Silk & Delicate Garments

Some garments need more than a standard clean.

Silk, delicate fabrics, vintage pieces, embellished garments and items without care labels can require individual assessment before treatment.

Rather than treating every garment in exactly the same way, we consider the fabric, construction and condition before deciding how to proceed.

Wedding Dress Care

For the dress
that means everything.

A wedding dress is unlike an everyday garment. Lace, silk, embroidery, beading, delicate trims and structured construction can all require careful consideration.

Whether your dress needs cleaning after the wedding or alterations before the big day, we're here to help.

A Note on Delicate Garments

Some garments need an honest conversation first.

Certain garments can be unpredictable, particularly where care instructions are missing, the fabric is extremely delicate, the garment is aged, or specialist embellishment and construction are involved.

Where additional risks exist, customers may need to acknowledge and accept the relevant treatment risks before treatment proceeds.
