Gown Preservation Specialists is a 20 plus year company with a proven track record that speaks for itself with countless 5 star ratings. She is delighted to be an affiliate in the Ohio and surrounding area and looks forward to serving you in preserving your gown. No bride should have to worry about a yellowing dress!
Hailey-CEO (St. Louis, Missouri)
Hailey specializes in working with gowns that have been preserved for decades, recreating them into heirlooms for daughters, granddaughters, and future brides. Through , Still Her Dress she’s unboxed hundreds of gowns and seen the long-term effects of traditional cardboard-box preservation: yellowed sequins, discoloration, and set-in stains.
She knew today’s brides deserved better, so she set out to find a preservation method that would truly stand the test of time.
Now, through Missouri Gown Preservation, Hailey offers a museum-quality process trusted by textile conservators, giving brides across Missouri and Illinois the best chance to keep their gowns beautiful for generations to come.
Because if your gown matters, how it’s preserved should too.
