I live in the Inland Empire and was looking to preserve my wedding dress, but I did not want to travel to LA or ship my dress to an online service. I was so happy to have found Kirstine's service! Her office is located off the 91 Freeway in Corona, which is very close to me. She reassured me that all cleaning is done in-house and locally, and that my dress would not be shipped out for cleaning. I really appreciated how thoroughly she explained the cleaning and preservation process. I could tell she is very knowledgeable and passionate about the preservation of dresses. My wedding dress was a little more old-fashioned, with long sleeves and a lot of tulle fabric to make it "puffy." She knew the best way to not only clean it, but also preserve it. She did this by making alterations to my dress such as recommending to remove any extra fabric that will help the preservation process (which I was 100% on board with). She was also able to clean the heavy makeup stains and dirt that my dress went through during my wedding day. The whole process in total took about 5 months, from sending my inquiry online to picking up my dress. Due to her knowledge and experience, she had previously informed me of the timeframe and the reasoning behind it and I agreed. The pricing was fair as the size of my dress was very large and it needed a lot of care. The box that the dress is preserved in is very sturdy and I love that she had a wide selection of colors, fonts, and designs to customize the design of my box. She was very communicative throughout the process and is overall really easygoing and nice! I sincerely suggest anyone out there in the Inland Empire that is interested in wedding dress preservation to please consider Kirstine and to reach out to her!! read more

My daughter's wedding dress is all tulle and it took a beating on wedding day. Gown Preservation did a fabulous job bringing it back to its glory. The dress had sunless tan stains, makeup and sooo much dirt from an outdoor wedding to a tile dance floor to after party bar hop. Kirstine worked meticulously to remove all the stains and made minor tear repair in the tulle. And the final preservation packaging is lovely with detailed instructions on how to care for the dress for the long term. This is not a cheap endeavor but I researched all the best preservation processes and this museum quality approach is highly recommended for a gown you are looking to keep as an heirloom. Given the delicacy of the material of my daughter's gown I thought it was worth it. Especially the intricate and careful cleaning of the gown. Highly recommended. Posted are before and after of the cleaning and the packaging. read more

So thankful I found the gown preservation specialist!

Also if I do wear her again I can take her back and just pay the cleaning fee and she is good to go in the beautiful box again! :) Thank you!!!! read more

If you are lucky enough to work with Kirstine at Gown Preservation Specialist, you will quickly realize you are in the hands of someone who treats wedding gowns like heirlooms in the making. From the very first message, her responsiveness was remarkable. Every question was answered with clarity and warmth, every detail explained step by step so I always felt confident about what was happening to my dress. She did not just preserve a gown, she guided me through the entire process with patience and precision. Her communication before, during, and after preservation was consistent and reassuring. I never felt like just another order. Kirstine's flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule made everything feel effortless. What truly sets her apart is her attention to detail. She approaches preservation with the focus of a conservator and the care of someone who understands the emotional weight stitched into every seam. If you are looking for someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care, Kirstine is simply exceptional. read more

Kirstine was incredibly sweet, and the entire process was easy and comfortable from start to finish. I honestly didn't know what to expect when it came to wedding dress preservation, but after doing a lot of research, I knew I wanted high-quality care--and Kirstine delivered just that. I specifically didn't want a window-cut box as I've seen a lot of other places do, it didn't make sense to me in terms of true preservation--especially with concerns like exposure to light and potential oxidation. Kirstine understood my concerns and was very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining the entire process. She let me know it would take about 10-14 weeks for my dress to be cleaned and prepped before I could take it back home. She also gave clear and helpful instructions on how to store it properly and what to avoid to keep it in perfect condition. If you care about your wedding dress as much as I do and want amazing preservation, I highly recommend working with Kirstine. This dress is deeply sentimental to me--it took me so long to find the perfect one--so finding someone I could trust to preserve it properly meant everything. I'm so grateful I found Kirstine. read more

