The material used to fabricate the inner chamber of your gown case are acid-free and sulfur-free. Cacium carbonate, an alkaline buffer, has been added to the paperboard to alleviate the formation of volatile and migrating acids. Additionally, lignin, a natural adhesive found in trees, has been removed because of its acidic properties. Our unique, multi-layered construction also helps lock out moisture, mildew, moths, dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants.

Your gown should NEVER be stored in the attic of cellar because of extremes in temperature and humidity. It is very important that you store your packaged gown in a coll, dry place away from light. An ideal location of storage would be in a temperature controlled room such as a bedroom, laying flat, supported by wooden blocks, to insure proper flow of ventilation.

In the event your gown should ever be subject to a disaster such as fire or flood, Cherished Heirlooming will re-clean and repackage your gown FREE of Charge.
