Professional service which includes repairs, alterations,dry cleaning as well as packing and preservation of your wedding gown. Bridesmaids dresses

Many people make the mistake of just leaving their wedding dress once their wedding day is over. To avoid permanent staining it is important to have your dress professionally dry cleaned as soon as possible after your wedding.

Also, to maintain the beauty of the delicate fabric we recommend that your dress is expertly packed for preservation and storage.

We are experienced in stain removal, and the packing and preservation of delicate dresses as well as antique textiles. We use only the best products and have a wide range of beautiful storage boxes for you to choose from. These are not just for wedding dresses – we also have accessory boxes for shoes, tiaras, headdresses etc as well as bridesmaid dress boxes and christening dress boxes.

A free collection and delivery service is available for customers in Reading, or you can visit our shop which is easy to find and has ample parking.
