They did a beautiful job restoring my 30-year-old wedding dress so my daughter could wear it on her special day. The staff spent a lot of time going over every inch of the dress with me. It looks like the day I wore it. I would absolutely recommend them.

Who needs her gown steamed before her wedding day?
If you purchased your gown and had your alterations done at the same place, chances are they pressed or steamed the gown for you before you picked it up. Regardless of how you acquired your dress, ask your seamstress to be sure. In this case, you would not need your gown steamed again.
If you acquired your gown second-hand, this service may be for you.
If you need to travel with your dress before the wedding, you will want to steam and or press your dress at your destination before your wedding day. If you are traveling to the Detroit area, contact us about reserving a slot to steam your gown when you arrive.

Wedding Gown Pressing/Steaming FAQs
Is it possible to only have my gown pressed before the wedding?
Yes, absolutely. We offer professional steaming and pressing services to ensure your gown is wrinkle-free and aisle-ready. While we generally advise against a full deep-cleaning immediately before your wedding date, a professional press/steam is the perfect final step to ensure your gown looks its best for the big day.
How far in advance of my wedding should I drop off my gown for cleaning/pressing?
We recommend a standard lead time of three weeks, or a minimum of two weeks, to ensure your gown receives the meticulous care it deserves. Under special circumstances, we can accommodate a minimum of one week, but we encourage earlier drop-off to avoid scheduling issues.
What is the typical timeframe for the gown intake and drop-off process?
Our gown intake process, which includes a thorough inspection and documentation of your gown, typically takes about 30 minutes. The current costs for our different services are available on our official pricing page.
What is the cost for the Clean & Press/Steam service?
The approximate cost for our Clean & Steam service varies based on the gown’s material, length, and embellishments, and we provide a final quote upon intake. You can view an estimated cost range for all our gown services by visiting the pricing section of our website.
Can you address wrinkles from storing my gown after a previous cleaning?
If a gown has been worn or overly handled since its last deep cleaning, we recommend a full Clean & Steam service to prevent body oils from becoming permanent stains under the steam. If no wear or soiling has occurred, we can provide a pre-wedding steam to remove wrinkles from storage.