For Christmas I wanted to preserve my mother's wedding dress for her and spent a lot of time researching before settling on Gown Preservation Specialists. The entire process at Gown Preservation Specialists was flawless and I knew immediately I'd made the right choice. From the beginning, the owner Kirstine was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, walked us through the entire process, and answered every question my mom and I had. My mother also brought my grandmother's dress, a very old garment from the 40's to see if that could be preserved as well and Kirstine accepted the challenge without skipping a beat. We were never anything but confident in her. The timeline from when the gowns were dropped off to when we picked them both up was about 5 months or so. Kirstine checked in to give updates or get approval for colors and stitching for the exterior covering. When we picked up the gowns Kirstine was completely professional, giving us clear instructions on how to care for them in the future and answering any questions we had. She even sent a follow up text with instructions which was very helpful. The cases themselves are sturdy and the covering is elegant. There are a wide range of colors and fonts to choose from so you can customize it how you like. The quality is top notch and blends protection and preservation with an elegant presentation. Working with Gown Preservation Specialists was an excellent experience. My mother and I felt confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to preserve their wedding dress. read more

I waited a little over a year to get my dress preserved because I wanted to rewear it for my anniversary. I had it dry cleaned once after I got married. I did not notice there was a small stain on the abdomen area & Kirstine noticed it first thing. I honestly was freaking out a little but Kirstine reassured me it can be remove. Thank god.. Kirstine is literally THE SWEETEST being. She takes pride in her work. She goes above & beyond with her customer service. She took the time explaining the process that left me feeling confident leaving my dress in her care. Very knowledgable. Fast response. She really shows her dedication and care for the dresses coming in. The finish product of my dress in the box with the muslin cotton cover & embroidered - I love it. The price is right & well worth for your dress to get it preserved by her. I highly recommend!! read more

Amazing from start to finish. My dress had the time of its life at the wedding and my puppy even decided to mark it to join in. Not only was the dress immaculate (outside of tears that she has no control of) she took photos of before and after, showing how much work and care she took, and delivered everything as she had promised. Great communication and work. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing service! I was looking for a place that would help with both dry cleaning my dress and with preserving it and Gown Preservation Specialists delivered beyond expectations. As a daughter from a family that has never had the means or access to keep and preserve wedding garments (and one of the first to honestly have a wedding dress, period!), it was very important to me to use a service that would be careful in the preservation process. My dress was not expensive or designer, but it is still very special to me all the same, and Kirstine made sure to treat it that way! She was so helpful and sweet with the process, and they were able to do an excellent job not only cleaning the dress (which was VERY filthy and had a few stains, AND I let it sit in my closet for a couple months after the wedding), but they also took care with the glitter and lace details, and then boxed it up in a beautiful monogrammed box. This service is well worth the price if you are looking for a place that will take extra special care of your dress and treat it with the TLC it deserves! Thank you sooo much to Kirstine and her team! :) read more

I went to Kirstine to restore my wedding gown almost two years after my wedding. I just hadn't gotten around to it and didn't see what the big deal was. But now I'm glad I went because when I went to the consultation and took my dress out for the first time since the wedding, I was shocked to find a huge brown stain on the skirt! According to Kirstine, a lot of stains may not be immediately noticeable, but they oxidize over time. She took care of all of that. She even went out of her way to contact the dress designer to ask if the appliques on the dress were stained or if they were supposed to be a taupe color (they were supposed to be)! When I got the dress back, I was given lots of care instructions to make sure I keep it safe. I'm very glad I did this and am happy with my experience. read more

Part II: The PICK-UP! My gown was set to be picked up within roughly 10-12 weeks, but I was in shock when I received the email that she was ready within 5 weeks! It was due to no personalization on the outer box. My dress was beautifully folded into the box, which robin had educated me on how to take care of her (the gown) throughout the years. A pair of white gloves was given to handle the gown with care, so that was a plus. It was totally worth the $$ and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else, thank you Robin and Matti, you guys make a fantastic duo! read more

