Amazing experience

Melissa at Kite’s is a genius! You’ll see in the attached photos that I had my mother’s wedding dress from the 80s that was yellowed and stained. A few weeks with Melissa and it was bright white, no stains anywhere and in pristine condition. She answered all of our questions and was incredibly nice to my mother and I. She was honest every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone.

Attention to detail.

This dress was worn for an outdoor wedding. And was partied in most of the night. We knew from the beginning we would have to send it off to be professionally cleaned. Honestly I was worried that they would never be able to get all the dirt and stains out.

We are amazed by the workmanship these ladies have done. I can not think them enough for the care they showed for our daughters dress.
