I had a great experience getting my dress cleaned after my wedding. It was easy and my dress came back thoroughly cleaned. Communication was great and everyone I dealt with was so nice, I definitely recommend!

Pratt Abbott is incredible and such a great cleaners for out of town brides. Traveling with my dress on the plane left it a bit wrinkled and I was nervous to use a cleaner I've never used before on such an important garment and day but based on the reviews I went for it and I'm so glad I did. They take such great care of your dress and even package it up for you in a way that you can easily carry it back (a must for taking the ferry) and then when you let it down it's completely smooth and perfect. Highly recommend for any bride!

Very well priced and did a great job getting stains/dingey spots out of my second-hand dress!

Outstanding job pressing our wedding day clothes! The staff at Pratt Abbott were so kind and took us in on fairly short notice. They did a beautiful job pressing my gown - tulle and beading weren’t the easiest to work with, but they knocked it out of the park. They also made sure my husband’s suit was flawless for pictures.

I wanted to make sure to clean and preserve my wedding gown so l looked around and read reviews. I took it to Pratt Abbott and I couldn't have been happier!!! It was so easy to drop off and pick up. They did an amazing job on the preservation and were all so kind. I received updates on when the dress would be done and it came right on time.
