Real Stories, Real Transformations

Every dress has a story. Here’s how we’ve helped brides preserve their most precious
memories.

From Doorstep Collection
to Expert Care

From the moment your dress is collected, it goes through a careful process designed for delicate and valuable garments. 

Each dress is properly inspected, gently handled, and cleaned using methods suited to its fabric and detailing. The focus throughout is on safe handling, careful treatment, and a reliable service you can feel confident in.

Our Careful 6-Step Process

From collection to return, your dress is treated with the utmost care and attention at every stage.

01

Free Collection

Book online or call us. We’ll collect your dress from your home at a time that suits you — no need to travel.

We provide protective packaging to ensure your dress stays safe during transport.
02

Expert Inspection

Our specialist team carefully examines every inch of your dress, identifying each stain and determining the best treatment.

We’ll contact you if we find any issues or need to discuss special care requirements.
03

Gentle Cleaning Process

Using pH-balanced solutions and hand-finishing techniques, we treat each stain individually and restore your dress.

Every bead, sequin and lace panel is assessed and handled according to the dress construction.
04

Quality Check & Pressing

Your dress is professionally pressed, steamed and inspected again as part of our final quality check.

We take time to inspect the finish before arranging return.
05

Safe Return

Your beautifully restored dress is returned to you in a premium garment bag, ready to cherish forever.

Optional archival preservation box available for long-term storage.
06

Wedding Dress FAQs

How long does wedding dress cleaning take?

3–4 weeks from collection. If you need it back before then, tell us on WhatsApp 07494 223079.

How soon after the wedding should I send my dress?

As soon as you can. Champagne, sweat, perfume, makeup and grass can sit in the fabric even when you cannot see them, then yellow later. Older dresses are still welcome — we assess them first.

Will every stain come out?

We treat each mark carefully, but we cannot promise every stain will fully disappear. Age, fabric and how long a mark has been there all affect the result. After inspection we tell you what is realistic before cleaning starts.

What is the preservation box?

After cleaning, the dress can be packed in an archival box with acid-free tissue so it can be stored long-term. Do not keep a cleaned dress in a plastic bag in a loft or wardrobe — that can yellow and trap moisture. The box is £70, optional.

Can you clean vintage dresses or ones labelled “do not dry clean”?

Yes, we assess first. Some gowns need a gentler method than a standard dry-clean cycle. We only go ahead once you understand the quotation and the likely result.

What about beads, sequins and lace?

We inspect construction before cleaning. Sewn beadwork is handled differently from glued beads, which can be more fragile. If we see a risk, we contact you before we start.

Do you clean veils and underskirts?

Yes. Veil £25. Underskirt £65. Send a photo on WhatsApp 07494 223079.

How do I get the dress collected?

We collect within 30 miles of Farnham, including Guildford, Woking, Basingstoke, Reading, Camberley, Farnborough, Aldershot, Bracknell, Godalming, Haslemere and Fleet. Collection is free. Pack the dress loosely so the bodice is not crushed. If you are out, you can leave it with someone at the address — tell us when you book. Outside 30 miles, WhatsApp 07494 223079. We are based in Farnham; these are collection areas, not branches.

How much does it cost?

Simple gowns from £190. Beaded or heavily detailed gowns from £240. Veil £25. Underskirt £65. Both dress prices include free collection and return inside 30 miles. Final dress price is confirmed after we see the dress (or clear photos).

How can I pay?

Card, Apple Pay, bank transfer or cash. Most customers pay in advance. You can also pay when we deliver, if you prefer.
