Frequently asked questions

Once you have placed your order, we will contact you within 2 working days to arrange a suitable time for the collection of your dress.

Even if your dress does not appear to be dirty or stained, it is still important to have it cleaned. Often, invisible marks, especially from drink spills can progressively darken and become more visible over time. Other stains can become permanently ‘set’ and engrained if left untreated and impossible to remove at a later stage. Your dress is a investment – having it professionally cleaned at the earliest opportunity, will ensure it is properly sanitised and ready to be properly stored for a lifetime.

Our beautiful hand made boxes are made from specially milled pH neutral board, which means they do not contain acid or alkali. Most items around us, such as wood, cardboard of a normal box, dyes in fabrics, all contain acid. If a wedding dress is in contact with such items, the acid will affect the fabric and cause “yellowing” or discolouration to appear after several years. Unlike plastic covers The Wedding Dress Box allows the fabrics of the dress to breathe. Plastic covers can have a harmful effect on your dress over a long period of time.

We would love to say yes but unfortunately the answer is no. We suggest you be very wary of any company who proclaims to do so. Wedding dresses are often created from very delicate fabrics which can easily bruised or loose their colour when subjected to excessive stain treatment and agitation. We can only guarantee that we will do our absolute best to ensure we achieve the best and optimum result for you, which in most cases is a totally clean and stain – free dress.
