETTK4 to gently remove invisible stains, CLIPK4, a dry cleaning detergent for deep cleaning, and VINOYK4 for fabric protection. Then, we preserve your gown in acid-free, UV-protected storage, backed by a 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee.
Can I track my wedding dress during the preservation process?
Absolutely! We provide 24/7 tracking through our exclusive GownTracker system. Once your gown arrives at our facility, you'll receive a unique serial number allowing you to monitor every step, from initial inspection and stain removal to cleaning, preservation, and final packaging, right from your phone or computer.
Do you offer photo documentation of my preserved dress?
Yes! Due to high demand, we offer photo documentation as a $50 add-on with any kit. You’ll receive at least four high-quality images, including detailed hemline shots, plus additional photos if needed. Images are sent via text or email before shipping, giving you complete confidence in your gown’s flawless preservation.
How quickly will I receive my shipping kit after ordering?
Your kit ships fast and arrives in just 2-5 business days! It includes everything you need: detailed instructions, a crush-free container, a waterproof bag, a prepaid shipping label, and insurance documentation. Simply pack your dress following our easy instructions, schedule a UPS pickup, and we'll handle the rest.
What is your 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee?
We stand behind our work with an industry-leading 100-year guarantee against yellowing and fabric decay. If your properly stored gown develops yellowing, we'll re-clean and re-preserve it at no charge. We've been preserving wedding gowns since 1913, and unlike companies that have closed their doors, we're here for generations to come.
Do you preserve wedding accessories like veils and shoes?
We absolutely do! Our Traditional, Celebrity, and Restoration kits include complimentary preservation of up to 5 wedding accessories, such as your veil, garters, belts, sashes, gloves, or headpieces. Everything is cleaned, preserved, and beautifully displayed alongside your gown in the preservation chest with the same 100-year guarantee.
