Chicago's Premier Museum Quality Gown Cleaning, Restoration and Preservation Specialist!

Hand Finishing: Your gown is gently and completely hand ironed to perfection. This is the phase of the procedure where extreme care must be taken to follow the designer's line and drape. Their creative designs as well as their unique and beautiful laces, embroideries, appliques, pearls, beads, and sequins demand a degree of hand finishing that only truly dedicated artisans have the skill and knowledge to provide. At Davis Imperial Cleaners, we treat each gown with the same care we would lavish on our own family heirlooms.

Post Inspection: You may arrange to inspect your wedding gown before preservation is completed. Should you desire to view the preservation of your gown we will proudly accommodate your request.

MuseumCare™ Preservations Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection: Vacuum or plastic seals and other acidic materials damage gowns. Your finished gown is placed in a 100% acid free archival quality wedding chest. Our preservation specialist will wrap your gown in pre-washed bleached muslin beautifully detailed in lace and satin roses and personalized with your monogram. Our archival quality 100% acid free tissue paper is then placed in all the folds of your gown to buffer any potential wrinkles. Your Wedding Gown Specialist box is then closed, our gold international guarantee is placed on your wedding chest and then gently slipped into a Treasured Memories muslin sleeve. Attached to every preservation are 100% white cotton gloves. After our brides put on their gloves they are able to touch and see their gowns whenever they desire without damaging their dress. In fact, we advise our clients to open their wedding chest every year and let air circulate around their gown. This is of particular importance because natural fibers need to breath.
