Wedding Dress Cleaning

Careful cleaning and preservation for the dress you'll only wear once.

Wedding dress cleaning in London for delicate, designer and vintage gowns. Whether it's the week before the wedding or years after, every dress is assessed first and cleaned by hand on our own premises, with specialist care for silk, lace, tulle, beading, sequins and embroidery. Preservation and collection & delivery across London are available too.

How We Handle It

Assessed thread by thread before any cleaning begins.

When a wedding dress arrives, it's examined in detail first — the fabric and lining, the boning and structure, the beading, lace, buttons and any trims, along with marks that are often invisible until they age, like champagne, make-up or perspiration around the hem and bodice.

From that assessment we decide how the gown should be cleaned rather than putting it through one fixed process. Delicate areas and embellishment are worked on by hand, the structure is supported throughout, and the dress is finished and pressed back to its original shape. Nothing is sent to an outside cleaner — your gown stays under one roof from the moment you hand it over until you collect it.

Detailed inspection

Fabric, structure, embellishment and hidden marks all checked before we begin.

Hand treatment

Beading, lace and stained areas are treated individually, never rushed through a line.

Finished & boxed

Pressed back to shape and, if you'd like it preserved, packed for long-term storage.

Shoes & Accessories

Bring the shoes in with the dress.

Bridal shoes pick up the same marks as the hem. We clean satin, lace and embellished shoes by hand alongside the gown.

Shoe Cleaning

Before & After the Day

Bring it in whenever it suits you.

Some brides have a gown cleaned and pressed just before the wedding; others bring it to us afterwards to have marks lifted and the dress preserved. Either way, the sooner a stain is treated the better the result — marks left to set for months or years are harder to remove.

If you're planning ahead, or you're unsure whether an older gown can be cleaned safely, get in touch and we'll talk it through honestly first. If the dress also needs taking in or adjusting for the fitting, we handle wedding dress alterations on the same premises.
