Often a wedding gown will come into Parkers Cleaners for cleaning and/or preservation that has beading or sequins that have been glued on, and every situation and wedding gown is different. In some cases, we are able to remove and then re-stitch the trims.

Sarah’s wedding gown had flowers attached to the front of her dress, and while the flowers were stitched on to her dress, the beading inside the flowers had been glued on.  Sarah’s wedding gown needed to be cleaned. There was an ink stain on the side and dirt on the hems.

We contacted Sarah for permission to remove the flowers from her wedding dress, so that her gown could be cleaned without possible damage to the beading.

Sarah approved and the flowers were removed, her wedding dress cleaned, and then the flowers were re-sewn. Can you see any difference?
