The Gibson's team has specially-trained wedding gown restoration experts who will hand clean your wedding gown, reinforce its seams, and reattach any beads and other embellishments to the wedding dress where needed. Finally, we package your wedding gown in premium quality, acid-free wedding dress box that maintains colour and prevents yellowing to ensure it looks as white as it did on your wedding day.
