Christening Gowns,
Flower Girl and Communion Dresses, Communion and Ring Bearer Suits: Preserve
Your Family Tradition
Whether your family's christening gown is a treasured
nineteenth-century heirloom, a handmade silk coat and gown from the 1940s, or
the christening gown you yourself wore as a child, we can remove the yellow
stains and discoloration with our careful handcleaning and restoration
process.
Your
antique or vintage christening dress, flower girl dress, or communion dress
will be restored and pressed by hand so that your family's gown looks as fresh
and new as your new baby, as bright and beautiful as your children! And there
are no harmful chemicals to irritate the delicate skin of your baby or young
child.
You can trust our
Certified Wedding Gown Specialists™ to give very special care to your very
special family gown. We specialize in restoring your antique and vintage
christening gowns, communion dresses and suits, and flower girl dresses to the
true color without damage to delicate fabrics or dyes. We can remove stains and
discolorations that ordinary drycleaners cannot.
Restoration,
Cleaning, and Preservation: Your Family Tradition
Careful cleaning is
essential to prolonging the life of all your ceremonial children's clothing.
After your christening or other special occasion, our Specialist will handclean
and store your family's vintage gown or suit in acid-free paper in an
archival-quality, acid-free container that is just the right size for your
christening gown.
If you are beginning a
new tradition in your family with a christening gown, flower girl
dress, communion dress, or suit selected especially for your child, choose a
Specialist to clean it. Our Specialists understand that spills containing
sugar, salt and acid will dry clear and cannot be seen when the stains are
fresh. These latent stains do not dissolve during ordinary drycleaning and turn
an ugly brown over time.
Be sure to have your
special little gown or suit cleaned and preserved the right way so that it is
not disfigured by ugly stains and oxidation. Let our Specialist make sure it is
ready for the next baby in the family---guaranteed! And if you move to a new
home before the next baby, there's no need to worry. Each of us guarantees the
work of every other Specialist in our Association of Wedding Gown Specialists.

Then when it is time
for your family gown to be worn again, any one of our Specialists will take the
gown out of the museum-quality container and press it at no charge. When you
choose a Specialist to care for your very special gown, you can be sure your
family's gown will be ready for the next baby in your family.

Youngsters in the Family
Whether it's something
handmade for your boy or girl, a special costume from a couture designer, or
just your favorite outfit from Toys R Us, we know how to clean each precious
garment so that it will be ready for the next child. Special decorations such
as flowers or metallic accents will be carefully protected from harm during the
cleaning process. Ask about how you can safely store your special photographs

Flower Girls, Ring
Bearers, and Junior Bridesmaids: The Charmers at Every Wedding
Our Specialists take
the same precautions with your miniature gowns and suits that we would with a
grown-up wedding gown. You spent a lot of time choosing colors and fabrics to
look just right with your wedding gown, now choose the care just right for
these charming little dresses and suits.
Storage of Your
Christening Dresses, Flower Girl and Communion Dresses, Communion and Ring
Bearer Suits
Our archival-quality
chests offer the best protection for your precious garments. Our chests will
protect your children's clothing from accidental damage such as crushing or
cuts from sharp objects. There are reports of gowns stored in these chests that
have survived a fire; the container was seared and scorched, but the contents
were safe.
Our museum-quality
chests are completely acid-free with an acid-free polyethylene window, and we
use only completely acid-free tissue to pad the folds of your special clothing.
Our special containers will protect your heirloom fabrics from light, moisture,
dust, and dirt.
Do remember never to
store your heirloom clothing where there are extreme changes in heat and
humidity: do not keep your preserved heirlooms in the attic which is too hot or
in the basement, which is too damp.
