Your Wedding: Make that Special Day Truly Unforgettable

We pack your dress in a completely archival, and acid-free, textile storage bag. A chemically inert polymer, it is non-absorbent, pre-treated to provide complete moisture protection, and resists fluctuations in relative humidity – environmental variants that can cause permanent damage to fabric and non-woven dress components such as metal closures and trimmings. The dress is taken to the cleanroom (dust and contaminant-free environment) where it is packed together with garment preservatives and an internal environment monitor and then hermetically sealed. The sealed package is then laid in an archival box to protect the gown against excessive light and the bag against accidental punctures.

For brides who prefer a more compact packaging option because of storage limitations, we accommodate these requests through the removal of the bodice mold and replacement of the box with our proprietary weather-proof, tear-proof, and UV-protective paper. Service charges remain the same.

Postscript:

While standard museum storage materials are suitable for dry weather, it simply will not do under Asia’s very humid, and polluted metropolitan climates. Our research has shown that even acid-free storage materials, when stored outside a cleanroom, develop mold and fungus, because they are permeable to humidity in the surrounding air. Our technical partner in the US has developed a system of packaging which effectively creates a climate-controlled microenvironment for the garment. Our proprietary Internal Environment Monitor ™ visible from outside the bag gives you a real-time reading of the conditions inside the package. Each preserved gown comes with its own Internal Environment Monitor ™.
