How A Gown Moves Through Lady Galloway Gowns.
One dedicated consultant ensures expert, consistent care from the first fitting through final preservation.
Consultation
A first conversation is arranged by appointment, in person or by telephone. The gown, the date, and your expectations are confirmed before any work is scheduled.
Inspection and Intake
Upon arrival, the gown is carefully inspected, with its fabric, construction, layers, beading, and any prior cleaning noted before the Wedding Gown Services Form is signed.
Alteration and Finishing
Alterations are guided by the gown's original construction and thoughtfully timed around the bride's wedding day.
Private Viewing
Before preservation, the bride is invited for a private viewing to see her gown one final time and review every detail before it is carefully preserved.
Preservation and Keepsake
The gown is wrapped in acid-free muslin, set into the archival box, and closed. It is returned to you with a keepsake of the work enclosed.

What Brides Have Said.
Reflections from the Brides We've Served
I took my daughter's wedding dress to dry clean and preserve. Marion provided every detail of the process, and they followed through exactly as she told us. Extremely professional. An amazing service in our community.
Wendy P., March 2022I got my wedding dress fitted with Mary and her expert team at Sir Galloway. They were attentive and on top of the process from start to finish. Their attention to detail and willingness to get the dress just right made them a beautiful addition to the wedding process. I'll forever be grateful for their work!
Charlotte Kaplan, June 2, 2026For my wedding weekend, I wanted to wear my mom's wedding dress from 46 years ago. The team at Lady Galloway Gowns brought it back to life. It looked absolutely beautiful and exceeded all my expectations. Being able to wear her gown became one of our most meaningful memories.

Common Questions.
For alterations, we recommend beginning three months before the wedding, with additional time for more intricate work. For preservation, within a few weeks of the wedding is ideal, while stains are still fresh and the fabric is most responsive to treatment.
