While home irons can handle light garments, wedding gowns and formal dresses require expert care and attention.

Preparing your wedding gown before the big day ensures a stunning look and easy preservation afterward.
Before the Ceremony:

- Store your gown in a breathable garment bag (avoid plastic).
- Minimize handling to prevent oils or smudges.
After the Ceremony:
- Have your gown professionally cleaned right away to prevent staining.

FAQs – Wedding Dress & Gown Pressing
How much does it cost to press a wedding dress?
Prices vary based on the gown:
- Material
- Layers
- And Size
Because every dress is unique, we prefer to provide custom quotes after speaking directly with you. This ensures accurate pricing and builds confidence from the start.
Can a wedding dress be pressed?
Absolutely! Wedding dresses can be pressed safely when done by professionals who understand the sensitivity of the fabric. Our steam and press process smooths out every wrinkle while protecting delicate lace, silk, and beadwork.
What does it mean to get a dress pressed?
“Pressing” a dress means removing wrinkles and setting the fabric into its natural shape using steam or controlled heat. Without dragging or stretching the material. It creates a crisp, elegant finish ideal for photos and ceremonies.
What is the difference between pressing and ironing?
Pressing uses gentle pressure and steam, lifting and lowering the iron rather than sliding it across the fabric.
Ironing, on the other hand, involves back-and-forth motion, which can stretch or damage delicate fabrics. Pressing is safer for wedding gowns and formal wear.
What equipment is used for pressing?
Professional pressing involves industrial-grade steamers, padded boards, and fabric-safe irons. Our Chicago facility utilizes temperature-controlled equipment specifically designed for delicate bridal fabrics, ensuring a flawless and damage-free result.
