Q: { just got married and
“2° would like to keep my
wedding dress locking yood.

e Bridal gowns are a big investment.
Selected and cared for propally, your
gown can be used by several generations.

Wedding gowns are often decorated with beads,
lace, and other trim. This may cause problems
during deaning. Many trims are glued rather than
sewn to the surface of the fabric, Sometimes the
trim will start to curl and pull away at the edges
during wear. Many adhensives are extremely solu-
ble in drycleaning solvent and drycleaning will
cause a complete loss and remo.al of trim.

After the Wedding: The gown should be ckan-
ed within a few days or weeks after the wedding.
Unattended spilled champagne or punch can
leave invisible stains that darken in time The
longer the stains or soils are left in the gown, the
Greater the probability of their becomming per-
tnanenily set.

The drycleaner olfers careful cleaning of wed-
ding gowns, but it takes cooperation between the
customer and the cleaner. You should point out
any spills of stains and these should be carefully
noted by the counter attendant,

Ask your drecleaner about his special preser-
vation and packaging service for the very best
