In Business Since 1913 The Wedding Gown Preservation Company is a family owned business operating in Endicott, NY. Our modern lab and equipment preserve every gown with a special anti-sugar treatment developed by Joseph and Sara Schapiro, to prevent yellowing and discoloration and has been proven and recognized as the best method in gown preservations by the International Fabricare Institute. Over the past 80+ years, Wedding Gown Preservation Company has prided themselves on quality and care of the wedding gowns that we clean and preserve for our customers. Each gown is handled individually and given the utmost attention and care. Preservation Process We put the highest degree of professional care into the heirloom processing of your gown. First we examine your gown to find all spots. A detailed Quality Control Report is updated through each and every step. We use proven formulas to remove spots and treat the entire gown for sugar stains. Your gown is thoroughly cleaned with extra attention given to the neckline, trim and hemlines. Our experts shape the gown, position a full bust form and fill the sleeves. It is then wrapped in acid-free tissue (Celebrity Kit is wrapped in unbleached muslin), and fitted carefully into a preservation chest with an acid-free display window. The preservation chest is then enclosed in a 700 pound test shipping carton. Your gown is then shipped back to you pre-paid anywhere in the Continental United States via Fed Ex Ground. The preservation process will be completed in 2 to 6 weeks after we receive it. Please note: During the height of our busy season the preservation process may take slightly longer. Repairs or additional services requested may also extend the processing time.

Questions and Answers: Where can I purchase a Preservation Kit to send my gown to you? From any authorized dealer. I have already purchased my Preservation Kit. What is the next step? Fill out a form; package your gown using materials included in the kit and ship your gown to us at any UPS or Fed Ex authorized drop off location (pre-shipping included.) ** Please note when filling out your order form, keep in mind that an adult signature will be required when your gown is delivered back to you. This is to ensure the safety of your gown. Do I need to have my gown cleaned before sending it to your company? No, we handle all of the cleaning necessary to ensure a proper preservation. What exactly is the process that you use to clean my gown? Wedding Gown Preservation Company has several processes that are used in cleaning. Each gown is evaluated before cleaning and the best process for that particular gown is used. All of our processes are safe, gentle and done by hand. Your gown is then fitted on an acid free bust form, and placed in a acid-neutral preservation chest. Please note: We must remove shoulder pads and bust pads, as leaving them in the gown could cause damage over time. They are then packaged separately and shipped with the gown. What stains are removed with the process? We are able to remove approximately 95% of all stains. Those such as tar, blood, grass stains, mud, grease and food are the most common, and of course any sugar stains such as cake icing, wine or other types of beverages. Is my preservation chest vacuum-sealed? Can I open up the preservation chest any time in the future, and will that jeopardize or void the guarantee? Wedding Gown Preservation Company does not vacuum seal your preservation chest. Vacuum sealing traps in fumes and moisture, which leads to mold, mildew, and eventually, the deterioration of the fabric. Your guarantee will not be voided if you open the chest to inspect your gown; however, you should take care to use the gloves provided when handling your gown. We will enclose sealing squares to place inside the seams of the chest, to securely attach the top of your preservation chest after inspection. Removing the gown entirely from the chest, and wearing the gown, will void your guarantee. If your gown was handled excessively, or soiled, it should be cleaned and preserved again. What can be seen through the display window? You are able to see your gown and veil through the display window. Other items are positioned near the bottom of the window, where possible, or underneath the gown. What else can I send along with my gown? You may also send items such as your veil, headpiece, garter, gloves, money bag, handkerchief, slip, flower girl dress, etc., for an additional charge. Please refer to the order form inside the kit for pricing information. Please note: All items placed in the preservation chest with your gown must be cleaned by Wedding Gown Preservation Company. We do not place un-cleaned items in with your gown. Can I have my veil and or other accessories cleaned, but not placed with my gown? Yes, you may for an additional charge. Please refer to the order form inside the kit for pricing information. What kinds of repairs are done to the gown? Wedding Gown Preservation Company prides itself on having a large staff of tailors and seamstresses that handle most repairs for a nominal fee. If I want to declare additional value, what do I need to do? Simply enclose a check or money order (made payable to WGP Company) for $2.00/per $100 of additional declared value. We also accept Visa and Master Card. How can I be sure you’ve received my gown for preservation? For the quickest response, please visit the tracking page of the website. You will need your serial number (located in the upper right hand corner of your paper work.) If you provided your email address on your order form, you will be notified electronically when it has been received, as well as when it has been shipped back to you.
