This patent pending kit includes a water-resistant, truly acid-free box made without adhesives, dyes and harmful chemicals. The box is never sealed, so you may enjoy your gown whenever you wish. Cotton acid-free tissue paper wraps the layers of your gown and a triple washed cotton muslin liner enrobes the heirloomed dress as it is placed in the box. The final touch: Preserved Petals can monogram the cotton muslin box cover with your initials and wedding date.

Optimally, heirloomed textiles, even ones that have only the gentlest of folds, should be re-folded and inspected every few years. This prevents straining (and eventual permanent marking) of fibers on the fold lines. It also allows the owner to assess the garment.

The initial cleaning process is the same process used for the Traditional method of cleaning and preservation. The exclusive anti-sugar process will remove any sugar residue left in your gown after the careful pre-spotting and dry cleaning. This will eliminate any possibility of a caramelized sugar stain from forming. Wedding Gown Specialists hand clean and treat every gown with the anti-sugar process to remove latent stains. This stain treatment has been featured in Modern Bride and Bride's Magazines.
