Wedding Dress Cleaning
Our specialist wedding dress cleaning service uses bespoke, hand-crafted techniques tailored to each gown's unique fabric and design. With over 24 years of experience, we employ pH-neutral materials to prevent long-term damage while removing even the most challenging stains. The process includes free UK-wide collection and delivery, comprehensive insurance coverage, and a meticulous inspection to ensure optimal results for every client.
Storage Boxes
Our museum-quality storage boxes protect wedding dresses using pH-neutral, acid-free materials to prevent yellowing and discolouration. Available in six sizes, these durable boxes ensure long-term preservation while allowing fabrics to breathe. Each box includes acid-free tissue paper and decorative trim, with optional personalisation available to create a unique keepsake for generations to cherish.

Our in-house seamstresses provide expert dress repair services, addressing tears, missing embellishments, or structural issues with precision. Using specialist techniques and materials, we restore damaged areas to match original craftsmanship while maintaining the gown's integrity. This service ensures your dress remains in pristine condition for future generations to admire and enjoy.
Veil Cleaning
Specialist veil cleaning removes stains and discolouration while preserving delicate lace and tulle. Our gentle yet effective process maintains fabric integrity, ensuring veils retain their original whiteness and texture. This service includes careful inspection for weak points and reinforcement where needed, guaranteeing your complete bridal ensemble remains immaculate for years to come.

Dulais are amazing, fantastic & Im an even happier newlywed! I was married in Spain, walked the streets in my dress, had photos on the beach and I was still shocked at just how filthy my dress was at the end of the night. It was so bad I thought the train would have to be cut away to salvage the dress. Dulais were recommended to me by Wendy at Bridal Wish, 50 mile round trip and they have my dress as good as new!! Satin wedding shoes look brand new and my veil is amazing.
Amazing customer service, warm & friendly and most of all they are the best at what they do!
Brides do not hesitate in taking your designer dress to Dulais, its in the safest hands! Thanks guys, youre the best!
