Wedding Dress Preservation

Doylestown is the county seat of Bucks County and the town Signature Cleaners has called home for more than 20 years. Our store at 1456 Ferry Rd, Unit 100, just off Route 611, is where every wedding gown we preserve is cleaned, inspected and boxed. Nothing leaves town. For Doylestown brides that means the people who handle your dress are the people you can talk to, on the phone or across the counter, from the first quote to the day you pick up the box.

Getting Your Gown to Us From Doylestown

Most Doylestown brides simply bring the gown to the store. If the dress is bulky, the car is full, or the week is, schedule a free pickup online or call (215) 345-1470 and we will collect it from your home or office anywhere in the borough or the township. Keep the gown out of plastic and out of the sun until then, and send the veil and any accessories along with it.

What Happens to Your Gown

Before anything else, we inspect the whole dress: fabric, construction, beading, lace and every stain we can see or suspect, and we give you a quote and a timeline before work begins. The gown is then cleaned by hand with eco-friendly solvents matched to the fabric, stains are treated one by one (including the sugar, perspiration and body-oil marks that dry clear and yellow later), and the dress is finished by hand and inspected a second time. It is packed with acid-free tissue and archival-grade materials, in a display box with a viewing window, so it is protected from light and moisture for decades. Read the process step by step.

Cleaning and Preservation From $325

Cleaning and preservation together starts at $325. The exact price depends on the fabric, the construction, the amount of beading or lace and how much stain work the gown needs, and you get the quote before we touch it. Pickup and delivery are free, so the price is the same whether we collect the dress in Doylestown or you bring it in. Keeping the gown? Preserve it. Wearing or selling it soon? Cleaning alone may do. Our guide to cleaning vs preservation helps you choose.

The Rest of the Wedding Party

Mother-of-the-bride dresses, bridesmaid gowns, flower girl dresses and veils get the same careful cleaning, and suits and tuxedos come along on the same pickup. If anything needs to fit better for the next event, our tailors handle alterations from $24.99.
