Go Green....Be Sentimental!

Have you ever thought about "going green" in the same breath as "being sentimental"?  We have helped several of our customers by cleaning and restoring their mother's or grandmother's vintage wedding gowns.  Have you thought about just using the fabric and converting it for a grandchild's (or great-grandchild's) christening gown?  Check out the picture below for a 1950's silk satin gown.  The customer only wanted to use the fabric from the skirt, so, for fun, we hung the restored fabric skirt with the unrestored top to show how much difference we can make!
Stay tuned--hopefully, we'll get a picture of the christening gown made out of this beautiful silk satin fabric!

If you're looking for expert vintage or couture gown care, you've found us!  Garments can be dropped off at any St Croix Cleaners location, or you can call us at (651) 351-3951 to set up an appointment with our Specialty Restoration Manager at our location in Stillwater. Treasured Garment Restoration is a division of St. Croix Cleaners
