Wedding gowns can be an expensive investment. For that reason, Rose Cleaners is aware of the special need for professional alterations before the wedding and safe storage after the event. That one garment holds a sentimental value as well as memorable moments of the special day. We will ensure your wedding gown is a perfect fit for that wonderful occasion as well as keeping it in pristine condition for years to come.
Alterations
Finding the perfect wedding gown can be a challenge. How it fits on your body makes a huge difference in how it will look on that wonderful day. The experienced alterations professional at Rose Cleaners will have the gown fitting your body perfectly from the bodice to the hem. You can rest assured that there will be no gaping seams or a too-long hem to spoil your walk down the aisle.
Most wedding gown fittings will require three visits to Rose Cleaners:
- The first fitting should be scheduled three months prior to the wedding date to discuss the alterations needed.
- The second fitting should be scheduled a month prior to the wedding to check your measurements.
- The third fitting will be scheduled one week before the wedding date when the final tweaks to the alterations will be done.
Dress Preservation & Cleaning
In the hustle and stress of the upcoming wedding day, how to store the wedding gown after the event is sometimes overlooked. It is important to preserve the dress in order to safeguard a beautiful piece of history. Whether it is saved for a sister to wear, or for a future daughter to consider wearing, or even just to enjoy the memories, the dress should be carefully taken care of.
Stains like alcohol and wedding cake tend to sink deeper in the fabric as time goes on. Letting Rose Cleaners professionally dry clean the dress to remove stains and preserve the beauty is a necessary action. Even without stains, the dress should be returned to its original condition with dry cleaning services. It is preferable to treat the dress within a few days after the wedding. Rose Cleaners experts have the tools and desire to provide the dress with a detailed inspection, stain removal, and storage in a preservative and acid-free box and tissues. Contact us at your closest San Antonio location to properly preserve your dress and its memories for years to come.
