3. Arrival at Our Facility
After your gown has arrived at the preservation facility, it will go through our detailed reception process. First, your gown will be registered in our smart tracking system so that you can be there for every step of the preservation process. After that, your dress will be hung on a custom rack imported from Germany, ideal for ensuring perfect preservation.
Once we have received your gown at our state-of-the-art facility, we make sure that it's treated with the utmost care. Our team is trained to handle your gown as if it were a museum grade garment.Upon unboxing your gown, it will be given a unique identification number. This will number will beentered into our GownTrackerâ„¢system, which allows you to keep tabs on your dress 24/7 and know where in the preservation process it is. This number also helps our team ensure that your gown is given the right treatment and the most careful care.
Thorough Stain and Fabric Examination
After your wedding gown receives its unique identification number, a fabric expert will begin the meticulous examination process. During this inspection they will identify any stains, tears, loose threads, or missing adornments. UV technology will be used to ensure that even the smallest stains are accounted for. Additional information such as tears, fabric wear, loose adornments, and other details will be noted in a detailed report given to our gown cleaning team and addressed later in the process.
State of the Art Racking System
An important part of the wedding dress preservation process is maintaining the precise humidity and temperatures during the drying phase. In order to do this, we imported a custom built racking system from Germany to fit the exact needs of our facility.
