ladies, who already got their dress cleaned/preserved...

first off, is there a difference?
2nd, how did they do it? did they explain the process to you... and did they use some kind of gas in there preservation?
and last, is your dress in plastic, inside the box?

I'm interested in knowing this too. I have been putting off doing it because of sheer ignorance.

thank you... my mom already got it cleaned for me, she was just wondering about the way certain places did it... and also if we should leave it in the plastic or let it breathe a little?

I took mine to my local cleaners here in Hauppauge. I am not sure the chemicals they use but it is in a box that is air tight. He said that opening the box can ruin the preservation.