Had an absolutely awesome experience with Kirstine! She is super knowledgeable, explained everything to me clearly, and most importantly I felt very confident in her when I left my beautiful wedding dress in her care. She responds quickly and her love of wedding dresses and caring for their delicate nature shines through in every interaction with her. I am super happy with my dress preservation. I feel knowledgeable in how to maintain my preserved box which also makes me feel good. It's an added bonus that you meet with a real person with Gown Preservation Specialists, your not just recent items in the mail to "do it yourself" so to speak. Go with this business! read more

I just received my wedding dress and veil from Robin this past weekend -- all professionally cleaned and neatly preserved in a special box. I had the outer box personalized and embroidered with the first initials of my name and my husbands name along with the date of our wedding -- and I got to choose the color dusty pink, which was one of the colors in my wedding. I got married towards the end of 2021 in November, and my wedding dress was collecting dust in my closet on a hanger for over a year before I decided to bring it to Robin. I knew I wanted to keep my wedding dress and my veil as an heirloom, and had wanted to get it professionally cleaned and stored safely to avoid any discoloration or damage. I did some research and eventually found Gown Preservation Specialists - which I'm glad I did. It was easy to set up a first initial appointment online on their website, and Robin was knowledgeable as she went over all the details of the process of how they clean and preserve the dress properly. I also liked the idea that I can open the box anytime if I wanted to see my dress with the gloves they provided in the box. She also informed me that I should expect for it to take approximately 12-14 weeks for the whole process. Once it was ready, I was able to make an appointment with Robin via text to pick up my dress, but there was a double booking. Robin was sincerely apologetic of the mistake and personally delivered my dress and veil to me the next day on a Sunday (which I think may have been her day off). Overall, I had a great experience with Robin and glad I went with Gown Preservation Specialists to preserve my dress. Highly recommended. read more

I'm so glad I found Kirstine at Gown Preservation Specialists! After doing a lot of research on the options for gown cleaning, I was pretty unimpressed at how many places will preserve your gown in a way that is wrapped in sealed plastic and inaccessible to view. I wanted to know that I could see the cleaning had been properly done, and that the box my dress was stored in wouldn't decompose or damage the fabric over time. It's well worth the investment to go with this team to get it done right! read more

Our wedding was over 8 years ago and my wife's dress has just been hanging in the closet being exposed to the elements. She recently pulled out the dress from the closet and noticed some yellowing in some places as well as stains from our wedding night! Of course she started to freak out and said we should get it cleaned and preserved so our daughter can wear it one day for her wedding. I asked some friends and family if they had any recommendations for a solid preservation company and Gown Preservation Specialists came highly recommended. We made an appointment and met with Kirstine. She was very thorough and went above and beyond in answering our questions. My wife loved how responsive Kirstine was when we would text or call her. When we got her dress back, we were very satisfied with how clean it was. All together this was a very good experience for us. Highly recommended!!!! read more

I initially contacted another company located in Texas, and the price was a bit out of my budget. After my Grandpa passed away, I knew I needed to fulfill my promise to my Grandpa to have my grandmother's dress cleaned and preserved. I contacted Robin and she was very friendly, and scheduled a consult for her to see the dress. She assured me that they would not clean the dress if there was a small chance that it would damage the dress. Also,the price was very reasonable and much lower than the other company's estimate. She was very knowledgeable and explained the process. I felt very comfortable leaving the dress with her. After a long wait (to no fault of theirs), I received the dress and I was amazed at how much brighter the dress looked, and how they were able to clean most of the stains. I had requested to view the dress prior to it being wrapped in material that would prevent any discoloration or damage to the dress. I'm very happy with how it came out and with Robin and her team's expertise. I'm sure my Grandpa would be very happy with how the dress turned out. I highly recommend using their services. read more

