There are literally hundreds of service providers who “clean and box” bridal gowns. What makes Museum Quality Gowncare different?
The restoration, hand cleaning, hand finishing and archival preservation of a bridal gown is a scientifically informed discipline. Guided by a growing body of published scientific research on the chemical processes by which all textiles, including bridal gowns, deteriorate over time. Our name — Museum Quality Gowncare – derives from the fact that all the techniques, processes and packaging materials we use is a careful synthesis of • This published scientific research, • The practical application of this scientific research by museum textile conservators throughout the world, and • The sensitivity, knowledge, skill and experience derived from cleaning and finishing tens of thousands of designer, high fashion, specialty and couture garments and gowns over the years. Our reputation for technical excellence has been built on obsessive attention to every detail. It is this attention to detail that distinguishes our gowncare services from the “cleaning and boxing” or “heirlooming” services
