Frequently Asked Questions

Do you pick up wedding dresses anywhere in Cook County?

Yes. We provide free pickup and delivery throughout all of Cook County, from the Chicago city limits to the far south and northwest suburbs. Our own employee drivers handle every pickup — no third-party shipping.

How soon after my wedding should I have my dress cleaned?

We recommend within 1-2 months. Stains from wine, makeup, grass, and perspiration set deeper over time. Even invisible sugar stains from champagne will yellow if left untreated.

What is included in your wedding dress preservation?

Every preservation includes professional hand cleaning, stain removal, detailed inspection, wrapping in acid-free tissue, and sealing in a museum-quality pH-neutral preservation chest. We provide photos of your cleaned gown for approval before preservation.

How much does wedding dress cleaning and preservation cost?

Pricing depends on your gown’s fabric, embellishments, and condition. We provide fair, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Call (312) 313-7950 for a free quote.