So happy I found, and preserved my wedding dress through this company! I waited 2 years after my wedding because my dress was SO bad I thought there was no hope. I got married on the beach and spent the night dancing at a downtown bar so my dress was DIRTY, and broken. I was surprised to see how clean and beautiful they were able to get it. My dress is preserved beautifully. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Robin. I got exactly what I wanted -- a safe, proven way to preserve my wedding gown. Services from start to finish to take several weeks -- so be prepared for that. She is very easy to get a hold of and work with. And, her customer service is second to none! When it came time for me to get my gown, we coordinated via text. Because her business hours ended before my work hours did, we arranged for a place to meet. Who does this!!?? I was / am ever so appreciative for her lovingly rendered work. I highly recommend her services!! read more

Kirstine is so great at what she does-- she is communicative, thorough, and friendly. She explained the process of gown preservation and what to expect, and gave updates throughout. I'm so happy that my wedding dress will remain preserved for many years to come!

It had been over 2 years since our wedding and I was worried I would never preserve my precious gown. I got a great deal on it so I could not fathom spending thousands (the price of other preservationists) to keep it looking nice. Other places were massively expensive and made me want to consider doing a "wreck your dress" photo shoot. I am so glad I didn't because soon enough I found Gown Preservation Specialists and all that changed! Not only was I directed to an affordable, gown cleaning specialist, but the boxed, finished product of my dress is neatly and beautifully placed in its clean, well-wrapped box! Ps. Did you know that muslin cotton material keeps the bugs away?! You learn something new every day! read more

I knew about Gown Preservation Specialists from Arlet Bridal, the bridal shop where I bought my wedding gown. It was very easy to set an appointment online, and Robin was very communicative about the scheduling of our appointment. Her beautiful office is at Tailored Space at Corona and this is where I met her for the consultation of my wedding dress. Everything was a breeze and very straightforward. Her consultation is free and she will breakdown the price of every garment you brought to be included in the price. The process of preserving takes 16 weeks. The embroidery on cover of the box can be personalized in a lot of ways. Robin has a friend from Canada who does this and I really love how it turned out. Robin will send you a photo of what the embroidery will look like before finalizing. Once you pick up your dress, Robin will go through how you will take care of your dress and she will show you how to actually do it. This time, you will see your dress again which is quite a special moment seeing it sitting pretty inside the box Robin, thank you again for taking care of my dress and helping so many ladies preserve their future heirlooms read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Robin! From the moment I found Gown Preservation Specialists online, I knew I had to have my gown preserved from her! Robin offers museum quality gown preservation, which is truly hard to find! From the day you meet with Robin, she thoroughly goes over the whole cleaning process with you, how long it will take, and she adds such a special touch by having your box cover personally monogramed. She also stays in touch with you through text during the whole process which feels so personal, and she also shows you the mock up of your monogram to make sure it's exactly how you imagined! The whole process takes up to about 16 weeks, but it is well worth the wait to have your wedding gown as good as new! My wedding dress went through grass, dirt, drinks getting spilled on the dance floor, and even mud from rain at the end of the night, and my dress looks as stunning as it did when I first purchased her! Thank you so much Robin for your quality museum preservation! read more

I'm so happy that I went to Robin to professionally have my wedding dress cleaned and preserved after my wedding in July. It was in Maui on the beach, and pictures also taken in the forest and cliffs, so my poor dress was so dirty and I was worried about it being ruined. But Robin exceeded my expectations and did an incredible job to restore my dress back to its original beauty!!! She is so knowledgeable and really explained the whole process to me, plus how to care for the dress today when I picked it up. I love that it comes in a beautiful monogrammed storage box too! I have already given so many of my girlfriends Robin's info so they can get their dresses done now. This was the best money spent and I highly recommend going here! read more

Robin was great to work with and provided quality preservation services for my late wife's gown. I loved the small details. Thank you Robin

