Four decades of garment care
Embellished gowns need more than a standard clean
Prom and evening dresses are covered in the things that make them special — beading, sequins, delicate embellishment — and the things a big night leaves behind: makeup, fake tan, drink, and grass at the hem. Standard dry cleaning struggles with both.
We clean embellished gowns using fabric- and construction-appropriate specialist methods. Where suitable, targeted ultrasonic treatment may be used locally around particular stains, beading or embellishment; it is not the overall cleaning process. We aim for the best safe improvement while respecting delicate fabrics, construction and attachments. Delicate chiffon, tulle and silk are handled carefully, then pressed and finished so the dress is ready for its next outing — or to keep.
Pack your dress securely in a suitable box using our packing guidance. Send it from a DPD Pickup shop free of charge, choose optional DPD collection from your address for £15, or drop it at our Altrincham studio. Tracked return is included.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. We use specialist cleaning methods for beaded and sequinned dresses, with careful handling around delicate embellishment. Results depend on the fabric, construction, condition and previous treatment, and we aim for the best safe improvement.
We assess the embellishment and construction before cleaning and use the gentlest appropriate process. Because beads, sequins and attachments can already be fragile or weakened, no cleaning process can guarantee that nothing will loosen. If we identify a particular risk, we’ll contact you before proceeding.
We regularly treat fake tan, makeup, drink and similar event stains. Results depend on the stain, fabric, age and previous treatment, so complete removal cannot be guaranteed. We aim for the best safe improvement and will be honest about what is achievable.
Yes. We assess the fabric and construction first and choose an appropriate process for delicate chiffon, tulle, silk and satin, aiming for the best safe improvement without using treatment we consider too aggressive.
