Sending Dresses, Formal Gowns, Qipao and Skirts: How We Handle Sequins, Lace and Pleats

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Dresses, formal gowns, qipao and skirts vary a great deal in material and decoration. Two items that are both “a dress” may need completely different treatment. When we take them in we look first at the care label, the fabric and the decoration, then decide how to clean them.

Dresses, formal gowns and qipao

• We follow the care label with a dry clean or a wet clean, give extra protection to sequins, beading and lace, and do our best to keep the shape and reduce the risk of distortion and fading.
• Formal gowns often have pulled threads after they’ve been worn; these may show more clearly after cleaning, and we’ll photograph them and explain when we take the item in.
• Pressed after cleaning.

Pleated skirts

• We look at the fabric first: polyester pleats are heat-set and stand up better to washing; pleats in wool, silk and rayon come out more easily.
• We treat them according to the material and press the pleats one by one after washing. How far the pleats can be restored is something we’ll tell you after we’ve seen the fabric.

Long skirts and wool skirts

• Wool shrinks if it meets hot water and rubbing; we follow the care label with a dry clean or a low-temperature wet clean.
• For skirts with a lining, the outer and inner materials may shrink differently. After cleaning we press the hem.
