CLEANING ADVICE
Whether you are planning to sell your dress or keep it forever, it is essential that you have it cleaned as soon as possible
after your wedding day and store it in a special way to prevent fading, damage and ageing!
Naturally, given our business of selling previously worn wedding dresses, we have seen various examples of dry cleaned gowns.
Some of these have been expertly cleaned, whilst others sadly have lost their shape, beading or colour.
It is alway so sad to advise a newly married bride that we are unable to offer her dress for sale after the cleaning process has ruined her dress.
With this mind, we would recommend that you use a specialist bridal gown cleaner
to ensure your dress is restored to pristine condition after your special day. It is probably the most expensive dress you will ever purchase so it is worth a few extra pounds to preserve it.
At Brides Dress Revisited, we are very fortunate to work closely with Terrington Burchett
who have over 50 years of experience in cleaning wedding dresses and are the only bridal gown cleaner to use
the specially formulated Baptiste Process (R) cleaning method. To find out more about Terrington Burchett click here.

On some occasions, whilst a dress may be offered to Brides Dress Revisited as ‘previously owned’ rather than ‘previously worn’, we may still deem it necessary to dry-clean the item in order to prepare it for sale. If so, we will discuss the costs involved and request prepayment from you prior to arranging for the item to be cleaned.
