Gown looks beautiful!

My gown looks gorgeous after being dry cleaned with Pratt Abbott! I was soo pleased with it. There was some rips in my dress that happened from my bustle and they were able to fix it all and make it look brand new again. Highly recommend!

Wedding dress preserved

My sister had her gown which was my grandmothers 1932 princess style gown refurbished first then Pratt Abbott preserved it in 1991. It is stunning! This is why ai chose Pratt Abbott to reserve my Gunne Sax dress from 1985. They brought it back to its original white color and preserved in a beautiful box with a window. Thank you. Highly recommend

Destination Maine

With a daughter living across the country and returning to Maine for her nuptials there were plenty of details to confirm. As mother of the bride, one of mine was to have her gown pressed and ready for the special day! I could not have been more pleased with the professionalism and attention to all my questions and concerns. Pratt Abbott did a fantastic job! The gown looked perfect and was ready exactly when promised. I will now be returning to have the gown cleaned and preserved. I HIGHLY recommend for your wedding gown needs!
