Your gown’s next chapter starts here.
Expert wedding dress cleaning and preservation in Oregon, handled with couture-level care and museum-quality techniques.
What We Do
At White Glove Gown Care, we take the stress and guesswork out of caring for your wedding dress — before and after the big day. Every gown receives couture-level attention using professional, fabric-specific methods and long-term preservation standards trusted by museums and textile conservators.
Our Services
-
If your dress needs a light clean or professional steaming before the wedding, we offer a pre-wedding refresh to brighten the fabric, lift minor marks, and smooth out wrinkles.
Ideal for: destination weddings, secondhand gowns, or dresses stored for several months. -
Our bridal-specific cleaning process safely removes sweat, dirt, makeup, oils, and hem debris using fabric-conscious techniques. Every gown is evaluated individually so the cleaning method matches its fibers, construction, and embellishments.
Includes: full inspection, spot treatment, hand cleaning, steam finishing, and post-clean quality check. -
After your gown is professionally cleaned and steam-finished, it’s packed by hand into an archival, acid-free preservation box designed for long-term storage. We fold your gown using museum-style techniques to reduce stress on seams and fabrics, helping it stay beautiful for decades.
Ideal for: long-term storage, post-wedding keepsakes, or gifting to future generations. -
Yellowing, age spots, oxidation, and storage damage are treated with gentle, conservation-forward methods that protect delicate or historic fabrics. Every vintage gown undergoes a custom assessment to determine the safest restoration approach.
Perfect for: family gowns, secondhand finds, or dresses being redesigned or preserved as a legacy piece.