It had been a year since my wife and I got married and she had always talked about getting her wedding dress preserved, but she never went out of her way to do it. I'd decided to make it part of our one year anniversary present. Kirstine has been very pleasant to work with and very easy to communicate with at the Corona lo. She explained the intricate process on how they clean and preserve the dress, while leaving room for questions or concerns on our part. She was straightforward with pricing and didn't try to up sell us on a bigger box or box designs. She was very flexible as I had forgotten to bring the veil to the first appointment and allowed me to drop it off to the front desk while she was away from the office on a later date. We're excited to see the final product and will update the review then. read more

My first impression was, "Gown preservation done right is rare to find so I was excited to find Robin's business backed up with a ton of great reviews!" I had no idea what to do with my wedding dress which is really an investment, but also a special memory and heirloom. I didn't want to donate or sell the dress, and I've seen many of my friends hang their wedding dress for years without proper preservation in their closet which led to deterioration and discoloration. Robin was great from consultation, pickup, and servicing, to drop-off and walking through all the ways to take care of my wedding dress. Communication with her was easy, prompt and very clear on the process. My dress was picked up by Robin and went through a detailed cleaning - even with my long train getting stained from the wedding day. After all proper dry cleaning, the dress went through proper packaging with the correct preservation materials. The packaging and the personalized monogram was detailed to match my wedding colors, and Robin sent proofs in advance to make sure it was perfect! Thank you Robin for your background experience, customer service, and knowledge as the guide to take care of my wedding dress! The lasting impression? "The quality and care is worth the money to preserve your wedding orders properly, and I was very happy with Robin's services. I look forward to keeping my wedding dress for many years to come & revisiting the memories that come with our special wedding day!" read more

Robin is simply amazing! I had tried having my wedding dress preserved by an alterations company that I had already used for my wedding dress. Big mistake. It was a nightmare with them. They overcharged me for the cleaning without the preserving portion factored in and I was waiting months for them to get the box for the preserving---with no updates. So I started looking around for another preservation company and I found Gown Preservation Specialists. Robin listened to my story and walked me through retrieving my dress from the alterations company and being done with them. She took on the preservation of my dress and graciously gave me a discount as I had overpaid with the alterations company for the cleaning and she did not want me to continue to have a bad experience. She preserved my dress and delivered it to me in record time. While I have not opened up the box, I know I can count on her having done an amazing job. She truly helped me out during a stressful time and gave me the best gift. I'm truly grateful and recommend her services to anyone who wants a quality and thoughtful service. Thank you so much, Robin! read more

Robin is awesome! I just got my gown back today and it's so beautifully packaged. Robin has been so great to work with and so flexible with my crazy schedule. She also had an amazing idea, to use the font from my save the date (which I loved!) on the monogram for the dress box cover. She knows so much about dress preservation, I know my dress was in great hands. I can't wait to enjoy it for years to come. One of my favorite things about this service is you can (and should!) take the dress out every couple of years. Other gown preservation services (for example, at the local dry cleaners) do not allow for removal of the dress. Thank you Robin! read more

Hi, Do you steam wedding dresses before weddings? I'm getting married next month and my seamstress doesn't steam the dresses.

I got married in May and didn't know where to take my address for cleaning and preserving. In July I finally called a few places and checked Yelp. I found GPS and left a message for Robin. She called me back the same day, answered all my questions, and even provided advice in case I chose a different vendor. I was impressed with her customer service and competitive pricing that I decided to go with her. We made an appointment for me to drop off my gown in and she was awesome. We inspected my dress and veil centimeter by centimeter to identify any stains or tears. Luckily no tears, minor stains, and the usual dirt on the inside hems. Robin kept me up to date on the status of my dress and was super responsive when I had questions. I picked up my dress and veil yesterday and it's beautiful!!! Thank you Robin! I can't wait to work with you soon to build our wedding shadow box. read more
