Care Labels
May 7th, 2007 by Jim Parham
Care labels in wedding dresses can be very confusing. We just recently received a wedding gown to preserve that had two care labels. One of the care labels instructed to wash the dress and the other care label, found in the skirt area, read dry clean only.
If this wedding dress was washed it would have been ruined because it was silk. The two different care labels could have been an excuse for mishandling the dress by inexperienced wedding dress cleaners.
The discrepancy was quickly observed by our staff and the gown was drycleaned and came out beautifully.
